> I wonder how many BMWs can make the same claim.

Why does this car look so good? I’m not really a C5 fan, but something about that color and those wheels... I just can’t put my finger on it.

Haha like anybody (or at least anybody important) does the speed limit on Korean highways. They warn you when there’s a speed camera ahead, for chrissakes! Twice!

Hey! My E39 M5 is ligh.....

308 values holding steady for the last 20 years? What are you smoking?

AET is in Baudette, though. I miss testing there. North Lake Cafe every day.

“Nonetheless, the company claimed it would break ground on the new factory this month, but we have yet to hear any such thing with three days left in January.”

The visual mods on that car are only going to hurt it. The “M” badge on the trunk should say “M5", and it’s in the wrong spot anyway. Also that janky “carbon fiber” trim is nasty.

There’s no such thing as “coasting” in a Tesla. Lifting off the accelerator activates some pretty aggressive regenerative braking (trust me, I’ve driven both and it’s way more aggressive than doing the same in your Volt). The decelleration experienced is similar to a light brake application — one that would activate…

Call him a pussy.

This thread is hilarious. One half is people who think that others are acting maliciously when they do not put others’ comfort above their own. The other half thinks that others are acting inconsiderately when they do not put other’s comfort above their own. It’s hard to keep track of which side is which.

I’m trying to figure out what costs it does save. As I pointed out, likely the only item that can be carried over is the cluster itself and that can be carried over anyway.

That’s not really true. Most of the cost of making an RHD derivative is tied up in the HVAC system, necessary changes to the steering gear and linkage, brake booster and routing, different wiring harnesses, and super-expensive crash and homologation testing. The cluster itself is a minuscule percentage of the sum…

To be fair, the Elantra Touring in your picture is several years old. They don’t sell n Elantra wagon anymore (just the GT 5-door hatch). The same year the above Elantra left the market was when Europe saw the introduction of the i40—a wagon that the Koreans got very, very right indeed.

The MV-1 was just a hustled-together POS designed solely to take advantage of the Federal Transit Administration’s “Buy America” provision, which requires the Federal government to buy US-made vehicles in classes where US-made vehicles are available. When Chrysler moved production of the Caravan across the border,…

Well, they mean something to the manufacturers, who pay a fortune for detailed breakdowns. What are they thinking, they could just ask you!

Oh, it’s that old “Hyundai-Kia have poor quality” argument again. Are you proud to be stuck ten years in the past?

Oh I get it, it’s a race thing.

“Strangerover, you work in the auto industry and drive a ton of different cars. What kind of car should I buy?”
