I am very glad that form does not follow function, and this gets to a perpetual Torch subject : how we project human characteristics onto car’s “faces”.

Yeah, I have to admit it got to the point with our older cars where one day there was a question about my wife getting to work on time due to a temperamental starter issue. Shortly afterwards we got a 2013 Nissan Leaf, and there is pretty much nothing that can go wrong with it (as long as you keep it charged). The…

We have a small car payment on one of our cars, which at 36 months made sense at the time. However, the rest of the vehicles (and the ones I drive regularly) are well over 30 years old, nothing newer than 1984. And I like it that way.

People have less to spend on a monthly basis, but they want to project the image that they can afford a new car. And they are bad at math. It really is about that simple.

Yeah - you are totally correct. I got confused because there was a similar generation Camry All-trac, but not in wagon form. Anyway, I do have a soft spot for strange wagons.

My favorite Camry (it feels very strange to say that...) is the All-trac Wagon. I mean really, who expects a Camry to be this weird and cool?:

Sure, but there is a high probability that these cars will be sold somewhere in the Americas. Canada is unlikely to be major import market for them, so French translation is not needed. So my post should clarify that the article should be translated into Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch, as those are the other main…

In particular this part of their screenshot strikes me:

Yeah, this post would be most helpful translated to Spanish and posted to the Univision side of the Gizmodo partnership. Of course if the price is right, it might still be worth buying a flood car, but the buyer should know what they are getting into up front.

Their answers were a bit of a compromise...

My favorite part of the LeSable ad was not even mentioned :

There is knot much more that she could have done to stop. Good work, and hope she is oak.

This exactly - the marketing department is landing on common phrasing to make hybrids seem new and exciting. Even mild-hybrids with start/stop assist can theoretically be touted as “electrified” under the right branding...same with the buzz about countries “outlawing sales gasoline and diesel cars by year XYZ”. Here…

I was going to say the same thing, as that was my first association when I saw this model back in the mid-2000's. It gets the job done, but nobody is excited about their purchase of Lucerne dairy products, or this car.

Car owners will be shocked to find out what this device does!

It is a bad song though, and the lyrics would not stand on their own without the beats and production that I think really guide the song (and that she is likely not responsible for, as JWhiteDidThat was the producer). Really, she rhymes “me” and “be” about 6 times consecutively...

Same, and that is so infuriating: They state that the purpose is to tell you whether or not information has been compromised, and then don’t actually tell you if the answer is affirmative!

Really beautiful car - at first I thought it was black but then realized it is very dark blue.

Yeah, the level of implausibility is off the charts here. About that 150 pound door : who would ever design a door which takes so much strength to open? Oh, yeah, a psycho who is planning on trapping people in his submarine, that’s who.

Looks legit and decent quality. It would be even better if that rear window had a slider though.
