Definitely a supercar. Not a conventional supercar, but still a supercar.

MX-5 Miata = sports car.

You have to consider how many people outside BosWash (the one place where it makes a lot sense) would actually ride it, though. The Feds aren’t going to take a bath on HSR when so many other pressing budget needs exist, and I can’t see many states taking huge risks either. The lines need enough ridership to not become…

Without going into too many details, I saw an internal cost-benefit analysis prepared for the Federal Rail Admin during the early Obama admin years, right when the administration was hyping up high speed rail as a good use of economic stimulus dollars. Almost every proposed route outside BosWash would hemorrhage…

Pour one out for the SRT4! Ridiculous Viper-meets-subcompact styling, boosty engine, seriously quick for its price point at the time, and zero mufflers to be found anywhere! It was everything my idiot high school self wanted in a first car (parents said no, of course).

Nah, we won’t get used to that mug. It’s just plain bad. BMW needs to kill the Bugs Bunny grille yesterday.

*zips up flame suit*

Don’t see why people are disappointed by this. It’s a Model 3 fastback crossover, just like Model X was a Model S fastback crossover. It’s exactly what everyone thought it would be, and exactly what Tesla needs to grow its business (assuming they can mass-produce it with high quality - which is a significant…

I can’t think of another brand with the same combination of incredible heritage and bizarre unwillingness to take advantage of it.

4.1% mortality rate directly due to the PE, 7.2% within 30 days according to this study: https://erj.ersjournals.com/content/early/2016/05/12/13993003.00024-2016

Hmmm. Negative on the minivan, unless you can seize your woman’s car and get her to DD the van. The Odyssey is brilliant at what it is intended to do. Fun to drive is not one of those things.

Meh. Half the people bitching about this probably vape.

1st Gear: Tesla is the Trump Administration of carmakers. Unconventional, sometimes brilliant, sometimes idiotic, usually controversial, led be a guy whose most unique skill might be stirring up the media to rouse his supporters, and dropping a fresh bomb on the news cycle often enough to make our collective…

The adoption of autonomy has to be organic IMHO. That’s where I think so many advocates for it are getting things wrong.

Sound and sensation are huge reasons people buy sports cars. The 718's 4-banger doesn’t sound like a proper Porsche engine, it sounds like someone farting into a bullhorn.

The embarrassing part about the C8 isn’t the chassis issues (which sources for Autoblog and others claim have been resolved) or the engineering squabbles involved in the electronics revamp. 

His explanation doesn’t stack up. Mitsubishi has always built SUVs, even if they were a little late to the game with carlike crossovers.

Agreed, their cars weren’t half bad. The CTS was/is pretty outstanding, and the ATS was very competitive when it came out (though they let it linger too long without meaningful updates). The CT6 was 90% there, but needed to go to finishing school. Their biggest problems were failing to capitalize on demand for luxury…

Johan de Nysschen: “I’ll move from Audi to Infiniti. I’ll turbocharge Infiniti sales by using Audi’s naming, marketing, and branding approach (without much improving a flawed product). Luxury car buyers car more about branding and prestige than the actual car anyway, so its bound to work”.

Agreed. IMHO the only single payer model realistic for the USA is a plan covering catastrophic / major medical / high cost chronic disease coverage, with Americans encouraged to save for the rest by a combo of huge health savings accounts and indigent support for the poor. This would cover everyone but introduce some…
