H2 production requires a lot more electricity per mile than a BEV though. So, H2 would not be a solution. Except for storing excess energy during peak production moments, maybe.

The thing is: Germany, like other European countries, needs to lower its carbon emissions. Not just tailpipe emissions, but electricity generation emissions as well.

Almost certainly Germans think that the USA is weird.

That car would have been junked ages ago in Germany. The rust alone would have already sealed its fate, years ago.

FWD, monocoque, mass produced (760 thousand), independent suspension, rack and pinion steering. Introduced in 1934. Arguably more modern than a 2012 Crown Vic.

The special thing was that this 1950s truck was released in 1935, while still looking like this. The one in the article is from after the 1953 restyle.

That Nash is a much bigger car though.

Agreed. A crossover would make so much more business sense.

Mission accomplished.

Well, maybe the magic seats in the Civic. Like this 2013 Civic wagon.

To be fair, it’s somewhere between a 2021 A4 and A6 in size. Both in total length and in wheelbase. The A6 is most certainly a big car in 2021 Europe. In the late 50s and early 60s cars were smaller than nowadays, in Europe.

And, as shown here, you can get them with the steering wheel on the left side. As long as you avoid the UK market.

I am not making this up. Here is a link to the PDF service manual. Page 18 (21 in the PDF).

The oil change one kills me. Some people can get so incredibly neurotic about it. A guy in one of my car clubs back in the day would literally change his oil every 1500 miles. This was for a German car, and he was using Mobil 1 synthetic.

Imagine a Japanese movie that takes place in the California. All the Americans speak either Japanese, or speak with a thick Texan accent while living in California. The American characters are overly stupid, only eat fast food and are grossly obese. They obviously wear cowboy hats and boots too, all the time. The…

Yes. It has been like this for a very long time. The notification system has been broken for ages as well.

It’s an RV. RVs are driven long distance in Europe as well. 56 miles is nothing.

Weight is an issue in Europe, where this RV is presented. Standard EU drivers licenses only allow you to drive a vehicle up to 3.5 metric tonnes. Not curb weight, but 3.5 tonnes maximum weight. You'd need a heavier duty license when you want to drive something heavier.

I’m not too familiar with Toyota’s US lineup, but why are they still offering ‘large’ displacement NA engine? I thought that shipped had sailed in 2021 2015, which is why everything has less displacement and a turbo nowadays. At least on this side of the pond. More torque at lower rpm means easier passing and less…

On the one hand, sure why not? Historically the Corolla was available in all kinds of configurations and this is the natural if more boring evolution of the Corolla wagon.
