Exactly. The hybrid powertrain being discussed (EREV) is not really anything new. We’ve been doing that with trains for a long time, and it works well. I think for applications like towing heavy loads, emergency response, search & rescue, or for people living/working in very remote areas or in extreme climates the…

I think for vehicles like the Scout, which are marketed heavily towards the “get out there and explore the world” off road sentiment, buyers are more likely to have concerns about range than for something like a commuter car. There aren’t many places to charge out in “the wilderness”. It doesn’t matter that in…

The production version of the Halycon is going to be a Charger EV with some design elements from the Halycon mixed in. It shouldn’t take Chrysler this long to get that out the door. All the “yes, we will”, “no, we won’t” on the Airflow concept from a few years ago, and how they were now “moving in a different…

I think that one was not tested, and therefore omitted from the list. They only include cars they actually tested themselves. 

I think the biggest issue with the new Prius isn’t even the loss of cargo space. It’s the loss of headroom and the odd placement of the gauge cluster that ends up being blocked by the steering wheel. Toyota offers a heads up display on other models, why not use that on the Prius instead of placing the gauge cluster…

Porsche cranking up the pricing big time for 2025. The GT3 MSRP went up $38k (with minimal changes) for 2025 and now starts at $222k. Now the 911 S is moving up $34k for 2025. 

With the exception of a few shows (like Throttle House), YouTube content has gone very much down to the lowest common denominator.

Do elected representatives accept campaign contributions from those companies? Do elected representatives trade stocks in these companies? No conspiracy theory here; that is what one would call a “conflict of interest”. But when your code of ethics has no teeth and relies entirely on self disclosure, self policing, and…

I’m sure it’s relatively space efficient with that design, but I’m not completely in love with the looks. I will give Honda credit at least for taking advantage of the design flexibility offered by an EV power train. But I agree with the other comments that said this basically looks like a smooth Cybertruck. It being…

Not surprising in the least to anyone who has been paying attention to privacy laws and protections. It isn’t just car companies, it’s every company trying to do this. Our government has failed for decades to enact legislation to protect individual privacy because there is a lot of money that can potentially be made…

I want to say that we have seen similar things when solar reflections from glass (cars or buildings) or other mirror-like surfaces concentrate the energy from the sun in a particular spot. Wasn’t there a story about a car mysteriously melting in an office parking lot, and they later found out that the glass from the…

Come on, be honest. You aren’t only using it on “leg day”.

True. These “tests” seem hellbent on destroy the vehicles.

I have the sense that the “Let them fight!” gif from that Godzilla movie is going to be used an awful lot in the coming 4 years.

I’m not trying to pick on you, but there is a certain irony in the fact that you are going to the gym but then won’t walk the 40 paces to your car in the parking lot when you are leaving.

Oh, you’re one of those; someone who thinks that an inanimate material possession is automatically a tool for overcompensating a physical shortcoming. Sorry, can’t help you with that.

I mean apparently there is “Chad” and “Chad”, where one is good and one is bad. So I only assumed the same about “Kyle” and “Kyle”.

I can understand people not knowing that Mazda cancelled the MX-30, as it was only really sold in California for the U.S. market. The Lincoln Continental though, my guess is they just forgot it already died; just like many people forgot it even existed. 

As much as I’ve always liked the 300, I agree with this take. Chrysler was left out the vine to rot for too long. Chrysler is Lancia now, limping along with one model that only really appeals to a specific group of buyers. When Stellantis was formed there was an opportunity to inject new life into Chrysler by bringing…

What about performance cars? Are those not allowed in your vision for 2025?
