Negative percent changes in sales of the Q50, Q60, Q70, QX30, QX50, QX60, and QX80—coincidentally, also cars I cannot for the life of me accurately bring to mind, no matter how hard I try.

Lexus only uses CVTs for their low volume hybrid variants of the ES, NX and RX (and formerly the Ct200h) as fara I’m aware. Everything else (the vehicles it sells in appreciable quantity) gets a pretty decent 6 or 8 spees auto.

The Subaru CVT isn’t utter dog doodoo like Nissan’s but they are driving themselves into beige-mobile oblivion as well

Subaru uses a CVT in nearly every car and they’re doing well.

5th Gear: $2.3 trillion is a nice, gentle, lowball. This is going to be a blood bath. If you look at coal, there have been a GIANT pile of warnings to get the hell out over the last few years, and not just plant and mine closures. The entire coal industry is in that last stage of economic heat death where the frauds…

LOL, Pathfinder old?  It’s only been out for like thre... seven years!?!  Holy shit.

Focus should be put on the Pathfinder first. It’s super old and ugly, but that’s the most profitable category. There’s value attached to that name, and it can double as a good base for a true luxury offering for Infiniti if done right.

I had a Infiniti QX50 rental over the Thanksgiving holiday. I got to say I was disappointed in the car. There is no way they will be a legit upmarket competitor if that is the best they can do.

Am I the only one that cringes when watching this? Dude’s trying a little too hard. Not all cars can be a pure as a 2CV. Luckily Ford still makes a V8 Mustang. A fantastic 4 cyl mustang with a recent upgrade to the track focused package. A flat plane crank V8 Mustang that revs to infinity with an exhaust note that…

LOL put a relavent modern drivetrain in Tacoma and people would “by" it as you say.  But why bother? People keep buying that fossil with a fucked driving position regardless. Tacoma jaggoffs are worse than “if we just had wagons in america” dipshits.

This. So many times this. 

This has been debunked quite frequently on here. Electric is almost always cleaner than ICE, even when non-renewables are part of the generation mix.

Ford, and to a lesser extent GM, got rid of sedans and small cars ENTIRELY. The smallest thing you can get at Ford starting next year is the Ecosport. That’s insane.

It’s all those dealers with their searchable text. That posting for a 2015 Toyota Tacoma for a bazillion dollars and they include this at the bottom:

a fueling system that any joe can use without blowing up the fueling station. Gasoline is easy. You just pour it in. 

Instructions unclear. Exposed self to neighbors; cops at front door.

The above is dumb AF.

I bet when Torch wrote this irreverent article, he didn’t think he’d get a big dose of Truth™ in the comment section

Great take, Jason.

I keep looking for the down-vote button but can’t find it.
