I agree with ranwhenparked about ‘bumper creep’ and about the smart integration of the MkIV Golf’s cut line into the design, but I’ll always be fond of the MkIII Golf when a bumper was still just a bumper...

You are correct, but the parents are still ridiculous. The kids in a newer Honda Fit with good rear facing child seats are in no significant danger.

Setting aside your point, there is also the fact that the Honda Fit is a perfectly reasonable and safe family car. It’s not like she is driving an old Dodge Omni.

Ugh, I get so tired of the “safe for children” stuff.

Ugh, I get so tired of the “safe for children” stuff. I get that it’s a selling point and all that, but safe driving habits will go further toward keeping you safe than driving around in a tank carelessly. Stay off your phone, keeps your eyes up and scanning your surroundings, and stay engaged while driving. That…

...per General Motors, the Regal will keep on being be sold in China...

Damn. It’s a car I would have, almost, maybe considered, possibly buying.

1. There’s tons of good lucking trucks.

Those two bumpkins are Mel Tillis (country singer) and Terry Bradshaw (former NFL player).

Looks matter in every single physical thing we buy. The Cybertruck seems to have been designed with the intent to pare the shape down to the absolute minimum complexity. While it may have succeeded at that, it’s so so very ugly. It looks to me like it was designed by an untalented 12 year old. 

Design team had to dial it back from this.

Nothing like a post-apocalypse-mobile that has to find a place to charge every few hundred miles.

I wouldn’t worry about it too much. The CyberTruck is just what happens when a company is panicking and in various stages of chaos, and needs to jump start the news cycle to keep the stock price up. I love some of what Tesla has done, but the place is run by a delusional fantasist who seems to be entering the Berlin…

Remember when Leonard Nimoy pandered the “next ice age is coming” on In Search Of in the 70's?

temperatures are expected to instead rise 3.2C (37.8F)

This is why we need copy editors.

Ok, keep strip mining the earth for the precious metals needed for battery production. You don’t get something from nothing.

The United States leads the world in the reduction of carbon emissions. The United States could go to zero emissions tomorrow, and it won’t do dick, as China and other large emitters are increasing their emissions with no end in sight.
That’s not to say we can’t continue on our downward trend, but this constant…

Someone did the wrong conversion, 3.2C increase would be 5.76 F increase, not 34.7 F lol.

So commuter cars make up 17% of America’s emissions? That’s not that bad actually.
