It’s also mind blowing that the few previous hybrid offerings they’ve had over the years haven’t been more popular.  Were they bad?  Were they hard to get? What the heck happened?  I see the rare Crosstrek hybrid and to me, it seems like they should be a slam dunk to most Crosstrek buyers.

It did change their identity. Just look at the Forester and Outback to see that. They were very clearly much more “car” like, and while actual dimensions haven’t shifted that much, they are now much more SUV like. When the Forester when from the SG to the SH (2nd gen to 3rd gen) it’s obvious that it went from looking…

What brands/models give you a free home charger?

Even with EV’s that have resistive cabin heating get near instant heat. Don’t most of them have the capabilities to remote “start” them and thus start warming the cabin, all while still pulling power from the grid instead of the battery?

What stats do I need? For the first point, I’m saying my reason to want to go after the tuner/cheats isn’t about the impact on the environment. No stat necessary.

1) It’s not about overall impact on the environment

Great.  Now start cracking down on individual owners that tune their vehicles and violate emissions regulations on public roads.

They do plenty of writing.  They just don’t do anything thinking around here.

Booo, hisss. You can’t use such a shit example and act like they are all like that. Fiero kits are entirely dependant to each specific kit and build.

The back tends to do worse in side impact tests, and also they don’t have air bags in front of them.  Probably can’t make a clear call since actual outcomes are highly variable since crashes aren’t exactly the same like all safety tests are, so each scenario is highly variable.

“Should we include include a picture of the old logo that we are referencing?”

Any number of things. Calling it a factory error is entirely premature.

I agree it’s probably a factory error given that it’s on others, but I’m not writing articles and posting them on the internet. I’d probably wait for whatever the FAA and/or NTSB says before I go making guessing like that as if I were some sort of authoritative figure.

But that doesn’t make a nice and misleading acronym/initialism.

That’s most car buyers.

Yep. If complete platform revisions somehow don’t count as “new” vehicles, why isn’t the Frontier on this list? I can’t imagine the D40 is all that different from the D41, as the LD is from the LX.

Ain’t the E-Series only available as a cut-away now?  Not that it would disqualify it from the list, but that’s a pretty damn niche vehicle.

Opportunities to vote someone out and term limits aren’t even close to the same thing.

I’m not against a 70 mph test. I’m against expecting the 70mph range to be the same as the EPA range. 100% isn’t the goal here since the EPA range is not a 70mph test.

I think your comment proves my statement more than anything. In one scenario, you are ~13% beyond EPA range, in the other you are ~10% below EPA range.
