OOOhhhh, internal combustion BAD, electric Good. That about sums up your stance, correct?

The grille appears to have been in an accident, but it seems it is MADE that way. Perhaps for the radar cruise? Oh well, certainly it looks better in person. Weird purple color though.

Quote from Stockton Rush, the owner and operator of the imploded Titan submersible which killed all on board—

Stupidity is not the exlusive province of the republican party is it? See Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden for just two instances.

Nice write up of your experience with the new Trax. What was your fuel economy for the week you had the car? 

There are NO details in the “Article” about what emissions would be regulated, nor what those limits were proposed. If your mission was to inflame along political lines you weakly scored with this “Article.”  If your mission was to inform people then you failed on every count.

OK, so the track is clean, the cars are spaced out properly why NOT restart the race?  Remember, the race is always at its most dangerous during the start. I watched with horror the terrible pile up in 1973 on the first lap.  Frankly, I think there is nothing to object to. The track was clean, the cars were spaced out

Even if GM never produced another convertible other automakers were still manufacturing them. Of course, at the time they were all foreign manufacturers but only a speculative fool would part with their money on that bet. Two things killed the domestic convertible market.

LOL, yeah, and customers apparently agree with you. Years on after the introduction of the C8 and they STILL line up to get one. I do get that some things were lost along the way, such as the manual trans. But on the whole the C8 is anything but a disappointment.

Looks good, but a 1.2l engine that’s MUCH smaller and less powerful than the China engine? 

So if I self identify as a non white EV buyer I could be eligible for up to 5,027,000 dollars?

Ford was pretty clear on the introduction that the ecoboost was automatic only due to the low take rake. Unless Ford changed their corporate mind I’ll expect the ecoboost to come automatic only.

Isn’t it time for your booster ?

Cell phones will go down quickly in a real emergency. There is a reason a lot of folks are doing sat phones these days. Just because it has worked in the past does not mean it will work in a future that is quickly changing.

Yeah, left wing talk radio has never succeeded. Ideas that don’t work don’t sell....

Kia\Hyundai can do it and GM can’t and Ford raised the price by thousands and dropped the feature? No thanks, we NEED am radio as in an emergency cells might be down and am radio has the ability to travel much longer distances. I vote with my wallet, no am, no sale. 

I commute 100 miles per day, so economy matters to me. I currently am averaging 35mpg on my commute with my old beater car. Kids are pushing me to upgrade, and I’d consider this if the fuel economy is around 25 or so highway.

First I’ve seen of pricing on the new Prius. Not bad for all the new power and much better styling. The upcharge is well worth the extra cost imho. This does likely put the cost of a fairly well equipped plug in model over the 40k range.

Wow, this is an amazing comeback for Prius. Who ever thought we’d actually get to say a Prius was nice looking AND powerful? Details matter, such as pricing, but this is awfully tempting to me.

Try to rely on it for a month or two and THEN we’ll talk. You hit the nail on the head in the article. Parts were a huge issue with these cars, and with their build quality parts were often needed. Let’s be honest, almost all of them were neglected badly from the start due to their low price. Anyone who could afford
