Same here. From the various cars I either owned or drove as I was growing up; Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Jeep, Cadillac, VW, Buick, etc, never an issue.

The size of the car should seem familiar now that we have come full circle with CUVs.  They used to just be called “cars”.

So much better than the tiny wheel scooters of today.

Some rotaries around here do have lanes. Technically if you get in and are driving in the inside lane and someone is blocking you from exiting, the driver in the inside lane must keep driving in circles until they are able to safely merge out. Never seen that happen in real life though, people just go out, rarely with…

A person who posts on here and owns 2-3 Smart cars. This is like posting about the Ford GT for $kaycog, likely will see many responses.

Yes. The Auto Hold feature in my Hyundai is something of a delighter. I didn’t know it existed before I bought the car and now that I have it I will definitely look for it on future auto purchases. It is actually frustrating getting out of the car and getting into my wifes car because I have to hold the brake pedal…

It is based on battery size, not miles of range.

My Sonata PHEV gets ~28-32 mile of range in EV mode. That is used daily since it is roughly half of my commute and on 110V it takes ~7.5 hours to fully recharge. Because of this, I routinely pull down over 900 miles per tank in the warmer months of the year. When it is cold and the engine comes on for heat, I get…

That is the norm around here too, Boston area. Sure, you see a lot of high end cars but in general, you see basic vehicles in the driveways of homes that range from $500k - $900k. The excise tax on a new car in Mass is killer too.

Ha! Kids, especially young ones below Kindergarten age, cost waaaaay more. Around $1,800- $1,900 in daycare alone per month.

Maybe because they are reporting it as it was written and reported in Europe.  Just check the twitter image above, copy and paste.  Expecting more from journalists these days than copy and paste is probably too much.

You hit on the biggest contributor, weight. Weight has increased as the cars with the same model names are now at least 1 class larger than where they started and loaded up on safety tech and convenience items.

My ‘05 CTS was rear ended. Resulted in ~ $5k - $6k worth of damage, repaired through insurance at a Caddy dealer. I traded it in 7-8 months later and when I saw the car fax in the listing of the dealer I traded the car into, it did not show any damage or accident history. The reports seem useful but obviously not…

I have had a 1 mile commute (for 1 year) and currently am at around 30-32 miles each way depending on the route (35 min at 5:30am and about an hour to hour and 15 minutes going home around 3:30pm. Has been like this for over 10 years. I like the town I live in, the town where I work is even more expensive but not as…

Not sure since they rarely fly over my house on take off and given the airport is on the harbor, not sure what can be done. It is the 35k plus incoming flights I deal with.

Same in Boston and likely any other city.

I like the interpretation that Autoweek has.  Wagon.  Makes a lot of sense and given the amount of sharing between Jaguar and Land Rover, seems like no brainer.

How are they easy to bypass? I haven’t been through the new program yet but the new inspection process should be more rigorous, has more tamper proof labels and it is videotaped for evidence. The article in my link has some info.

As a person who lives below the flight path of the busiest arrival runway for BOS, in 2 different houses for ~10 years, the biggest difference in recent years is when they went to the NEX-GEN system. This forces planes into a highly concentrated corridor when landing which also focuses the pollution and noise into a…

Yes, the first half is correct.  Bernie was for tariffs as well and back when the democrats cared about the working class, they were for them too.
