A big part of it is that the MSRPs themselves plummeted. Plus, it’s a large luxury sedan, which has always been the most depreciating market segment. 

Silicon or silicone? Make up your mind - one is a solid mineral, the other is a rubbery compound. Silicon:

Miata is still the answer, but BRZ works if you need/want a hardtop. 

This convinces me to never buy a used car from Ohio. That looks like my 60 year-old Alfa Romeo did when I bought it.

I don’t know about 6'6, but my 6'3 cousin fit in a C6 Corvette no-problem. They seem to do really well for larger drivers compared to most sports cars. Quite the upgrade from a Rio. 

The second gen Model 3 just started shipping in the spring. Its’ not a “new model” and looks similar but there are a lot of changes vs the outgoing Model 3 under the hood.

Except that’s not what DEI is outside of Fox News talking points. Making people from different backgrounds feel included in the workplace is not “pandering.”

While I commend Chevy for releasing the Equinox EV as a separate platform, it’s rather confusing for buyers who would understandably assume one is the gas version of the other.

A car sold in quantities that low might as well not exist. Even the Group B homologation rules required 200. If they are keeping with the stupid hydrogen hybrid, it will be pointless even if you can buy one unless you live in the handful of places in California that have filling stations. 

You think that’s bad? You can get the potentially deadly C. Difficile from touching the drive mode knob. And that’s when you already have an STI!

Don’t forget Vance, Kennedy, Gabbard. The one place they don’t lack for diversity is in the weirdo department.

Late model Jeep Wranglers with lifts, neon headlights, and other gaudy accessories that will only be used for mall-crawling. Sometimes you will see a dozen of Jeeps these lined up at Cars and Coffee.

I don’t think it’s fair to say we’ve gotten “worse.” Apollo had only 11 successful flights (one almost resulted in a total loss), and had one fatal hull loss on the launch pad. So the fatal incident rate was close to 10%, and was nearly 20% if they hadn’t rescued Apollo 13. The Space Shuttle had two hull losses in 135…

The dose makes the poison.

I keep making this comment and Jalopnik keeps ignoring it. The correct headline should be “Ford loses $44k per EV sold.” It sounds like a subtle difference, but it does not falsely imply a marginal loss of $44k on each additional EV. 

I have a build thread on Alfabb “Project GTA-6" in the GT subforum.

They are high maintenance  (belt service ever $30k miles and expensive oil changes), but the horror stories you read about from the reviews were first model year software bugs that are sorted now.

The shock towers aren’t the biggest problem points on these cars. It’s the rockers that cause terminal rust. The rocker is a 3-piece sandwich design, and you can only see one side of the inner rocker and the outer. You can’t see the middle and inside of the inner rocker without a borescope.

I actually own a 1986 Alfa Spider and am in the process of doing a full restoration of a rusty ‘67 GT.

I get the 4th amendment concerns at play here as a general matter, but it’s really, really, really unlikely that a local traffic cop is going to comb through your venmo transactions looking for tax evasion. That’s just a really bad example.
