We will know this scandal has ended once Ferdinand Piech is indicted. He is really the only person at VW who could have greenlighted the project, and he should be the one to be held accountable. Given his status as the Lord of German manufacturing, and the German nation’s putative Grandpa, his comeuppance is

If buzzfeed wishes to be a credible news source, it will need to vet stories prior to publication. That is the only responsible approach to news reporting. Failure to act responsibly correctly positions an organization in the line of fire for scorn and mockery. Buzzfeed blew it, and Trump is correct to call them out

“a metric shit-ton of shots”

Of all the technical innovation presented in the CT6, this is the news?

It has been fascinating to observe how, despite fervent and ongoing efforts by every Lefty political group, and their aligned Federal agencies, demand for thirsty SUV’s soars. An excellent illustration of how CAFE regulations only force manufacturers to design, build, and market cars very few wish to buy. CAFE

This story would not have been presented if the person in question wasn’t a known Republican. We all know Gawker was rabidly anti-Republican...but do the new owners wish to intentionally alienate about half of the US market? Is this good business?


Turkey is a large country, with many airports. Why is the location of the airport in question not mentioned in this copy? Is the Who—What—Where aspect of reporting no longer important?

Uhm, that is a Ford color...Grabber Blue. Best seen on Mustangs and Mavericks of the early 1970s.

Shocking that cars so popular with rental fleets are adopting the “cow-catcher” design language that has set Lexus apart. Somebody in Japan has completely forgotten about marketing...product positioning...differentiation....aspirational branding, etc.

I can’t imagine Toyota marketing a rear drive mass-market car with the Toyota badge. That’s why Lexus exists. Why cannibalize their golden goose?

To my eye, Toyota/Lexus styling has gone off the rails. Very fiddly, busy noses and tails with sill, function-less affectations. Quarter panel “vents” below the Camry tail lights? To vent ambient intestinal gases from the rental-spec interiors?

Does the American market really need more generic Asian car options? I don’t think so. That said, Nissan and Hyundai need to get some more lobbyists in DC....delay the arrival of Chinese cars as long as possible.

Made for the American market? I would venture to guess that achieving compliance with the partial offset, and other crash protection protocols will be a major challenge for Chinese manufacturers. Old platforms can’t achieve compliance. They will need to start over. It is not easy, it is not inexpensive.

Fine, you go stand in some filthy bus or rail car, with a stoned child molester right next to you...I will go cross town in my car....with doors locked!

The Mayor can”t go anywhere in his city without his view being crowded by autos...yet he considers them archaic. Why not go back to using horses?....they were sooooo much cleaner....more green!

Sticking with V-Twins made comparos to Harley inevitable. Harley brand loyalty towers over Ducati and Ferrari. Harley logos are tattoed on thousands of arms....necks, and even faces. No other brand has such deep identity. I credit them for trying, and the motorcycle world benefited from their efforts, but

Here are my ancestors posing next to the Yosemite tree in their 1918 Dodge Bros. touring car.

This story will not be over until Dr. Ferdinand Piech is made accountable.

Ryan is not closing PP. Ryan is working to discontinue government funding, at the behest of a majority of Americans who don’t want to pay for killing large numbers of black babies every year.

Does “shit weasel” pass for cogent thought at Jezebel these days?
