Cadillac called. They need your help naming their new models.

Japanese brands get a pass on recycling old platforms. The Camry was built in the same platform for 3 full generations, until the new model that just came out. Same with most Infiniti models. They’ve all been on the same FM chassis since 2001, only in the last few years have the newer models been built on newer

Your commuting method of choice should depend on where you live. For the life of me I can’t understand why anyone would want to drive into Boston or NYC every day for work. 

The question about deals on manual transmission cars really depends on the car. if you find a random compact sedan with a manual, and that’s your thing, you can probably get a pretty good deal on it. But a sports car or sports sedan with a manual, probably not.

The difference is is that today uber has no worries about the running costs of all the cars. They have totally offset that onto the drivers, and they don’t need to worry about whether the driver is turning a profit or not. Once they own the cars themselves, making each car profitable becomes important. I could see

The hitch for the ride share companies is that they hide the scope of work and pay for each “job” they give to the drivers

And those generous holy grail western european countries are desperately trying to reduce their social welfare spending - see riots in France over using the retirement age from 62 to 64.

Self driving cars was just a con to get more VC money. If and when self driving cars actually come along (and can go anywhere in any conditions - ha!), sure there will be savings in what they pay drivers, but those savings are offset by the huge capital expenditure for buying millions of cars, and then all the

Yes, this should’ve been at least a top 20 list. So many of the cars on your list really deserve the public shaming.

My point was that paying the extra money to go from the hybrid to the plug in wasn’t worth, because you would never make that money back in gas savings. 

I just checked cars.com. 2017 Fusion Energy plug in hybrid, 30k, no accident for $12,999. Ouch.

This car was class leading - in 2012... And that pretty much sums up all of Ford’s recently departed sedans. The Fiesta, Focus and Fusion all came out at about the same time, and at that time had class leading features. But Ford let them all rot, giving them new grills and not much else since. So of course, now the

Anything west of New York State is the midwest to me, lol. 

What’s with all the midwestern drivers and their insane confidence to drive full speed in snowy and foggy weather?? You don’t hear about massive pileups in the northeast, because people SLOW DOWN.

Cars have gotten much smaller, but trucks are getting ever bigger.

They are eating replicated food that is 100% digestible with no waste. So they don’t need to poo or pee.

I’m not sure the video will be monetized, but surely there will be sweetheart deals with law enforcement just like there are now with the Ring doorbell cameras. How long before we are all walking around in full Burqas to hide from the cameras?

So a little interior 1/2 wall is sturdier than the exterior walls at the airport.

Yet they design slow and hard to use touch screen systems that are hugely distracting, and oversell crash avoidance and self driving features. Yeah, they really care about safety.

Would it really be so hard to have an official spot on the dash for your phone. I mean, it’s 2019 and everyone is still rocking nasty looking window mounts with cords flopping. How about a spot high up on the dash next to the screen with a swappable charging port for the different phone brands.
