Cheating is the most interesting part of NASCAR. They should encourage it and document the cheats they find, since that’s the only real innovation in that racing series.

It’s interesting to see Mazda is making different rear doors for the sedan and hatch again, as the gen 3 uses the same rear doors. Hopefully this opens up the rear door aperture on the hatch, making ingress and egress easier.

I’d be inclined to disagree. The Renegade has similar boxy looks and an offroady pretension, but it’s a fair bit smaller and doesn’t have the clever magic seats that make the Element so handy for hauling. I once saw a guy that had taken the front wheel off his dirt bike and was able to fit it, as well as all of…

Unless the truck was diesel and the fan boat was gas, couldn’t they have just siphoned off the fuel from the boat and put it into the truck’s tank?

Why hasn’t Honda rebooted the Element? This is exactly what outdoorsy millennials are pining for.

Jia reportedly asked if he could get his next 100 million years of salary in advance.

How do we fix the problem of ever increasing average car transaction prices? Everything costs more over time, it never goes down, but the average cost of cars seems to be increasing faster than inflation, and likely faster than average salaries. I know it’s a mindset thing, that people will always stretch themselves…

Ford could have also brought it over here to lend out to aftermarket companies like Magnaflow or K&N so they can do R&D on the platform to offer products to markets where the Ranger Raptor will be available.

In total, the CBC reports, the Canadian government spent about $13.7 billion on the auto bailout, $3.7 billion of which were loans that were never repaid. The U.S., meanwhile, spent $85 billion during the bailout, with a loss of around $9 billion, it was later revealed. Given that perspective, writing off this loan…

My mom has had three Mazda MPVs, two of the old BOF ones, and a more modern 2003. All were fantastic vans, and she took her ‘03 up to 250,000km before rust and crappy ignition coils got the best of it and my dad decided to unload it.

For a ‘small’ fee, Chevy is going to sell body colour grill bars and new upper grill panels that move the bowtie into the top aperture. So you’re going to have to pay more money to make your new car less ugly.

It’ll soon get a stickers and stripes “Outdoorsmanperson” trim level with 16" chrome steel wheels and a roll up tonneau cover, and then they’ll forget about it for another 7 years before refreshing it again.

Two questions:

Last time I checked, the 2016-2019 Miata also outperformed the BRZ tS in nearly every performance metric.

Umm, have you heard about the new Miata engine? Mazda, a marginally larger company (1.20M units worldwide in 2016 for Mazda vs 1.07M units in 2017 for Subaru, according to Wikipedia), was able to give us an engine with 16% more horsepower just three years after introduction, and they never even planned on putting the…

This guy LS swapped it and then wrapped it around a tree.

I’d wager the application they’re targeting is advanced active safety features in manual transmission cars. With a purely hydraulic clutch, it’s impossible for a car to have an emergency braking system that wouldn’t stall the engine, and it’s difficult to implement a radar cruise control system (car can alter speeds,…

Crazier still, imagine if the president of a powerful country didn’t vet his twitter statements through public relations before posting them.

Um, we’re only 15 months away from 2020, so does that mean there’s only two new Caddy’s coming? Seems like a deceptive way to word that, since two new cars isn’t monumental.

You jest, but Volkswagen’s best selling product is a sausage.
