Unless the dealers pulled the old stunt of taking their car keys as a condition of the test drive, then didn’t disclose the pricing scam until after the test drive was over and held their car hostage over it.

For a vehicle whose name could easily be pronounced as “chair”, I’m not truly surprised. Notable is the lack of people complaining about reliability. Basically the buyer criteria is thus: 1. must be an suv/cuv (no sedans here), 2. must be cheap, and 3. must be a reliable toyota. As an owner of a largely trouble-free…

Exactly this.  It looks like a fun rally car, which attracts young, mostly female buyers… in reality it has very little power, FWD and gets middling fuel economy.   

They know “enthusiasts” will bitch. They know buyers won’t care and will probably like it.

“I don’t know how Hyundai does it. These days, if there’s a car to build or a category it hasn’t served yet, it finds a way to fill that gap. Soon you’ll be able to get a Veloster, an Elantra or even a Kona with the same high-output turbo-four; this is also the same company that will sell you a three-row SUV.”

Whatever actually happened, the guy already ruined his car and had to pay to get the car removed, so his stupidity was likely sufficiently punished that getting the legal system involved was a waste of time.

Bed goes up, Bed goes down. Bed goes up, Bed goes down...

This pretty anecdotal: Out of the hundreds of Tesla’s I’ve seen, I can count on one hand the number of times one used a turn signal.

Whats the problem, when the VW parts die, you just cut off the Chevy body and slip another VW under it. Rinse and repeat every 5000 miles!

“They take you to Computer Express on High Street, next to the dog grooming place.”  I slammed on the brakes because, THIS LITERAL THING HAPPENED. I had to go look and your bio says from Ohio but that’s a pretty specific place in Ohio, one that is sadly not there anymore. (last I saw they had moved next door to…

YAAAAAASSSSSSS!!! ITS BACKKKKK!!

I'm from Seattle and had to nod along with this.

Now if can just get Kari Byron to dress up as Barbarella

Yes they can, this is the United States, we build military airframes that go on forever and ever and ever. Not just stuff like B-52's and KC-135's; we really got our money out of the Orions, the Vikings were retired way before their time. Heck, the Crusaders were put down too early. We invented the airplane, we still…

This reminds me that I still have a ways to go to get as many endorsements on my license (Michigan) as possible. I've got regular/operator (O), motorcycle (CY), recreational double (RR), and Commercial Single Vehicle <26,000lbs., Non-air brakes (CDL-C,28)

In the aviation world, this aircraft is seen in the same way the US sees Chinese cars.

I think the Honda Super Cub is the only vehicle that can come close to the NSX Type R in terms of greatness, albeit for very different reasons. I'm sure the CVCC and Goldwing are great, but are they the greatest? Not a chance.

You couldn't be more misinformed. Due to generations of improper forest "management" including more than a century of destructive logging techniques, there is an unimaginably large amount of dead material littering our major forests. There is little dispute, that removing this mass of material would help bring back…

So basically they are removing biomass from a balanced ecosystem to take outside of that environment, expend energy from other sources to turn it into Jet Fuel, disperse that carbon into the atmosphere and we are supposed to cheer?
