I sure hope that Barra has more in mind than just what does and doesn’t justify its cost of capital. Because here’s the thing - other companies, such as Honda and Toyota, manage to make money on small cars even here in the US. Fits, HR-Vs and so forth are selling - and creating brand loyalty as those people move up to…

In the town where I was born
Lived a man with pipes to hit
And he told us of his Ford
And we all thought “He’s a twit.”
But we drove it anyway
‘Til that Iron Duke did quit
And we all lived off the grid
In our yellow piece of shit.

We all live in a yellow piece of shit
A yellow piece of shit, a yellow piece of shit.
We all live…

welp... that was informative :p my missus loves cars... just not mine... maybe if i give it a pretty lil paintjob she’ll get over the fact its a ratty old panda..

Right on.

I fixed my late 70s Sansui tuner this morning.

That wind was no joke over the last couple days. I’m a grown-ass man and it knocked me off balance a couple times. I also trip up stairs and on flat surfaces so my balance is rather suspect but the point still stands

Yeah, I feel like this is a wasted opportunity. It used to be that a stick was the cheap option, but that’s not absolutely necessary. Put a nice manual on the top trim and charge us a premium to pay for development. I would own a 2016 Forester XT if they’d done that.

“If you absolutely, must have a crossover with a manual Subaru will sell you a base model Forester with a six-speed stick and standard AWD.” ...For now. The new Crosstrek is CVT only, and I think the Forester will be that way as well after the next redesign. As an owner of a stick shift Forester, it will be a sad…

This headline is reckless, David. Some young impressionable kid is going to read this article, and then think becoming an electrical engineer is a good idea.

Vans and RVs are the vehicles of the proletariat and the outsider. The only honest vehicles left.

There are probably a thousand concept cars with them, and annoyingly their designers still think they’re new, presumably because they’ve never been allowed to actually put them into production.

How do they test this? Shove ‘em in a BMW and see if they use their turn signals for 5 consistent miles?

BACK OFF, RECURSION.

Looks the same. Bigger headlights i guess. Seems lazy

The new Accord coupe.

I dunno. Other than the absence of the tiger nose, it just looks like a KIA to me, with some knock-off Subaru wheels.

You mean to tell me I read this whole post and didn’t once read the phrase “alternative facts?!” THAT PHRASE WAS MADE FOR THIS PETTY SHIT. For shame, David.

What no busa swap?

He was driving it himself? He’s not nearly as special as he thinks he is.
