You said that people aged under 25 should be forced into econoboxes. Trust me, at (or beyond) highway speeds (which is when most fatal driver-at-fault accidents occur), a crappy little hatchback is more than capable of killing other road users. And forcing under 25's into slow cars would screw over people who are…

In the UK, insurance for people under 21 is usually absurdly expensive if they are driving anything other than a sub-90hp hatchback, with the most popular first cars being the Ford Fiesta and the Vauxhall Corsa (google it). Yet they still roll them. The problem isn’t that some young drivers can’t handle certain cars,…

The Targa is for people who want a convertible Porsche 911 that looks like a 911. The proper convertible doesn’t have that iconic shape.

Just one problem though. Most of these cars have a CVT transmission, which will die as soon as the car hits around the 100k mark. The average American drives 15-20k miles each year- so that’s only 5-7 years they will last before mechanically totaling themselves. In many cases, that will be before the car is even…

I don’t work at GM, so I don’t know what they’re doing exactly, but it seems like they’re going to try to engineer it properly and do lots of testing before putting it on sale, unlike another American automaker that likes to rush it, then attempt to fix hardware issues later on with software updates.

The reason why BMW has posted such a loss is because they bought too much cocaine for the new 4 Series to snort.

Dealers are giving new Mirages away for as little as 9k, which is far less than what you can get a Versa for.

Small and easy to park, spacious high quality interior, and fun. BMW 1 or 2 series is the answer.

Ten year old Leafs are mostly needing new battery packs at this point- The Truth About Cars did a story on this last year. Fewer moving parts only means more straightforward to repair, not more reliable. The Trabant has far less moving parts than a Camry, and no one is arguing that the Trabant is the more reliable of…

What are you talking about? A manual Accord meets all his needs and wants perfectly. A manual Mazda 6 would also work.

I saw that. I’m worried about the next S Class.

Not enough functions on the screen. I won’t be happy until the pedals are replaced by sliders on a touchscreen.

I found the Vega-Soy Sauce camparison way more amusing than I should have.

Personally, I prefer the Peugeot 205.

Versa and Sentra buyers aren’t bought by rebels, thats for sure. 

8 years is nothing. Unless its a Dodge Journey or something crappy like that

“Ford used this implied mimicry in the Granada ads, including video confessions by incredulous car buyers who had remarkably confused the two brands.”

Just googled my cars license plates. First thing that comes up is things I wrote about it on Oppositelock and Right Foot Down. Very interesting

If they bring back Hummer, I hope they’ll still have the option of a non-hybridised V8. A C7 ZR1 engine in a modernized Hummer H2 would be a cool rival to the Mercedes G63 AMG.

Mercedes did an armored version of the G Class, called the G Class Guard. As well as armor, it came with a bullbar, and door handles that would give would-be carjackers an electric shock. It also came with barn rear doors, which just look cool. Money being no object, that’s the best car in this scenario.
