Bet’cha Toyota (and Audi before them) wish they had all the data available to them that Tesla has today. As it is, Toyota’s black boxes proved many unintended acceleration claims false.

There are several reasons the US pricing model for Fiat will not apply to the 124.

Out, but with a W6/10/16 9:50amAnd wait till you see what happens after a few years when no one buys these things. I bought my 500 Abarth, which is equivalent to the esseessee in Europe, brand new for $17k. I saw them going for as low as $15,500.

Not to me, they wouldn’t. I’d consider buying a Fiat 124. I would not consider a Dodge Dart. Yuck.
Two separate companies with a joint venture in this one car. I’m sure they discussed pricing models- including incentives- extensively, when drafting their contract. Mazda knows the 124 will steal some of their sales, but it will be offset by the development and production costs split between the two companies. That…
Totally agree. At the same price, I’d take the Fiat version all day. I think the savings we will see will be due to differences in dealership availability/support and only some due to brand reputation. The 500 is a small city car trying to sell units in volume that doesn’t match it’s narrow appeal. The Fiata will be…
DCTs are great. I’ve owned a couple cars with them from the VAG. But I think the FCA DCT is dry clutch, making it grabby/lurchy.
Ten bucks says the idea of branding this as a Dart convertible for the U.S. was tossed around a marketing meeting.
It would be Mazda LaMazda.
Haha. How bold of him to claim you can’t notice four whole horsepower. I would’ve expected an uproar over such outlandish rhetoric!
As much as I’d like this to be the case, I don’t see it happening.

No one is on your side on this one, dude. You don’t have to like the President, but you’re not winning anyone over with this nonsense.
Funny. If he was an attacker and this video showed him successfully riding past a cop who only tried to flag him down, people (probably including you and I) would be asking why the cop didn’t tackle the guy.
If the President inconveniencing your commute once or twice a year in a major metropolitan area for the sake of keeping schedule without sacrificing his security is striking fear in you, then you need to talk to a doctor about that.
The charge will likely be dismissed because NYC has more important shit to deal with than this stuff. If this managed to get heard by a judge, the judge would probably walk the guy through “This was stupid and you won’t do it again, right?” But I doubt the DA office will have any desire to pursue this guy. His…
No, ignorance is never a defense. The defense he would claim based on your legal argument is that he was wrongfully charged. If you can prove you were charged with the wrong crime, it doesn’t matter if you were guilty of another crime- the incorrect charges get dismissed.
First off, yes, he is the most important America. If Obama or Bush or whichever President (or VP) wants to shut down the 280 for an hour, it’s their prerogative as the most powerful person in our country. Perks of the job.
