And this...is exactly why I respect Porsche the most as a brand. They want their cars to be driven. Fuck the speculators, you want to sell a 911 R for double its price? Here’s a GT3 touring with a manual.

I can’t really figure out if you have posted this seriously or not. I’m gonna go with joking - hoping Jalopnik writers at least google shit before posting

Please learn the difference between polluting emissions and CO2 as a global warming gas emission. Cats and electronic controls limit particulates and NOx....they do nothing to CO2 emissions.

Yeah dude, emissions and pollution are totally political. Eyeroll. I agree, that Rover decal is bulshit but luckily, meanwhile, real ‘mericans in real non-liberal ‘merican hardworking towns roll coal in their hard-working commuting pickups to support the hard working coal industry, which we know, is the future.

Sorry…

Are you really asking that? They are directly related to one another. Internet is full of calculators for that. I understand that in the Land of Gas Guzzlers mpg and CO2 emissions aren’t a thing (unless one drives a electric car so it seems a bit black and white).

There’s certain amount of carbon that needs to go…

Because it is almost double the fuel consumption the fleet average has to achieve quite soon. As Suzuki does not have hybrids or electrics to compensate, the Jimny is problematic for Suzuki. The fuel consumption fleet average of Suzuki would be too high, resulting in steep fines for Suzuki.

Yeah, it’s a bus without many of the crappy aspects of a bus. Its like bitching that Netflix is just like Blockbuster, just with more flexible viewing options.

“Was the design brief “make it something you can hose down...”

Scaling these down from buses to run more direct routes that take less overall time would probably be attractive to people, yes.

“This seems like Cruise has set out to make city bus drivers obsolete, which didn’t really seem like a problem that we, as a society, really worried about.”

Somebody let grandpa on the computer again.

Counterpoint: I would say the type of person who takes investment advice from a car blog probably benefits immensely when someone tells them to refrain from attempting to pick a unicorn and just go zero fee index.

This right here is what pisses me off. I’m a very early millennial. I’ve been in the work force in some way shape or form for almost 20 years. I’ve been paying taxes, I own a home, I’ve purchased more than a handful of cars, I have a sizeable 401(k), two degrees with no student debt, etc. Yet to some people, I’m still…

As a Millennial, neither I nor any of my friends care about that stuff. Not because we don’t want it, but because it’s so far out of reach. We all drive economy cars, live in shitty apartments, chip away at debt, and lose our jobs every couple years. I notice frivolous spending on three things:

What’s also crazy is that only 55% of baby boomers have ANY retirement savings, and the average even then is something like $165k.

I would say it’s unregulated capitalism.

Read an assertion somewhere recently that if US worker pay had kept up with not only inflation and the cost of living but economic productivity, the minimum wage would be around $22 an hour. The problem is that the fruits of the improvement have been concentrated in narrow tranches near the top.

Furthermore, not enough of them are even retiring. The pernicious combination of widespread borrowing, the untested reality of actually banking on a 401K for retirement, and the stigma of old age has kept a lot of these folks in jobs long past what we’d previously consider “retirement age.” 

I have a house too, but thanks for the cool story about pinching pennies.

I’m Gen X, and let’s just say that I’ve never had the “good stuff” that the boomers have had in terms of benefits (full company pension plan indexed to inflation when they retire, medical benefits paid by the company when they retire), it’s not a millennial thing or Gen Z thing, it’s basically goodies that the boomers…
