I’m not going to tell someone what to do with their vehicle. If they prefer a certain approach, and that approach includes a touch screen, have at it.

Because for a vast majority of the population, THEY ARE GOOD ENOUGH. Toyota is banking on people realizing this and since they already know how to make hybrids really well, they are just biding their time rather than spending ungodly amounts of money on the latest hot thing to grab simple minded shareholder’s and…

The Liberty Walk is worth it just for the knowledge that the Ferraristi elite must be absolutely beside themselves in exceptional outrage. Chianti flung everywhere. Armani suits rent into scraps of fabric and tears.

Can you imagine all of the issues that will pop up once you start driving that thing? With all of the old fluids and dried seals?

I don’t get it, either.

This is a bummer of a car. It’s too nice to restomod, and too crappy to enjoy as as-is. Stick it in a museum, I guess.

Counterpoint: These are better as an art piece than an actual vehicle. There is a saying that “old cars become valuable when they become so pretty that you forget how bad they were” - this car is valuable for that reason, but they are still really crappy cars.

Considering Rivian was able to manufacture 25k vehicles in their first year is seriously impressive. The product has been getting great reviews, they have that 100k order from Amazon. Seems like the initial stock price was too high - but they seem like they are on the right track as a company (mostly).

*leans in real close*

A Land Cruiser running over a cyclist would probably play pretty well in America, just not for the reason these activists think. 

Inevitably, anytime an article like this gets written, the heartless assholes love to crawl out of the woodwork saying things like, “If anyone’s dumb enough to take out one of these loans, they deserve what they get.” As if everyone is born with an 800 credit score and knows what an index fund is. But the picture…

Here’s a 2012 X-Terra in northern Ohio for $15,000. It has right around 100,000 miles, but these are sturdy trucks and it’s not like a 10 mile commute will wear it out soon. You can get pretty much anywhere in Michigan with an X-Terra. It would make a great base for an overlanding rig too if you decide to give that a…

Or get a Mazda5 minivan with a manual.

According to rumor, Dodge will do something similar for their E-Charger, so I can see HD adding ‘potato’ speakers on their e-bikes.

My old boss had a Harley and a wardrobe full of H-D clothing, boots, gloves, etc. She was complaining about how she needed new boots and how expensive they were to replace. I joked that it costs a lot of money to make sure everybody knows you have a Harley. 

or.... how about you make some motorcycles that are in the affordable range so new riders can get into the brand?

Harley’s cheapest new motorcycle is OVER 2X the cost of its competitors. I had no idea chrome and leather tassels cost so much.

Schwinn, Craftsman, and so many others. 

“A storied, truly American company that our kids will know only as a vestige of American automotive history. The logo will appear on electric scooters and bicycles made in China and sold in Wal-Mart.”

I feel like they’ve said this before, then changed their mind, then said it again, then changed their mind. It’s like they know they NEED to do it but fail time and time again. They’re so committed to their old consumer base that they will die with them (literally).

If you look at the past 120 years, the company has always evolved, never stood still
