The only reason we can't have these cars is because US and EU won't harmonize the crash testing and emissions testing between them, so automakers have to do double work to certify cars on both sides of the Atlantic. Even standards between the US and Canada are slightly different for God's sake! We can all dream of…

Everyone is worried that with such a radical shift the aluminum F150 will blow up in Ford's face. Looks like they've done everything they can to work out the kinks.

(meaning NEVER)

Not never

Detroit is actually a genius idea. Detroit is about to stage a comeback, what with a new mayor who actually wants to get shit done, the bankruptcy that will fix its finances, and loads of state and federal money coming in to help. The Olympics would be a great excuse for politicians to pour new money into the city…

The trouble with Congress and politics in general, all in one article. Extremely long (self)serving politicians, nepotism, crime, sense of privilege (gov't owned Escalade??), and sheer laziness/incompetence (not being able to successfully and legally get 1000 signatures). That he was the second longest serving…

I like the 2nd gen better than the first, until they started putting those stupid looking wheels from the top photo on it. Probe isn't the best name, but it was better than it being the Mustang...

They are CARS, not puppies. Relax people

I sold cars for 7 years. people bought cars without test drives all the time. Some I had to force to get in the car. And it's very common for people to make impulse purchases. Oh, and no matter where customers go, they are "just looking" and "this is our first stop." LOL. So many people waste hours and hours at…

The sad reality is that there are only so many people who can buy cars like these, so they all buy them in the initial rush, then the automakers need to discount to keep the sales going, and eventually the cars get cancelled due to lack of profitability. I'm old and have seen it happen over and over during the last 30…

Everything you mention is technically possible today. One thing that hasn't come up with the NSA controversy is whether they were tracking connected cars. After all, there are countless millions on the road today and even the ones without paid subscriptions are connected to their respective motherships. Who's to say…

The "automobile of 1973" looks a lot like a current minivan with a touch screen dash. So they were off 40 years...

In the end I see automakers eliminating the tacked on screens and just having a docking station there for the driver to plug in their own screen

The new Subaru Impreza 5 door is a dead ringer for a Caiber

Did Honda make the Fit ugly on purpose so everyone would want the HR-V instead?

It's not brown. Fail.

I honestly didn't think that could happen to a ship of that size. I guess I just assumed those ships ignored the waves.

Exactly. Defintiely don't hose it down. But you can use a dustpan and broom, then some wet Swiffer pads lol, Ugliest yet most useful vehicle I've ever owned.

Musk's argument that a franchise dealer won't be enthusiastic enough about selling the Tesla is bunk. I'm sure he would only allow stand alone stores if it came to that, and a dealer would be crazy to spend the money to open a location then let it rot. I could see if the Tesla was parked next to another luxury car in…

Hartford has a bunch of vacant buildings. I'm sure the parking lots generate more revenue than the empty buildings - for their owners at least.
