This is true. GM also has excellent air conditioning and some very good conventional automatic transmissions. They still innovate occasionally but at some point they shifted from being led by engineers like Ed Cole to accountants like Thomas Murphy. Nobody wants a car built to the lowest cost level of style and…

The Pontiac Phoenix is solely responsible for two generations of my family buying Hondas and Toyotas. It is hard to overstate just how badly 80s/90s GM was managed.
Question: would GM have made better cars if they were not located in Michigan where cars were expected to have a short life and ugly death?

What’s worse than the Gaffney Peach? People who copied the Gaffney Peach!

In other news, the QAnon edition Silverado has been canceled.

As the Fords were moving in... "Pat, have you seen Checkers? Oh well just leave him in the White House for Gerald."

No one is going to like filling out a government survey to determine their taxes, and people lie. The only true solution is to encourage efficient vehicles. If your life choices (job, hobby, family size) require a larger vehicle, you just have to pay for your impact on the environment.

The only true all-terrain vehicle - a rental car!

True. The rulemakers tried not to make value judgments and penalize large vehicles because some people actually need them for work, large families, hobbies, etc. They assumed people would buy the smallest vehicle that they need. In fact they buy the largest vehicle they can almost afford.

The Williams family’s suburban home had an unfortunate insect infestation. Fortunately their Country Squire was a convenient gathering spot for the 3 day tenting procedure.

I don’t cruise but I do travel. Giant cruise ship disgorging thousands of tourist locusts for 4 hour feeding frenzies has destroyed beautiful places such as Venice, the Greek Isles, and coastal Mexico. Just make it stop.

CAFE is being used to manage air pollution, safety, consumer transparency, and now climate change. There are better solutions for all of those problems individually but like most political compromises, CAFE is messy, stupid, and the best we can get.

I’m all in for Mr. Fusion.

For only $600 per month, you can drive a rental car... EVERY SINGLE DAY.
Isn’t that Dante’s 4th level of Hell?

Alternate Take: Amazing Tesla detects and warns driver of impending crash! 40 crucial seconds provided to save lives.

I gotta say that is a funny gag... for about 30 seconds. Then you want to quickly hide it from the world.

Old cars are about the places you can go, the people you can meet, and the experiences you have along the way. This is good Jalopnik. Keep it up and enjoy your journey.

Boston Dynamics is a fantastic demo company. Spot should come with capabilities such as “go to a gps point” while automatically traversing or avoiding anything in its path. It should be as easily trainable as a drone. But it isn’t.

That thing is so cool I’m dubbing it the ChangLuna.

For the presidency, I would support a Constitutional amendment to eliminate the electoral college because one person one vote is appropriate for the leader of the country. I would not change the Senate and would even change it back to election by the state legislators. It is designed to be a brake on the tyranny of…

We already make electricity. It is absurd to use it to create hydrogen and then covert it back to electricity for transportation.
