In regards to EV and especially driverless, am I the only one who thinks trying to develop these faster than anything else in vehicular history is a bad idea? I don’t want technology that replaces drivers to be something that is rammed through a company’s development system at light speed and released in a few years.…

First and Neutral. I have one question. Where is the electricity for the EVs going to come from? If it is coal plants, I don’t know if it is worth it. Natural gas... maybe, but switching to natural gas fired cars would seem to accomplish the same thing. Solar and Wind? I know we are increasing solar and wind power…

Hot take:

Young people are buying $40k crossovers like they’re going out of style, whether or not it’s a wise financial decision.  And the buyers of the $52k pickups come back and buy another one in 3-5 years, so that market seems pretty self-sustaining.

Only if people start buying them again.

I’m doubtful that they can do this in the US. And even more doubtful that they can hit that price AND their target range. Maybe the low cost one will have a smaller battery pack.

Good price, what about range?

Have “Amazon” deliver all that stuff and get back to driving your CTS-V Coupe.

driving home from a concert two weeks ago I hit what was either an ungrated storm drain or an enormous pothole in the left lane of 295 in DC with such a bang that I immediately thought the impact would give me a bent rim flat or ruined alignment; but my CX-5 just kept on tracking true without drama. So when I think…

The NRA is a lobbyist group, just like many other groups. Now, if you want to be a sheep, you can complain about the NRA and get nowhere. OR, you can band together and tell your elected officials that you won’t support any candidate that takes money from lobbyists. You know who else are lobbyists? Pharmaceutical…

Preach. I’ve had two since they came back to the states and loved them both despite the rash of service issues (that 3/4 year all-issues-covered service plan helped with the happiness). The wife and I moved onto Jeeps once we had our kid because we needed a more adult car. Now I’m back on the market for a daily driver…

‘bragging rights’

Only douchebags think they have bragging rights for anything. Anyone can get money, it just comes down to chance, there’s nothing to brag about unless the car has a personal and emotional connection to you that people can relate to. Bragging about your love of and dedication to a fine machine, now…

Exactly! (I waded through the 400 Subaru comments to find this.)

Exactly. Even their sports model is slow and insanely heavy.

The VA and FHA or USDA loans rock. Talk about making sure the buyer is protected (and the seller too, if they want to be sure of a buyer).

Depends: Chevy’s probably betting that they won’t need TOO many piston ring specialists in the coming decades.

They’re still going to need engineers, but are the type they have the type they need to move forward in the coming decades?

I’m cursing you in advance: i copied Hatcher Tables to Google later and I know I won't be able to find your comment. 

“For example, in Texas a gun permit is an acceptable form of ID, while a student ID is not.”

I had an HHR that was fantastic, hit by a Silverado and totaled at about 140k miles. I still miss it, my wife and kids hated it though.

Just like CA’s gas tax revenue...it ends up being diverted to other projects like a stupid billion dollar high speed train.
