I’ve never sat in a Volt or a Bolt, so I’ll have to take your word for it. The Bolt looks appealingly tall, but it has very limited cargo volume.

Try out the Kia Niro. It’s a little bigger inside than those. I quite liked it when I drove it. Still not AWD though.

Yeah, but that’s the Honda Accord - almost every generation of Accord versus Camry, has been sharper to drive, with better transmissions, better handling, better throttle response, even though it’s not as good as it used to be. It’s not about dorky, it’s about the sensations that make up “a little sporty” and how…

One may think that, but historically it wasn’t true. Back when company housing and company stores with company credit were around, “customers” were locked in so thoroughly that they couldn’t think of uprooting, which large companies used to extract as much work as possible for as cheaply as possible. And it’s…

I couldn’t disagree more with everything you’ve said, but thanks for giving me something to respond to!

Boy that looks fantastic. Hyundai’s old angular cars looked decent to me before the 90s jelly bean fad, but I never thought that Hyundai would ever go retro- people didn’t like them back in the day, they weren’t well-made, and the depreciation was dreadful.

I haven’t followed Steven King’s career that closely, I just know some of the most popular works.

Wow, you just blew my mind with this.

Looks gorgeous, but I’m truly disappointed in Porsche deciding that the word “Turbo” is just a performance brand. When applied to cars as a trim level, without exception, it has historically meant that the vehicle has a turbocharger.

5) Guess how much it’s going to cost, because apparently that’s how paying in advance works?

Hey, I give them props for doing something. Japan’s declining birthrate has been a thing for 2-3 decades now.

I think that’s scummy AF, even though I’m actually pretty neutral towards dealers, unlike most people that hate them to death. I used to work for Reynolds & Reynolds and I worked with dealer software; I understand them more than most of the public.

Let’s not forget Once Upon a Time in America! Leone is up there with Scorsese IMO.

The fact that she was frustrated enough to consider buying a new car just for one simple issue is not an advantage to take. You may get a few new car buyers that way, but if your service department’s MO is to ignore basic  problems just to frustrate owners enough to trade up, you’ll just lose both service customers…

I saw this before, what a weird video. Which employees saw this in training? Clearly this can’t have been for external consumption.

Yes, I don’t mean to be unfair to the writers- it’s a good thing that they store voluminous information covering news releases, engineering details, history, and the relative cultural perspective of some of the old cars. I think the quality of the writing is usually pretty good, which is why I go there to learn…

I’m using “slapdash” as shorthand for the very real effects of cars being of poor quality due to bad design and assembly, which you can choose to blame on their boneheaded management, icy labor relations, troubled times, or whatever.

Ah yes, Austin Rover online... as soon as I saw the detailed writing replete with pictures of an arcane variant of a BL car, who else could it be? From the most slapdash British automaker springs the most fastidious British car fans.

This is a FANTASTIC idea. I would binge the hell out of that show.

Skip every scene with Potts and his kids and it’s not bad. I really like the way Goldfinger and his wife chew the scenery, while Grandpa and the bumbling Vulgarian spies were hilarious.
