I don’t want my tires to give me a bang. That is literally the opposite of their job. I want the tires which give me the least bang.

incEL Camino.

I wonder how many of those details will actually be carried over to their production vehicles.

It’s like they decided to follow Nissan off the cliff, except they spent some money updating their generic CUV-blobs rather than just stopping all development going full-on rental car like Nissan. 

Seems to be a lot of corporations shooting themselves in the foot these days (I’m looking at you, Washington Post). Ford really blew it for me — I’m enjoying my first Ford ever — a 2022 Maverick — and giving them a pass on the long list of little recalls. It’s clear that Ford builds a better, more thought-out truck…

Interesting that my local VW dealerhip is offering to pay me $30K trade in for my 2019 Golf R. I would take them up on it...if they had any damn thing I wanted to buy. I’ve been a VW fan for a while (yeah, go ahead and boo and throw garbage at me, I don’t care), but I think their “crazy offer!” speaks to the fact that…

Have the CrossClimate 2's and they are really good, they drive normally in clear conditions and rain and are pretty darn good in snow, really solid tire. And tread pattern looks great.

Have you seen the Mirage R5 from about 10 years ago?

I’ll go one further - every single Mazda. They already want to be a budget alternative to the Germans, who do M/AMG/RS versions of just about every car they build. I’m not saying I’d have bought a Mazdaspeed CX-5 (because I’m cheap), but I’d have lusted after it stronger than the regular turbo I wasn’t willing to…

I still wish Stellantis adopted a policy of dropping a Hellcat in everything. A 200 Hellcat, Pacifica Hellcat, Dart Hellcat, and ProMaster Hellcat would have been absolutely hilarious.

You lose interest when a reviewer is honest about how the review happened?

This is standard industry practice. Every new car review you’ve read happens this way, only we disclose it up front.

In my experience the only journalist I’ve seen on a press trip who paid for airfare and lodging was WSJ. We don’t have WSJ money, so we accept Audi’s invitation and disclose it up front.

I didn’t love…

The cause of the explosion is unclear because no Boeing employee, current or former, wants to comment for fear of being unalived.

Cowboy Bebop already showed us this future:

I don’t hug people I love for 3 minutes.  Even the “special” hug with the missus lasts for about 2...

Who hugs somebody for more than 30 seconds at most? Will Aerosmith’s ‘Don’t wanna miss a thing’ be playing in the background, while your loved one will be sent to blow up an asteroid?

I’m fine with this.  Honestly you should be getting your goodbyes out of the way on the drive, then one final quick hug and send off when you get TO the airport.

Just not having a CVT is the real winner here. 🤣

it’s wholly possible that they had 1-2 million reservations, and people started cancelling them as soon as they saw what a donkey of a car it is. then musk turning into a raging nazi took care of whatever other reservations were left and not delivered on.
