Bunch of little red flags adding up to a big one. Here’s another: What’s the real reason for the respray? Might it be after a shunt that caused the rear passenger side door to “fit” like that? Or was it that way from the factory? So many questions. ND.

Nice that they used normal-sized humans, but it undermines the “comfortable” claim. The dude’s knee is almost wedged between the front seats, and he looks like he’s pondering his escape.

Ah yes, the rare TLDR Edition.

Found the most important part of the ad.

I’ll give an example that just happened this morning. I was heading into Newark Airport in the middle of three lanes. The left lane was wide open except for an approaching Taurus several hundred feet back. As I started to make my move, I checked again and realized the Taurus was closing INSANELY fast. I quickly…

It may get better and better at reading physical surroundings, but the inconsistencies in a deteriorated road network will continue to be a challenge. And a system based solely on cameras will never learn to read the intentions of other drivers, or how traffic conditions in the moment affect the approach to planning…

Living the nightmare right now. My son was driving at time bomb, a 15-year-old Legacy that would never pass inspection, and he needed to replace it quickly. We all know the state of the market. Car were moving faster than we could get to look at them. So when a ’14 Focus popped up on a dealer lot, we had to go for it…

Underappreciated comment.

Imagine being the Acadia driver in your airbag cocoon, only able to see sky out the windshield.

Hadn’t thought of that, I was wondering why it took them so long to stop. I freely confess I wouldn’t have had the presence of mind.

Love the look, love that it has a functioning liftgate, but way too rough for $13K.

I hope they used the winch to get it onto the flatbed, too.

That T1000 commercial looks like it was made in the local high school’s TV production studio. Except the high school students would have written a more creative script.

Tangential observation, I rent a pickup about once every 3-4 years, so I get to drop in periodically in the slow escalation of...everything in pickup world. I rented a Silverado this past weekend, and the forward visibility was borderline scary. I’m almost 5'11'’, and I felt like I was peering over a very thick wall…

I think it’s partly a packaging problem, especially in smaller vehicles, because people also expect at least two cupholders between the seats. My CX-3 has two cupholders and an armrest, and the whole thing is a mess. When the armrest is in position, it’s directly over the cupholders. And while it’s marginally wide…

This is the post-acceleration photo, silly.

“...not actively on fire. Of course, based on what we now know...”

“As a cost-saving measure, we’ll be making our own pencils from now on. Start here.”

Mechanic school, eh? I’ll learn from my own mistakes, thank you.

Old Signora Romano should have stopped driving years ago. But the team was always kind when she got confused and found herself on the track yet again, which happened a couple of times a week.
