Well, that’s why I mentioned the upcoming hybrid. If you care about the environment and aren’t driving a hybrid (or electric,) you’re probably doing it wrong.

Jordan did have some unusual physical gifts that aren’t obviously apparent. He had some of the largest hands in the league, while simultaneously having some of the smaller feet (size 13 shoe.) Huge hands + quick feet is a fantastic basketball recipe.

I plan on going to the Dirt Fish school in the next year, and I often have daydreams about rallying up my 135i, kinda like this:

Part of the problem could be that safety standards have required such tall door sills that some current cars do feel a bit like peeking out of a tub.

Why not go back a couple more decades to a time when there was also a higher seat position? These weren’t much different than today’s CUVs.

The Fiesta is 27/37, while the Escape is 23/30, and they’re bringing the Escape hybrid back. This isn’t like last decade, where we’re talking about less than 20mpg for monster SUVs.

They’re bringing back the Escape Hybrid for 2019. Plus, this is all just to bide time until electric adoption goes mainstream.

Not really. Do we know the mpg of the Focus Active, yet? It’s certainly not going to be 16mpg.

Crossovers aren’t a huge gas penalty over sedans.

Crossovers aren’t nearly the gas guzzlers from the last Escalade crisis.

Agreed, especially with some of the more “sporty” crossovers, like the X3.

Man, I once pre-scheduled an “SUV” rental at one of the big car rental places on a trip, because we had a lot of luggage and wanted to cart people around, and they gave me a freaking Crosstrek, which was ridiculous. We couldn’t even fit a suitcase in the trunk.

I’m not sure I agree. I currently daily a turbo, 340 horsepower car, but I often miss my base Cayman that only pushed 245 hp and wasn’t all that much lighter. When the speed limit only goes to 70, high rev’ing a car all the time is more fun that instant torque. My current car requires no effort to go fast.

I’ve been saying things similar about the future of Porsche, who is currently riding a huge wave of success on the backs of four door autos.

It sounds safer, cheaper and more fun to get a prison tattoo of an Italian flag on my dick and then go barebacking through the Bunny Ranch.

The new M2 Comp has kind of a hybrid version of the grill.

I’m not sure if it’s true, but I read somewhere that they’re going this direction to more easily hide front cameras between the grills. Either way, ugly.

Really? I know they’ll be pricey, but are we talking $500k-$1million pricey?!?!

Wow, The People’s Singer. Very nice!
