“Some 42% of Ford Focus and Chevy Cruze compact car owners have stayed in the compact car segment with a significant percentage buying competitors’ vehicles”

EVs suck at towing compared to what? Diesel trucks? One quick Google search (and using the first link), big diesel trucks go... 200 miles between fuel stops while towing....

Why not just redirect to this guy's YouTube channel when I click the link?  Or put his EE logo on the banner so I know not to click that story.

So 15% of sales are gifts??

That’s probably it. I remember an article from a few years ago... ah, here it is...

I must have missed the part where anyone thinks that front end looks good. 

Yeah, maybe the guy who made Goodfellas, The Age of Innocence, Silence, The Wolf of Wall Street, The Last Temptation of Christ, After Hours, Raging Bull, and Hugo needs work on his range.

Living near Detroit means I see an abundance of Big Three vehicles, even the weird models and slow sellers: a guy near me has two Azteks in his driveway; I regularly see Envoy XUVs on the freeway; not a week goes by that I don’t see either a Lincoln Blackwood or Mark LT.

That’s they key reason they want to do away with the electoral college. They can’t fathom how others live different than them. 

For The Love of God, Who Gives a Shit.

I recommend taking the manual on a long test drive. I post this everytime as a PSA. I had the ‘S manual and everyday I wished I got the R with paddles. The clutch is sub par, and the 1-2 shift was terrible. However the car is beautiful and the pano roof is excellent. I recommend someone seriously thinks it over. I…

Warm state houses have insulation. A lot of the time, they are quieter than cold state homes. The reason is two fold. First off, insulation helps in the hot summer just like it does up north in the cold winter. Second off, the weather can get wild in the Hot areas. The more northern areas of the Deep South get a lot…

I don’t agree with Clarkson hating on Greta, but I think his message is valid. Why should we sit around and argue about how we are going to die and when we are going to die, instead of focusing on how to fix these issues?

But it's cool to drive real fast in a press car and then complain when you get caught, right? 

We have not been waiting for a $100,000 wagon. We’ve been waiting for a $28,000 GTI wagon with a manual transmission.  

What I would like to know is if a bridge over that ditch was so monumental that you still think about it to this day and complain no one ever did build a bridge....why didnt the author build a bridge when he was able?

“‘We have an F1 engine that is used to idling at 4500rpm, now idling at 1100rpm; it still revs to 11,000rpm in the road car. It is still a 1.6-litre F1 engine, with the original crankcase and cylinder heads. We have to change the injectors, and reduce the compression ratio a little, but that’s it. You don’t need an F1…

“A road car with an F1 or F1 derived engine sounds like a terrible idea to me if you’re looking for a hypercar you want to drive regularly”

Well. Looks like that render wasn’t... that... far... off.

The haters always puzzled me on this aspect of it. BMW has been making performance-oriented straight 6 engines for longer (and more successfully) than Toyota. It makes sense Toyota would go to them for an engine intended to go into a low-volume sports car that will not bring in enough money to justify developing an…
