Holy crap, Fiat Chrysler is behind Nissan? I had no idea..

This doesn’t seem to be much of a problem in Norway, with plenty of public chargers. Source: I live there

Copenhagen, Stockholm, Oslo, London, Amsterdam, Berlin and other northern European cities with lots of electric cars seem to do just fine. There is reserved/priority parking for electric cars everywhere in Europe, specially on city streets, mostly with accompanying charging plugs (In some cases free to use).

You do realize that there are places that aren’t intercity right?

FCA doesn't have a future

They tried that in the early 2000s (the last great VWs imo) with the W8 Passat, Phaeton and v10 Tuareg. But people just felt like buying Audis instead.

They’re already competing against Audi at the higher trims. There’s literally no where to go.

Everything you said is true. However, your brother probably regards the Lexus as far less emasculating than the Odyssey.

My brother traded their Odyssey minivan for a some older Lexus 4x4 (430?) to get my sister in law to and from work and kid’s soccer games, etc. The upshot? Smaller cargo space, worse gas mileage, but 4x4 capability for the 3 !!!!! times a year it snows in southern Alabama. In retrospect, they’d have stayed with

Just rented one. The steering is weirdly non-linear and the engine works pretty hard to move the car’s weight. The interior is great, but the Mazda and the Accord (with manual or V-6 auto, not the 4-cyl+CVT) drive much better.

Can we call CUVs what they are please? Denial Minivans. I call them DMv’s for short; and like the DMV, I hate them with the heat of a thousand suns. People who drive them (“driving” is just what they think they’re doing, I don’t know if science has yet identified what they’re actually doing) are the worst of the worst

They're all really station wagons. Just taller.

Are we in a ever-increasing seat height position race? People like being able to see over the cars infront of them, but if everyone has crossovers, then we are back to square 1. Personally I think we should all be driving go-karts for commuting. Zero safety equipment, ultimate accountability and there is no seat

Neutral: It’s sure looking that way. Some cars like the Focus may survive in hatchback form, but I can see a day when manufacturers drop sedan versions because they don’t sell enough of them to be worth it. Ironically, these sedan versions were often created specifically to sell in the US because Americans don’t like

I get blocked in by slower cars all the time. Still haven’t rammed a person off the road, so no, the Z driver should not have thought this was going to happen. It’s far from a common or reasonable reaction dude

“He got what he deserved”

“All I see are two equivalent assholes and one winning.”

Ramming someone off the road at freeway speeds and going slow in the left lane are not at all equal. Not even close.

Yeah because pitting another guy into a wall was totally justified.

No there is not enough blame to go around. It doesn’t matter if they were passing or not. They were still going at least the speed limit seeing how the car to their right was moving a little slower than them. The attempted murder by the truck driver is not okay. Ramming someone off the road at highway speeds and then
