Austin? Well there’s your problem. Why wasn’t it New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Seattle (that’s a no brainer!) or just about any city with actual sharing cultures in place or where its prohibitively expensive to own a car?

No, that was a training Hellfire missile. Had no components in it that would pose technological security risks. The dimensions and configurations of Hellfires are largely know to engineers, but its the tech inside that is of the most importance.

So if that is the case there is no real cost savings (except over a really high mileage basis) between the the Ecoboost and V8. Which is why I hate the fuel savings rhetoric. Sure you save in fuel volume, but you are not really saving in dollars unless premium is pegged at closer rate to 89 octane. There is the whole

True, though I’d like to see real word numbers and not just mpg stats. Would be interesting to see the same driver do a week in both cars and see how much they have spent on fuel. The V8 has the torque for lazy passing while the Eco would probably have to drop a gear to pass. I really just want to know from a fuel

I know there is greater efficiency with the EcoBoost, but has anyone run the numbers to see if you actually get dollar savings of the Premium fueled EcoBoost vs. the Regular fueled V8? I’ve run basic numbers (with Canadian fuel prices) and it essentially comes out as a wash for dollars spent. The EcoBoost does get

I’m more concerned about this possible theory: Under bankruptcy protection the current owners have limited say in who buys Gawker Media (well they could say no and tank the whole enterprise). Peter Thiel in theory could purchase Gawker and finally do what he wanted since 2007, kill Gawker Media. $100 million price tag

He does make references to what Clarkson would do if he was there! haha

Now playing

The track changes was the one of the worst...worst worst! parts of the rebooted show. That and fact that the commentary around the drivers on the new track would put anyone to sleep.

Its time to bring back more ‘car-body’ trucks!

The part I don’t get is if you’re shelling out $71,000 to just get the base model, whats an extra $3000? We’re literally talking about an extra $60/month on 5 year financing. So I really don’t understand how you market the cheaper car?

Ok?

Devils advocate, how does law enforcement NOT have the ability to take control, ie pull you over and have you exit the car? Sure in the future the police could do all sorts of iRobotesque takeover, but even today how are you not at the mercy of when law enforcement wants control?

Now playing

Telsa has already proposed it... and nixed it

You do know Evan’s had a massive breakdown in the past, right? He’s been a very difficult and polarizing host (far far more than Clarkson ever was). He’s literally where he is to appease any public outcry... he’s far more loved (and reviled) than Clarkson ever was.

Gotta live in Quebec, no front license plate rules

Ugh, this always goes around in circles. The MQB platform (the structural chassis), being the cheapest of the VW Group platforms has more often than not been fitted with FWD configurations, this does not mean it is NOT a AWD designed platform. It was designed from day one to be both a FWD and AWD platform that can

But we’re talking the bottom end of Porches... if its status, well everyone will know you didn’t have enough to get the 911. I see the 718 as the “closet you’ll ever get to a 911" option for the middle-class segment.

Middle-class neighbour “OH! you bought a Porsche! NICE!”

No the TTS (and TT) is an AWD base platform that can be fitted with a FWD layout, a la GTi. The MQB platform has been developed from the ground up to be AWD capable.

$60,000? I’m on the US site and their listing the base 718 at $51,000. Yes I know its Porsche and you rarely get a “base” model, but its 9k less than written about.

Hate to burst your bubble there, but Volvo has a hell of a lot more experience getting payloads (and far far heavier ones) into space than Musk... a la the Volvo Aero Vulcain 2 rocket
