The manufacturers have no interest in killing their cash cows by offering smaller, cheaper trucks. One of the benefits of a protected market. I’m sure they wish they would have had something similar for cars. There is a guy in my neighborhood that certainly could afford a top of the line F-150, but he drives an 80s…

Cramped? A friend of mine has a new Canyon and I wouldn’t call it cramped at all. How many people are you trying to stuff in one of them or are you trying to lay down across the back seat?

I wouldn’t consider them to be a small truck. I do not believe they are offered with a manual in the US either.

From a business prospective, sure. As a customer, that is the biggest difference that I’ve seen in addition to having the payment details handled by the app. Unless there is some odd legal requirement, I don’t see why a “regular taxi” company couldn’t adopt some of those same tools and practices to improve customer…

Which of the new Subarus would you recommend?

The Crosstrek, WRX, and BRZ can be equipped with a manual in addition to the Forester.

It is to help all the other custom cars look better.

There is nothing keeping a “traditional taxi company” from doing the same sort of thing with respect to having customers summon an available cab via an app. Uber and Lyft are essentially taxi companies that utilize freelance drivers.

This feature could be useful for families or as a valet mode. I could see zipcar or other car rental firm using it as well.

I think it looks like many of GM’s other small cars, so I don’t think it’s as bad to look at as the 2017 Prius. I imagine they will sell a lot of them to fleets, especially to utilities.

But we can see all those creases, curves, and whatnot in those photos (as well as others that have shown up on this site in the past few weeks). It may work at long distances when they are at a private test track in the middle of BFE and the photographer needs a lens that’s a couple feet long. However these are in…

The retro Metro

The Bolt will sell because there are people who would like to have an electric car, but can’t spend the big bucks for a Tesla. Given that the Model 3 won’t be available until mid to late 2018, those buyers will have to choose between a Leaf or a Bolt.

I don’t know why they even bother. Unless they want to advertise “look at me! Test car!”. Paint it like an existing car and let it blend in with everything else.

It all depends on where you live. I see a few Neons every week, especially if I’m in México. I saw 6 Neons while sitting at a stop light one day. Two were in the grocery store parking lot to my right, two were in the used car lot to my left, and one was waiting on the other side of the intersection while another…

She has at different times in the past

That is likely due to Tesla being able to sell about $30k in clean energy credits per car that they make. What happens when the other manufacturers no longer need to buy those credits?

I’ve driven a Jeep that I’m pretty sure has the rear differential locked all the time. Navigating parking lots is harder than it needs to be and one can usually hear one of the tires slipping at low speeds. There is excessive tire wear as well.

How do they end up flipping over because the differential is locked?
