While this is true, what is your point in relation to the article? Are you in favor of the unfettered capitalism (free trade) that would give us cheap Chinese cars. Or are you in favor of the tariffs (government intervention in industry is largely viewed as anti-capitalist) which would protect American workers from…

The other advantages China has are...

1st Gear: If anyone wants wants to read a good breakdown of the issue...

I like the wheel also (2021 Mazda 6). Has advantages/disadvantages relative to a touchscreen. To me its a wash. Gets laggy with CarPlay sometimes but that isn’t the wheel’s fault.

My parents 1998 Chevy Lumina had crank windows (remember those) that would pinch the shit out of your hands if you weren’t ultra careful. You could very easily getting the skin between your thumb and index finger into where the knob rotated on the crank. My hands hurt just thinking about it. And it was just such an…

Fuel cells actually start making sense for heavy commercial vehicles.

True. I was just angry because I wish they had this (and of course iPads) when I was a kid. I would have loved to have read on trips, but couldn’t or severe nausea would set in. Weirdly I would never vomit.

CX-50 has a 6 speed auto.

You know people use their phones or tablets for things other than social media, right? They have these thing called e-books now...maybe you have heard of them.

Senior year in college and for my physics degree we need to do some sort of thesis project. Small college so not a ton of resources, but another student was going to build a small wind tunnel 1st semester. So I am like great, I will design something that uses the wind tunnel 2nd semester (I needed to do my project 2nd…

You’re right. Generally a whole group of people. ‘Hardball’ always springs to mind first.

Where is everyone on the chances this earns a spot on this list...

Don’t bother looking this up because of course it is true. Why do you think they recommend that children sit in rear facing car seats as long as possible?

I have a Mazda 6 Grand Touring which is basically the Carbon trim. One thing I have to say is that putting on a set of half-way decent tires makes a huge difference over the OE tires. Once the OE tires were done on mine, I put on a set of Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus (still all-seasons) and the difference in…

Yes. They really need a different name for the eCVT. Yes, it is a continuously variable transmission, but it is just so different from regular CVTs that it should have a completely different name.

I always forget ‘A Few Good Men’ in my lists of favorite movies.

How I feel about the aesthetics of these varies from day-to-day. Yet I am 100% thrilled that they exist.

What about something you like, but yet don’t respect? Both musical artist and car.

Yeah I was telling a co-worker about these and specifically in regards to...

Yeah I have one that I wouldn’t define as a ‘road trip’ since it was just like 3-4 hours away and just over a weekend. There were many problems with this trip (that I don’t have time to go into), but the biggest was that I was the only non-smoker (cigarettes) among a group of ~7. It rained most of the time, which…
