And the irony of course is that often times the most successful ideas are the ones that are new and “out of the box”. That’s why they got everyone’s attention in the first place (including the investors). 

Unpopular opinion, but F1 needs a total reset. It’s not just the drivers, it’s the entire organization and leadership team.

The 2025 has quite a few upgrades over the earlier Taycans, but I personally don’t like the look of cosmetic refresh (or the price hike). That said, they don’t seem to hold their value that well (as seems to be the case for most luxury EVs); so there are good deals to be had on the CPO lot. Just be aware that there is…

As someone who is about to “join the club”, I’m not planning on joining any clubs; if that makes some sense. Let’s just say that I’m not the stereotypical Corvette owner. 

What in the GenX is this crap? I mean who else would come up with a cry for attention like this? <ducks>

My neighbor has one that he picked up because they were putting $20k in cash on the hood (so it was priced just like an X5 M). 

Odd that BMW felt the need to make an official statement about this story, and in doing so stating that they don’t talk about future products. 

Yup… still waiting

One thing I haven’t really seen anyone talk about regarding this new VW/Rivian partnership is Rivian’s cargo van. That is an awesome platform for utility vehicles. In Europe and other markets vans (not trucks) are the primary utility vehicles and VW sells a lot of vans worldwide. I think VW could benefit greatly from…

I think this is also a bigger win for VW than many have acknowledged. For a large company, VW has struggled with bringing their EV tech to the consumer in a user friendly manner; which is where Rivian has succeeded (albeit not profitably). So I do think this could pan out to be a partnership that benefits both. Let’s…

But only after you provide your credit card information so they can bill you for the annual subscription once that first year is up. 

Agreed. Miata > Fiata any day of the week and twice in Sunday. 

That rear end looks more “Sky” than “Soltice” to me (specifically the Opel GT variant of the Sky)… but on the whole the design is a little awkward looking; especially the front end.

What Pontiac should have built was a production version of the Holden Coupe 60 concept:

As a Virgo, I strongly second this opinion. You meant well, but generic luxury SUV isn’t how Virgos roll. I too would rather the ultra short range EV with quirky doors and a cork interior.

Not surprised to hear they are pulling the plug on the XM without a follow up (pardon the unintentional pun). I am however surprised to hear they are bringing back the 6 series. I thought it was a mistake when BMW killed the 6 series for the basically-the-same-but-more-expensive 8 series. Let’s see what happens with…

I agree that the GR86 could stand to use a little more “oomph”, or even that it could benefit from dropping the boxer engine; but AWD?

Took my dad down to the local GM dealer to take a peek at a C8. Sitting next to the C8 in the showroom was a new Silverado 2500 (my dad owned one about 15 years ago). My dad (6 ft tall) stood in front of the truck, looked at me and said: “how do they see a kid playing in the street?” I flatly replied: “they don’t.” 

Feels like FedEx does a better job of handling expensive packages. Maybe they should get into the car shipping game. 

Hey don’t feel bad; no Bugatti for me either. Instead of a hybrid V16, I’m “settling” for a 5.5L flat crank V8. 😬
