Right now, Mitsubishi is largely forgotten, because they don’t sell anything that’s relevant. They don’t just need a truck, but also need to replace all their current vehicles with better vehicles, and add more models to their range.

There’s loads of Mercedes models in the North Korean government fleet, some dating back to the early 70's. I wonder how they keep them running.

“Mercedes doesn’t sell cars. They build them. Dealerships sell car.”

Ford will start making sedans again, once their decision to discontinue them backfires. There are still a decent number of people who like sedans, and many wouldn’t be seen dead driving a crossover. 

Rear seat passenger would cost insurance companies money. In an accident, they need to pay the passengers medical bills.

I’d suggest a BMW 335i. Lots of fun, fast, safe, and while they’re not exactly the most reliable cars on earth, they’re like tanks compared to old MG’s.

So, Tesla is going to start offering in-house insurance.

You can get any car to a million miles if you replace the drivetrain components enough times. I suspect these 250k mile Avengers are on their 3rd or 4th engine. 

“They could just... keep making good cars” I think they need to start making good cars in the first place. Y’know, ones that don’t explode when they’re parked, or have their bumpers fall off in the rain.

I think that’s a bit harsh. Lamborghini’s were never as bad as that.

Neutral: Once the crossover fad ends, I think compact trucks could be the next big thing. It’ll get to a point where everyone associates crossovers with boring parents, and the people who want to pretend they’re outdoorsy or whatever will buy a compact truck, which will probably just be a crossover with a bed. 

Hate to break it to you, but Tesla’s are utter garbage. If the Model S didn’t beat supercars in YouTube drag races, Tesla wouldn’t even exist any more. They’re unrefined, the Model S and X don’t handle particularly well, and they’re all built about as well as a Trabant.

What happened to “Simplify, then add lightness?”

So when water comes out of the exhaust, does the car have diarrhoea?

Why is Jalopnik pointing out its failure to have an electric drivetrain, when being unavailable with a manual is the real reason why it hasn’t developed a cult following like the Miata?

I know carbon fiber is tough, but if it does get damaged, it will cost a fortune to repair.

Those E55's were very reliable, and are known to reach 400k miles with no more than routine maintenance. Unlike AMG’s with the 6.2 V8.

I suspect that the $35k version will be sold mainly to rental fleets.

Even if it is a bad example, it only needs to last as long as it takes for his ankle to heal.
