I was hoping this was about how to get a cheap Fiat Panda. 

Toyota WRC mirrors...they are in portrait mode and tiny too.  Plus they are mounted to literal wings. 

I’m so considerate, I fold them back down and push them in for them when I pass in a parking lot.

Competitive analysis is nothing new and it isn’t necessarily a sign of incompetence on behalf of the one doing the teardown. Automakers have been doing teardowns of competitors’ cars for decades. I would not be surprised if Hyundai, Toyota and VW were also tearing down Civics, and Honda was tearing down Corollas and…

Exactly.  The transition to electric powertrains seems to be a bit of a struggle for the legacy makers, but they make good overall packages.  As soon as they figure out (or have the willingness) to transition to EV (Toyota, Honda and Mazda - I’m looking at you) the overall packages will be more than competitive with…

The Civic is an incredible vehicle. It’s gigantic inside, small outside, drives great, handles great, is reliable, efficient, well-built, and cheap.

Manufactures that only make monochrome cars say customers are not buying colorful cars because manufactures are only making monochrome cars.

*Dealers shouldn’t be allowed to spec their cars

My vote is the Lexus IS300. Love the design and its elegance

It’s definitely a little dated now, but I’ve had several F-Sports and always like the moving bezel thingie.

Indeed, this warrants the more classical term: fishtail.

Is this new for Dakar, as others have mentioned inboard jacks isn’t new in motorsport.

I was actually thinking of the the ads for the MR2 Turbo for “Faster than a Ferrari” where the Ferrari was the 348. That and the Mondial represent the nadir of Ferrari. But those 2nd generation MR2's still look fab today!

The real shame is that in 2024 we have boiled down and concentrated ALL vehicles virtue, EV, ICE or otherwise. Down to one metric.

People are fans of other massive pieces of shit so this should come as zero surprise to anyone.

What blew me away most about the video is that people were actually cheering Musk when he made this claim. Not because it was misleading and totally bogus, but how can anybody still be a fan of the guy after all of the bullshit he has said and done?

But now we’re talking about how they faked it instead of the impressive feat because they couldn’t help themselves but lie!

It’s encouraging to see Lexus slowly beginning to minimize that godawful open-mouthed grill design they’ve been sticking to for 10+ years. They’ve still got a ways to go, but when they do, good riddance.

These stupid things. I could provide some decent reasons as to why, but whenever I see them, I get irrationally angry.

I don’t really want to kill the 4-series as much as I want to end the naked mole rat front end. The 4 is probably the most egregious in the grill to car ratio and it just needs to stop.
