In NYC to turn left you must wait in the middle of the intersection until the light turns yellow, then 5 more cars coming the other way go through, then the light turns red and 3 more cars go through, then it is your turn to calmly turn left.

I respectfully propose a ceasefire on Mustang Mach E articles. 

Love the look, love the power. The problem is its designed for niche fanbase that insists on manual transmissions but they omitted it because the majority of the market wants automatic. The venn diagram doesn’t line up.  

Everyone please stop blaming this one on Millennials. I’m a millennial and this should be blamed squarely on dumb marketing presentations explaining “what millennials want” but actually will be bought exclusively by Boomers with bad backs who can’t deal with bucket seats anymore. 

Amen. All the response to our hatred of this thing has been “it’s not a big deal.” Which is true, nothing related to cars is a big deal. But I still think we should be free to hate this car and all the shitty trends it stands for.  Not because it’s electric, because it’s a stupid fashion accessory for people who want

That honestly seems quite inexpensive for the amount of detail and hours of work. 

It just seems like the strongest part of their brand identity and they’re gambling with it.  When Porsche gambled and made their first SUV they didn’t name it the 911 Mach.  It’s a big branding risk for almost zero reward. 

The main reason I want an autonomous car is to not travel on my city’s god awful public transit everyday.  

Is nothing sacred?

Just change that awful logo and I’m on board. It’s not brand snobbery, it’s logo snobbery that keeps me away. It looks like the brand logo of a cartoon robot.

welp. we’re done. pack it in. 

It bothers me so much that the windshield and hood are on different angles but so close to a straight line.

This period of interior design in cars is so tragic. 

I feel like the Veloster N is the right balance between the luxurious Mazda 3 and the bonkers Honda Civic Type R.  The Veloster falls right in the middle, sorta in the middle of price too.

Only gearheads appreciate the Supra mark, gearheads only want manuals. 

how much per person? I’d kick in 19 bucks. 

I mean I think our crowd is all a bit interested. Personally I would immediately order one (not just metaphorically). But if I were in charge of Honda strategy I’d do what they did. I’d launch in Europe and Asia first. Give it a few years, If it does well there, then consider US market once you can work out a longer

Wheels are too small

I always want the yaris to be good.  It’s never quite worked out, but I love a small japanese hatch.
