It bothers me more than it should that the car ran with Bridgestones in its last season and they’ve covered it in Pirelli gear.

...Ford should make a smaller Stang and call it a Capri. Ecoboost 3 or 4 under the hood, same size as a BRZ and profit!

In Freakonomics they actually mention the high conviction rate is because they don’t even try and arrest people if they don’t have an open-and-shut case. I don’t know if that applies in Ghosn’s case.

I think the part of me that wants people to just take responsibility for their own actions agrees with you, but my wallet is actually worried. We aren’t disconnected from these people making poor decisions.

Does the Insight have a plug-in option? I thought that was just on the Clarity.

But these same regulations mean there are $8,000 used cars on the market that are in fantastic condition and still wildly reliable. You don’t have to go get 8 year loans to buy the median transaction price of $33,000.

I see what you did there.

I imagine a project like Hyperloop would be a public-private partnership in the beginning with a private company eventually taking full ownership and profits as well as the responsibility to maintain the infrastructure.

I assume this would be a plug-in hybrid scenario. So at home you’d plug in. The generator would only run when it’s sitting and not plugged in.

The good ones really are more brand-focused than car-focused.

You only have 2 stars right now, but this is awesome.

Also, I think the Micra would eat into the Versa sales.

Back in 2011-2012 when they were probably formulating that specific part of the deal, electric cars seemed years away from the mainstream. A lot has happened in a short time. I’m not sure the FIA would have signed that same agreement today.

The ELR had huge modifications from both the Volt chassis and powertrain. It was not just a re-skinned Volt, which is why it ended up so expensive.

ITT: PR reps for the fossil fuel industry.

That was a fantastic documentary.

I believe it would be undefined.

Close the cockpit, and while you’re at it close the wheels as well. Then add doors that let the driver get in and out quickly. Because of that, you could add the element of driver changes in a race, then they could race for way longer than an hour and a half.
