Neutral: The current gen hatchback has actually caught my eye on several occasions over the last couple weeks, and i can’t help but remark how handsome it looks....

A less weird looking equivalent of the CH-R, possibly based on the new CX-3 ?

“It’s so new they ain’t got a name for it yet,” [Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey] told the Huntsville-Madison County Chamber of Commerce at a luncheon appearance.

1st: ...the C-UV? Corolla Utility Vehicle? i could actually kinda see it, jack up the hatchback version and throw some plastic wheel wells around some meaty tires and it and can’t be worse than a crosstrek right?

It’s worse than that: It’s an industry-wide issue. Between GMs ignition cylinder defect killing over 100 people to VWs “diesel cheat” there is no indication that the behavior will ever change.

This is the problem with what is, even after all these decades, still a family-controlled “our scheett don’t stink” company... it’s as insular as ever and they won’t admit they made a mistake until absolutely forced to.

Clearly you’ve never driven a Ford with that transmission.

Glad we dumped our ‘16 Fiesta when we did. Hubby was OK with it and liked it for the first 6 months, then grew to hate the car. Mostly because he lost his confidence that the car will consistently move in a forward direction and not decide to hesitate or get stuck in neutral when trying to merge into traffic.

My thoughts as well. They ‘sell’ a lot of product to an address and the profits are now clean ‘income’.

I wouldn’t depend on them to be DDs, but that’s about what I figured.

Wouldn’t put a fancy money laundering scheme off the list of possibilities.

It’s the Donald Trump of energy drinks

Rich Energy is a Banksy performance art piece gone awry. Change my mind.

Production version spotted in the wild

That rear hatch will be fun to open on a rainy day.

If we’re going to build highways specific to repetitive routes wouldn’t the railroad be a better option? 

Damn... you are right! But there must be other trade offs, like not being able to merge into traffic at legal speed? ;)

Never had this problem with my Beetle. 

“Super slow” is a relative term, since a lot of mining trucks have a top speed over 35 miles per hour.  As cars go, it’s slow.  As a stunning amount of raw ore bearing down on you faster than you can run, it’s terrifyingly fast.

Nitrogen oxides and methane are worse by weight, but they are emitted in such small amounts relative to carbon that their radiative forcing effect is quite small. Here’s a comparison from a recent paper:
