Errm, urbanization doesn't mean less freedom of movement. If I walk out of my suburban house right now (car is in the shop) it's miles along a highway to a grocery store, school, library, medical clinic, shopping district, etc. It's pretty freedom limiting.

Statist? Really? Isn't this more about logical conclusions than trying to engineer state control. Also, how different is it really when instead of us trying to follow the rules it's just a computer following the rules? This change in transportation habits will be weird for us, as drivers, but most humans use their…

Elon Musk envisions self-driving cars being taken to their logical conclusion: crashes eliminated and drivers outlawed. After all, "You don't want a person driving a two-ton death machine," says Musk.

Old Merc diesels, there is a parts warehouse in Bellingham I could go raid. It comes complete with full repair guides and workshop spaces too. Given that all the issues are known at this point and it needs minimal electrics to run it makes a good candidate for longterm running.

Neutral: Hyundai Santa Cruz: Would You Buy One?

look at that brake-to-wheelwell ratio. damn.

Favorite car of drug dealers who are bad at math and weird high school principals.

VANOS?!?! Wakeup Sheeple.

Leaf, $1k at the base end

Well, 40,000 units a year isn't exactly niche? What should we call this gulf between Camry and Volvo sales?

The salient question here is, will this cost the same as the V8 or the Diesel mill? If they split the difference then there really is zero logic in buying it. That is presuming it tows less than the Diesel, costs more, and won't be as powerful as the V8.

Well I don't totally disagree with your point that bland cars don't transmit the image of "green car look-at me" your Leaf-Focus EV analogy is problematic. The Focus EV doesn't have a quick charger, doesn't have the range, and doesn't have the price/incentives from Ford that the Leaf does from Nissan. And at the end…

So here we go:

Wait, so where are the crash test results and EPA testing numbers for this "E6"...pics or it didn't happen.

But what of a GT4 Spyder? Hmmm...

The amount of honking and escalation is shocking... just chill out.

"Minor Frontend scratch, will buff out" -craigslist

We all do, but that would cost G-Wagen 6x6 money to build.

Odds are if you buy a SportWagen, you're gonna put stuff in it, like people or dogs or lumber or Spec Cavalier parts (It's a new racing series I'm putting together) or whatever you're into. You get some SUV-shaming space here: 30.4 cubic feet of space with the rear seats up, 66.5 cubic feet with them down. That easily…
