In case you live outside of the United States and don't know a damn thing about the muscle car market:if you're in the market for a Challenger, you don't give a damn about fuel efficiency, volumetric efficiency, etc. All you car about is that it has a big V8 that sounds good and is faster than 70% of the shitboxes on…

The Challenger in unapologetically American. They just don't give a damn about hp/liter or weight.

Thank you Chevy for this awesome sex machine.

I hope GM realizes that engineers (maybe not the same two) found out the problem and informed their superiors about it (doing their job)! Management specifically ignored the requests to make the changes.

I fail to see how the engineers are liable. I'm far from a legal expert, but I hope the engineers can fight this in…

This is bullshit. Decisions like this are made by managers, not engineers. I have never met an engineer that wouldn't have preferred to fix the problem the right way, it's the bean-counters that place a dollar value on human life.

Elon Musk emigrated here, became a naturalized citizen, and became wildly successful. Sounds like the American ideal to me.

My favorite part was when some loudmouthed congressional boob acted aghast that Barra did not know about the ignition switch situation back in 200x when she was in charge of assembly line machinery.

I never go more than 4 mph over the speed limit. Never had any problems with law enforcement over that. I slow down to a GPS-verified 0 over the speed limit when the dickheads tailgate me. When they pass, I whip out the cellphone, lean over, and stare at their license plate.

As a former police officer, I would also like to share something I was told not long after getting into a powerful police cruiser for the first time, that no emergency justifies having an accident to get there. If you are speeding, your stopping distance is greater, the distance you will travel before your reactions…

And it is even cheaper to buy to buy a government official.

Sadly the engineers never made it to Anaheim in their HHRs and Cobalts.

welcome to the US, here's your ounce and some astro-glide.

"GM now has a good idea of what it is going to face," said Peter Henning, a Wayne State University law professor and former SEC attorney. He believes GM is certain to face a criminal probe and many tough questions in the months or years to come, and says the government could ultimately seek to impose a fine of more…

What was wrong with having knobs and buttons?

I dunno, I always have a ridiculously hard time getting the voice control to do what I want it to do on newer cars. Mrs. PG has one of the most common girl's names in the universe, yet when I ask most new cars to call her, they act like I'm speaking Mandarin. Maybe it's my voice.

No problems here. There is an On switch which also doubles as volume, and the other switch changes radio stations. Buttons in the middle are station presets. They still work after 43 years, and bet they still work after those touch screen crap interfaces that is in new cars stop working.

I use the Always-Leave-Ahead-Of-Schedule-And-Pull-Over-To-Use-The-Phone system. It's worked out great for me and even transfers to any vehicle I use. On weekends I often use the Best Friend system as well. That one is even better because it can drive the car by itself, which is great for longer trips.

I don't know enough about it to give an informed opinion but here it goes anyway: I don't think anything will come of this recall. In a couple years it will be forgotten and GM will be no worse for the wear. If these had been luxury cars failing and people with trust funds and bankrolls were dying GM would have a…

Looks like a rotund James May.

if this was Porsche or BMW, everyone would have put the blame properly on the owners with the massive keychains. Or if there'd been a few cases quietly solved, there would have been no screams of "coverup" when no recalls were issued.
