I’m not sure if Trump can execute tariffs on Mexico. It would violate the USMCA (which replaced NAFTA and was negotiated by Trump-he called it his “best deal”). If he wants to withdraw from the USMCA it would require congressional approval.

Honestly the differentiation they need is having buttons, knobs, and physical controls vs. BMW and Mercedes.  They have been trending towards haptic controls due to their VW roots and it is making them lose their customer base.  Audi used to have one of the best interiors.  They seem to have gone more and more down…

“Struggles are also being felt at Nissan, with Reuters reporting that the Titan maker could cut even more jobs.”

I don’t know how much consumers dig into numbers for recalls.  A headline of “car recalled for potential fire” is probably enough for people to not want to buy it regardless of how many were actually effected.

Dang GM already lighting every last ounce of goodwill it had on fire.  I remember people writing about how they used the first Bolt buyback money to buy another GM product.  Wonder if GM will have to give out more cash as surely another fire related recall will tank resale value (again).

Jeep needs to hurry up and get out an EV or 4XE version of the FC concept.

Generally, I like turbo Volvo’s. This has the wrong transmission, is not a wagon, and is priced too high. ND

Does the 3.6 come in anything anymore? I thought everyone abandoned big 6's in favor of 4 cylinder turbos (Honda and Hyundai/Kia Crossovers and SUV’s aside)

They better keep the air drop tradition.  Deliver it via drone to my front door.  Jokes aside this thing looks like a great in between for the electric bike crowd and the heavy as hell and over contented electric motorcycle crowd.  A runabout doesn’t need much range and really doesn’t need to break highway speeds.  I…

Probably recovering from the 1792 Unzen earthquake and landslide.  They were pretty isolationist at the time with only some American and Russian boats actually making contact.  1794 is just after the Kansei reforms where the Shogun pushed people to move away from the city and into the country.

Lot of good options. I’ll go with the 1946 Ford Deluxe. It was the first civilian car off the assembly line after WW2 that was gifted to Harry Truman from Henry Ford II in September 1945.

A friend of mine who was a recovered addict told me a story of how he woke up from nodding out not remembering parking in a corn field only to realize that he was actively driving at highway speeds through a cornfield.

Just pull into the Costco line in reverse. 

Wait- have you murdered someone in your Lexus?

This is my go to for any car.  Wait 3 years until the leases come back and you have a perfectly good certified pre-owned vehicle with under 36k, maintenance records, and a factory warranty.

I think if you could get negative numbers on a crash score this would have -10.  The entire car is a crumple zone.

Have some crazy aftermarket company throw a Porsche 4.0 in it.

The boxer is the reason the GR86 has such a low center of gravity.  It is the same reason that Porsche uses flat engines.

Sounds like we need to make a goose cannon.

Packard, old Buick, Triumph, there are so many cool badges out there:
