Volt=Laserdisc.....that's perfect! I recognized that right at the git-go. The Volt just isn't a finished product, it's something in between what we currently have and what we will have. It's an awkward pimply-faced teenager.

One of the best cars General Motors has ever made and it's almost invisible.

And the system has 3 warning lights on constantly that the operators have come to ignore.

They just can't get anyone to buy them is my guess

I walked past this place in New York, and couldn't figure out if they actually sold cars or just clothing. I'm still not sure, but I think both? Anyway, I know from my 18 years in dealership experience that the number one thing people are looking for is "sleek brushed lacquer," so I'm sure this place stays hopping.

Cadillac/Buick are actually 6/70. Any word on if that will change?

We had one of these atrocities FOREVER before someone finally bought it at steep discount. Seriously Hyundai? I mean, I like The Walking Dead as much as the next guy, but I don't want bloody handprints on my car.

Exactly what I was going to say. If a trim package name becomes incredibly popular and recognizable (like Z71) the manufacturer will immediately dilute the name anyway by slapping it on everything they can. Z71 means squat now. Also, think about GM's LS vs LT. Used to be the LS was base and the LT was hot, people…

You mentioned the hitch and mirrors and I was all...meh. But as soon as you said Tow Master Edition, I was IN! Seriously. It actually works.

A proud young man and his Tempo. I love this pic!

Nah it wasn't like that. She was just disturbed to learn that I hadn't been eating lunch when she thought I was, and had been footing the bill for it. She got over it, lol.

2001 civic coupe LX 166,000 miles one owner.

There's a lot of...neck in that picture.

I don't ever remember NOT being into cars. I bought my first car at age 15 with the money I was supposed to be spending on school lunch for the previous two years. Mom was pissed.

Two doctors just happened to be on a golf course? What are the odds?!

Efficiency sells. Safety sells. Which regulation forced Elan Musk to invest billions in an electric car company? Regulation didn't do that, lust for profit did. Why does my wife's Sonata have a dozen airbags when only two are mandated? Why are manufacturers adding lane departure warning systems and automatic braking?…

all great points

Ya I don't know. Might have worked in this instance, but in general someone telling you to do something that they have no clue how you're going to accomplish or if it's even possible may not be good policy. For instance, what if they mandated that since poor tire condition results in so many fatalities per year, that…

But what is your reasoning that the free market couldn't have achieved this on its own, without govt intervention? In today's technological world, do you really think that without regulation cars would still be carbureted and using vacuum hoses for everything? You don't think it's possible that the big HP gains would…

And here's the other thing about the EPA — they believed in the American car industry during a time when no one else, even the industry themselves, did. They didn't tell the automakers how to get the MPG and emissions results they wanted (well, aside from the catalytic converter, but if you were smart, you could skip…
