"We went head to head and decided that we were going to beat the Fusion on day one," said Chrysler brand president Al Gardner, adding that his team dissected the Ford sedan and set about matching or besting it feature for feature. "We're actually beating Ford at their own game, and I will tell you they are great."

God, those LEDs look like something off a Hyundai. Yuck

Yeah. You'd totally be saying that if you were from her family. Her dad grew up in hells kitchen, came up with basically nothing, and built a multinational business from the ground up. If he wants to provide a high standard of living for his family, I won't begrudge hime that. She's been through a lot of shit,…

Frankly, I hope they find a way to do it. I have two reasons for this: first, convertibles are badass, and second, with no droptop or powertrain updates in the pipeline, it's hard to see sales for the FR-S and BRZ staying consistent and strong as they've been.

Bring it to market looking exactly like that or STFU. I don't care about a futuristic design direction and expressions of your visions unless you're going to put that vision on the road as you displayed it to the public at the car shows. No one wants mediocre, watered down crap, bring it, or go home.

And there is no difference in price at all between those trucks, or any Ram with or without the boxes, in all markets, from all insurance carriers? I sincerely doubt that. If it costs more to fix, it's going to wind up costing more to insure.

New truck with new feature that hasn't been on the roads yet: market and pricing hasn't reacted. Shocking I tell you, just shocking.

Do, you're saying that a higher cost to repair has zero effect on your insurance premium? I think the insurance companies would beg to differ.

The hinges, locks, screws, etc, really anything that has components of a different material or multiple pieces will add to the cost, but I guess it will be good for Dodge. I can't help but wonder what portion of automaker profits come from the sale of original parts to repair wrecked or damaged cars and I imagine…

That doesn't look like it would cause slightly higher insurance premiums because of an increased cost to repair or replace at all!

It also does zero to 60 mph in 7.2 seconds, which is respectable. And Alex says it's quicker immediately off the line than the E92 M3. That's no small feat.

Quick! What two things do you want your luxury sports car to be like? A Cheetah and a jacuzzi? An arsonist and a waterslide? Wrong and wrong. According to Acura, it's a gymnast and a bank vault. And that's the essence of the new TLX prototype.

What, you don't like Orange County Graveyard Cars?

Foldgers in their cup, no car dealerships in their constituency, and enough political power to stifle those politicians that do. In other words, ain't gonna happen.

Well, there is a camera system that can detect alcohol fumes within your car. Cops can look through the viewfinder or screen, see the alcohol fumes in the same way an infra red camera sees heat, and would then be able to pull you over.

My dad sold the old ranger he picked up for use when he was building our house. We bought it from the third or fourth owner. It wasn't the nicest truck ever, but it did the job reliably, and there is a place for a small, inexpensive work truck that's not loaded down with expensive extra features. Those Rangers are…

Well, if their old truck kicked the bucket, then they'll need a new one. Especially if they own their own business (and I know a few people that do, even though I don't exactly hang out with groups of construction workers or landscapers) there are tax advantages to owning a new vehicle and depreciating it over the…

Even real jalops that happen to own a contracting, construction, or landscaping business? I'm not one of them, but a big part of the appeal of small trucks like this is to blue collar folks and construction or landscape oriented professions that don't need or can't afford a full sized pickup.

It is unclear if these Chinese Porsches will be for the Chinese market only.

I want one too, but they'll never build it, stupid crash regulations.
