That “Next Gas 40 miles” sign makes me think they’re price gouging.

You can call your car “the T”, but “Model T” is trademarked. It’s similar to when Lincoln launched the LS6 and LS8. Lexus pitched a fit over the LS-and-numbers name, so Lincoln dropped the numbers and launched the car as the LS..

Privatization can backfire, though. The UK is having to essentially re-nationalize their network after privatizing in the 1990s. They need to because, while there’s nice new rolling stock all around, services have been deteriorating and prices have been going up much higher than inflation.

But they didn’t build a factory in CA. They took over the GM/Toyota NUMMI plant when that shut down. Yes, they have practically rebuilt it over the years, but they already had the buildings, the land, the supplier network, the distribution network, all of the complicated stuff that goes around the actual factory…

Not on the back. Lexus copying Genesis already, who’da thunk it?

A scant 56 years since IndyCar switched to methanol.

What’s wrong with the Fratzog?

F-150 Coal Roll, with a diesel generator in the bed.

1st & Neutral: I think Ford is on the right track. Play up the cost savings, the convenience of charging at home, tech highlights like the ability to power your house in an emergency, and that ginormous frunk.

Would you consider the base model Probe to be its successor? Non-GT models were certainly more sporty than sports.

4th Gear: That lawsuit should have been thrown out. “Cruise control” has been a common automotive term for more than 50 years and still describes what these systems do.

That CJ stands out as a sore, non-Chevy thumb.

The first big rig Ram trucks were mind-blowing. Trucks had been nothing but a collection of rectangles since the 70s, and here comes a Dodge that looks like a Mack.

Coming soon, the Bronco Sport II.

Now imagine all these drivers with electric car acceleration...

The Civic has been classified as a company since the fifth gen in 1994, yet the new eleventh gen is undeniably much larger. The categories shift over time. In the current market, this is as compact as it gets.

I could see this as a remote control, but not as a steering wheel replacement.

Oh man, if I had the cash and the space...

It's gotta be loud in there with no sound dampening. Still, this is way closer to the original Mini than any production model.

Better use of the name Hornet, too. Looks small and nimble.
