Amongst your successive racist genocides of the English language, I got that everything (comma) is racist and... yes

Use the Gizmodo Media Group affiliate link too, thx.

Anyway, “buy American” has a deeply racist past and using that as a guiding principle to buy, well, anything seems kind of strange when “buy local” or “buy union-made” are just sitting right there.

But then it would be RWD, 6-speed and a V8. A fact which might merit the word “sport” in its name and offer attributes to justify subpar utility and poor efficiency.

They forgot the mufflers on this truck!

You have to actually make the sports car to receive credit. Everyone is, however, clamoring to capitalize on brand equity and badge engineering. Of which this is both.

The new LS has a turbo V6 on a new architecture, maybe too expensive for the [cashgrab?] application but outperforms the B58.

More naturally-aspirated power in an affordable, sorted-ish platform with dirt cheap parts and thorough aftermarket development kind of sounds like a wishful palate cleanser in this marketplace. As long as it stayed at the ~$30k mark, it would be a compelling package.

I mean, we’re kinda getting the Bronco out of the Ranger plant’s profitability, and there’s the GDP and such to fund consumption of these products in the first place... surely Japan/ASEAN mfrg. blocks have no such policies to contend with domestically.

Congratulations on not undertstanding how angles work.

Rear 1/4 (3/4) area really evokes the CT4. But that bulletproof powertrain is going to be what people buy it for, whether they realize or not.

A BMW that doesn’t absolutely love to rev just doesn’t mesh for me. Those lightweight motors had so little drawback for their two extra cylinders that the snail-endowed fourbangers have probably converted a fair share of legacy buyers to upper-tier models.

Unfortunately, retired soccer moms aren’t too interested in something like an E36.

Too much, which I pointed out in another comment here. My beef is not with the technology, but this guy’s half-baked snark that wore thin long ago.

The browbeating with the“excuse” label on my preferences gets insufferable when I damn well cannot afford to act on them in the first place. And I’d certainly say that everyone is happy to celebrate a contrived recovery so long as they can make (or save) money by pretending!

Do I? Because that specific policy would be antecedent to some need to make up excuses for not using it as mentioned. Just make it that big oil is not subsidized, at that point, and maybe the battery swap doesn’t need to be paid for by everyone else.

I await the article “Here’s how I got a passing grade from our electric car benefactors in spite of literal missteps to inconvenience comrades”

$0 for the bicycle I’ve been relying on or the project car I wouldn’t replace with a silent appliance- if I even had it running currently. But if you’re saying that the CCP will be subsidizing my battery swap, that’s gravy.
