This is funny. My boss gave me the exact same explanation for why he bought a SUV rather than a car (married, no kids and drive only himself around 90% of the time). It's only $3000 a year he said, but I ask for a raise that that comes to roughly another $3000 a year and suddenly that 3k is big deal! I guess it's all…

Here is a page from a book published in 1909 showing a range of electric vehicles with lead acid batteries, and claiming a range of 30 miles. It sure took a long time for battery technology to advance. Still I'd probably take any one of these over cars listed above.

Trying to win a race in a Camry is like trying to hammer in a nail with a pillow.

I like the story. I use to live in the remote northern California town and Mendocino, and commute to the bay area (200 miles one way), and I did the commute in cars built in 1975 of earlier for years. There was one Friday night I was trying to get home in my 1973 Datsun 240Z. It was one of those winter days in Norther…

You've got a point there.

"As sad as it is to say it, we'll probably get to a point where a computer is faster around a race track than a human, if we're not there already. You might just hear your kids say "yeah, Senna was great, but my new iPhone 27S is better.""

I was starting to think a sense of humor was lacking in the Middle East. If you want people to help spread your message humor is one of the best forms of protest, as nothing spreads faster than a good joke.

The complexity and extra weight of two drivetrains is an issue for me. It's just more things to go wrong. There is little if anything about a Prius that I could like. Build a hybrid that's light, agile, has a manual transmission, efficient, and reasonably powerful, and fun to drive, and I'll think about it, but the…

Don't forget this guy:

Am I the only one that is hoping we get an Americanized version of the AWD fiat panda? Might not fly as a Jeep to tell the truth.

I remember back in the 70s people competing in high school to have loudest car stereo. I guess this the natural progression. I hate to see how the next generation is going to one-up this one. We're going to need something more capable of moving air than just a synthetic cone. Maybe pistons of some kind, or rapid…

This is what passes for must these days? Turn that damn thing down, an get the hell off my lawn!

Wouldn't you expect an auto journalist to put a car through its paces? It's kinda their job to see what a car can do, and a car that's built to go fast should be driven fast to make sure it can do what's it's advertised to do. I don't see a problem here.

I drive a manual, and the truth is after a while shifting becomes second nature; you don't have to think much about it if you do it all the time. No one ever asks to borrow your car. Even thieves avoid your car. I live in a house with my wife and two grown kids, several cars, and my car is the only car that only gets…

Who is to blame? People that believe stuff like this: "I'm not an old school guy. I love double clutch gearboxes and I think they're the way of the future. "

Because the only way to improve a sports car it add more doors and more weight?

From back in the day when the only people that bought trucks were people that actually needed trucks.

I know that crazy designs are Lamborghini's thing, but this looks like it was made for a Batman movie.

I have to agree with you on this one.
