Or Tesla could not have a lot of on-hand inventory and people can wait a few weeks to get their car. I really hope that kind of model catches on as it will allow people to order exactly what they want and without the added cost of maintaining on-hand inventory.

Yes, but no modern BWM could be considered light, which is what the author is claiming.

So it's going to be shorter? I really hope that doesn't translate to less leg/arm room, because they are already too small for us taller than average folk. On the other hand, if it can have more torque than the FR-S and weigh less, then it should be a winner.

Dude, I like the Miata too, but there's not need to be a dick about it. Bubblebutt doesn't have to like it either and is under no obligation explain his reasons to you.

Headlights go up, headlights go down, you can't explain that.

First of all, this article comes across as pretty sexist. Why is the author only concerned about how women feel about these images? And for that matter, why does it matter which gender the employees are? The fact that the author decided to repeatedly mention gender, when a normal article (i.e. not on Jezebel) would…

MZKT? Is that Lincoln's new crossover?

So how does this compare to wearing high quality riding armour? It may dull the impact a bit, but in a severe crash wouldn't a rigid spine brace (etc) be better? Maybe this system incorporates that as well, though it would be pretty bulky.

I am disappoint.

To each their own I guess. I only drove stick until my most recent car that I bought about a year ago and I really regret getting an auto. It is so boring driving everywhere. I end up speeding far more often. There is really no upside. I actually like my current car other than the auto, but am going to sell it…

Or 400 $5k Miatas. Although if you try to buy 400 of them you might drive the price up a bit.

Some automaker definitely needs to make a new 'Kitten' model. Fiat should have named the 500 The Kitten instead. Even cuter than Panda.

If I recall correctly (no wikipedia), he went to high-school (and university?) in Switzerland. So he lived there for a bunch of years. Didn't really have any friends though.

There are probably some pretty restrictive import laws on NK subs too. Imagine the paperwork...

Alaska wasn't a state until 1958? Huh, did not know that. Should still probably be a part of Canada.

The thing about long term reliability (10+ years / 100,000+ miles) is that you really can only go by past performance as an indicator. So modern Fords may be reliable, but we won't really know, so we have to base our assumptions on Fords of 10+ years ago, which is not a good thing for Ford. GM and Chrysler still…

Lifting a truck and not off-roading it is just awful. It's posing AND it actually performs worse on-road.

To be fair, they are probably still shady as hell with no moral qualms about fleecing you. They just want to make sure that their employees don't get jaded and quit.

He owns a car dealership? Not enough royalty cheques from Star Wars, Indiana Jones, etc?
