Makes sense to me, and more jurisdictions should do this. The impacts of micro-pollutants on the environment is only just being understood. A recent study noted how micro-pollutants from tires are significantly impacting the health of our local salmon populations. I have no doubt toxic runoff from brake pads is…

You know W came off like an idiot at times and maybe he was an idiot, but unlike our current president, I never felt like he actively hated me.

Sorry to hear about your mother falling ill, Erik. Obviously I definitely wish her a speedy recovery.

Honestly I’m kinda over the “lack of diversity in the workplace” thing. You can’t hire someone who is a person of color or a minority or a female (or any combination) just because you need diversity. You hire the best person for the position regardless of race or gender. Period.

To be fair, maserati, mclaren, ferrari and aston martin all have a good reason to want the fuel economy standards to be lowered, their business model is based on high horsepower not fuel efficiency. The other brands on that list like hyundai and honda have no excuse.

Yes, based on their successful 50 year track record, I agree that whatever California comes up with should be adopted nationally.

And every night, since the fake news said Biden won, the sun has just disappeared! Every night! It’s all from his socialist policy of “sharing” the sun around the world!

Well they can both go up in flames then

He’s too lazy to be Hitler (Thank God). Think America’s Mussolini.

I’d give you a star if Kinja didn’t hate Firefox.  So consider this my star.

Yes, kind of.  But have no fear, yesterday OPEC Plus announced a slight increase in production, so your price will certainly go back down again.

Well, since Trump’s attempt to “unite” national standards was really an attempt to wind back critical engineering improvements to help out the oil industry, I strongly suspect that those carmakers who signed up with him were only doing so to keep on the good side of a famously petulant and vindictive president. Watch…

before the election deplorables loved screaming “iF bIdEN WIns gAS wIll gEt wAy mORe EXPensIve!!!!!!”

Watch what happens under Biden. I tried to warn you that Trump would save us. We are going to see Swedish cars being made in China. Fords will be built in Mexico. They will even make 700 horsepower American muscle cars in Canada.

It’s funny because Nissan did a big Make Japan Great Again movement started by Hiroto Saikawa, who wanted Carlos Ghosn’s job. Ghosn is a gaijin (JDM word for gringo).

Excellent. Looking forward to the continuous stream of turbo-fours that aren’t actually all that efficient, but look great in testing.

Vehicles that are essentially glorified sedans with an unnecessarily tall CoG and more weight suck at handling?

“Yes, BMW put them on there and they are part of the system as a whole, but they’re parts that will likely be replaced before too long.”

I agree with you that she needs to do what’s best for GM - that’s certainly her job. And attempting to work with the Trump administration on that council was a good move, at least at the time.

The spec sheet says the 19" rim trims come with 18" rotors. So I guess it’s probably accurate.
