You must have forgotten about the Acura beak.

3rd Gear: Considering who GM put in charge of EV development, Al Oppenheiser, I am excited to see what all they have in store for the future.  As is the guy behind the 5th and 6th gen Camaros.  He helped push development for the Z/28, 1LEs, ZL1s, etc.

A coworker of mine had previously been working in France for a couple of years for his previous company. He bought a Volvo under the program right before he was scheduled to head back to the states. He claims he paid less than used car prices doing it that way.

Apples and Oranges comparisons. The general population does not know enough about the inner workings of the aviation world to know the “true” definition of Autopilot. If you take any person off the street and ask them what Autopilot means you will probably get a high percentage of responses that lean towards a level…

I would imagine so.  Louisville has similar blank areas, and I know that some of those are separately incorporated cities within the metro.

Ultimately, with enough work and money, you can fit most anything into anything. However, the LS is common because it is very small for the displacement which allows it to fit in small engine bays, and it is common because it is used in trucks. With that you also have a lot of after market support for LS series…

The problem with parallel parking while facing the wrong direction is that reflectors on cars are designed for the car to be seen from the back. The very front of the car has no reflectors and is therefore not as noticeable at night. There was one person who used to park facing the wrong direction on the inside of a…

Until a title is transferred, it is owned by the original owner.

While I am typically one who wants the market to regulate itself I believe that these rebates are important. Electric cars can be beneficial for the future. These rebates help spur development by inducing a demand. The idea is to have electric cars and ICE cars on a more even playing field in a few years, and these…

You can’t break any glass that isn’t there.

Very true. The Fiero was advertised as a sporty, but efficient 2 seat commuter car.

Outlook allows you to directly add an email to your task list using the follow up button. You can also assign yourself a due date using the quick options or a custom date along with a reminder date.

I did not realize that the Rogues didn’t have automatic lights, but that explains why they are more commonly found without headlights on at night.

I am talking long term. I don’t know what data you are talking about, but I still stand behind my comment regardless. When you look at what the “traditional” automaker was manufacturing in terms of electric vehicle prior to Tesla becoming mainstream, what do you have? You have the Nissan Leaf and the Volt. Other early…

I understand the idea behind designing for purely efficiency, but it’s the performance modes that attract buyers who are willing to pay. Those buyers subsidize the research and development of more obtainable models for the masses. So in fact, the manufacturers simultaneously can be serious about GHG emissions and…

This is an ultra low volume car with only 209 being made for the US market.  This isn’t so much for the fans as it is for the collectors.

My second car was a 2003 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer edition. I loved that vehicle and still miss it somewhat today despite the few issues that it had. I acquired it at a dealer auction in late fall of 2008. I presumed it was an off lease model since it was through the Ford lane and was 5 years old with a hair over 50k…

I am actually a bit shocked to see that none of the cars attempt to use a heat pump for heating duty. It would seem to me that at least in cool to somewhat cold weather that those would be more efficient than electric strip heaters. Is the added weight/complexity a deterrent?

These two vehicles are in two completely different size classes.

It doesn’t take much to see how relaxed the EU tests are.  Their rated fuel economy figures are almost always higher than the US values for similar cars.
