My GF’s plug-in hybrid (a C-Max) doesn’t even run the gas engine unless she hits the highway. Around town, to work (5 mins each way) and to the store and for errands, it’s always in electric mode. She plugs it in every night, and that’s pretty much normal... the 87%. The gas is there for the not-normal stuff. She only…

Neutral: Is Ford On The Money Here?

I’m still holding out for a Pacifica Hellcat.

Isn’t it truly hilarious that what GM needs right now to make electric cars work is basically a 2016 version of Saturn?

Yep. There’s a reason I don’t plan to live any longer than 74 years or the first sign of Alzheimers, whichever comes first. Got 46 years to go!

While I am surprised that a mistake like this would have been made, I applaud any automaker that voluntarily recalls cars after finding a potential problem and owns up to their mistakes. I like a company that takes responsibility like that and it makes me respect Porsche.

Try getting in a Ford transit connect. those sun visors are as big as a cafeteria tray!

New Logo:

Please enlighten me.

4-door version of a 2-door version of a 4-door car. Insanity.

The other 20% actually does take longer, since charging is not linear. As the battery gets full it takes longer for the ions to get to where they need to go. This is true for phones and laptops as well.

Find a good Legacy GT for $5k...more like $7-9k.

Investor Confucius say "Cheaper is option for urea injection, then golden showers for all."

300-330hp seems perfect to me in an average sized sedan/wagon. Enough to have plenty of fun, not enough to REALLY get into trouble. And generally it means the engine isn’t tuned to the edge so you maintain some semblance of reliability and efficiency for everyday daily driver usage.

Driving over those tubes causes additional resistance against the tires of the passing cars? That resistance would cause those cars to spend more energy to maintain speed.

This is Jalopnik. I imagine readers/commenters cross shop all sorts of weird things. Last time I bought a car it was between a Genesis Coupe 3.8 R-spec, a used Lotus Elise and a JCW Mini.

I like the exterior, but the interior looks strange and ill-proportioned. Maybe it’s the camera angle, but it looks as if, sitting in the driver’s seat and looking over the dashboard, you wouldn’t actually be able to see the road ahead.

Except what’s truly booming are not SUVs, but CUVs. Honda’s best seller, the CR-V, is built on a Civic platform. Yes, it’s a bit taller and heavier - putting it (in terms of interior space - and also in price) right up there with the Accord, a mid-sized car (and what you’d traditionally think of as a family vehicle).…

What about the plug-in?
Any words on the pricing?
Is has a 48 km range from a 16 kWh battery, and could be a more spacious alternative to the Outlander plug-in. If it’s well priced, Chrysler might have some success.
Also, good on them for planning a 6.6 kW charger: you’ll get a full charge in less than 2.5 hours.
The Volt…

I think there is also a huge point missing or maybe it doesnt belong here.

Look for services. When I bought my house it was everything I wanted but I forgot, no, I didnt pay enough attention to how the services were provided to my place. I live in a private neighborhood and my services are underground, because of that…
