“I’ve never found “new car smell” to be particularly good, I think it’s probably just a physiological reaction to spending a lot of money on a giant metal piece of your identity.”

Is there anyone on this writing staff that isn’t diametrically opposed to the idea of a new car?!? What is this thing... the Tennessee Backwo…

This makes a SMALL amount of sense to me if you have a black car and you find the red reflectors make the back end too busy. Some of these blackout films do not impede significantly the reflectiveness (believe it or not I actually spent time watching a DEMONSTRATION of this). That’s all I have to say.

That’s ok Brian... you’re right we all DID know this... but it helps you to get it out so we’ll patiently read it without learning anything new. :) Thanks.

I did have the privilege of watching them as they rolled out and it was my number one childhood TV show narrowly edging out Batman. It had perfect timing that cannot be replaced or possibly even appreciated. The 1982 Trans Am (obviously what K.I.T.T. was based on) was not only JUST being released, it truly was an…

Jason... you guys are way off base here... We only need one car, an Audi S8, and one SUV, the GLS63. Perfect.

My take? He overpaid.

GMs huge problem is that they are a company run by “what’s best for GM first” thinking, coupled with WAAAY too many people that are not car people. Aside from at least being smart enough to set a few teams aside and not fit them into this formula (Corvette, partial Camaro), if they ever DID have a hit, it would would…

I disagree. It’s like a Chinese knockoff OF a Chinese knockoff.

Woooow... you really called me out. Clearly you’re a hyper sensitive Dodge owner that is sick of having his (or her) car called out for being built like crap. Hang in there lil fella... there’s plenty of time left in life to upgrade to a quality vehicle. FWIW, I’m not sure I’ve ever met anyone who’s jealous of a…

Yea... I love people that promise they’re not a racist, but then clearly act racist. If I had a nickel every time someone started a sentence with, “I’m not a racist but...” I’d be living on a little tropical island somewhere right now ignoring 2020.

Black without the black optics package

Honestly... I think you’re overestimating 3%.

While that I personally think it makes sense to link the front and rear fogs together (let’s face it, if you’re using them properly there is never a need from one on and not the other), I’ve personally never owned a vehicle where they were tied to the same switch (or switch position). Additionally, most Americans…

As has always been true, expectations of cheaper cars are always lower to some degree then premium cars. If I buy a cheap Chevy or Dodge and some trim doesn’t line up, am I really taking in it for that? I buy a Mercedes and I want it to be perfect.

So I don’t understand this. I think any remotely modern Mercedes or Audi doesn’t have a hard toggle switch for the rear fog, meaning that you have to manually activate it every time your headlamps are activated. I have one of each and use my rear fog when visibility is highly impaired or at the car wash to check…

Thumbs up for Amber. ROW VW Phaetons had multicolored LEDs that would switch from red to amber when the turnsignal activated that I thought that was very cool.

Well... I guess there’s one potential customer.

I personally find this uninteresting compared to C’était un rendez-vous. *except for the music at the end.

By your own logic, police aren’t needed to intervene in anything... bank robberies, murder, theft... after all, those things still exist, right? Honestly, I have less and less respect for the writing by some of the journalists on this site.

This is simply a data point for Elon Musk. These are not people driving cars and trucks... they are widgets. People die in cars everyday is the general umbrella that “protects” Tesla from responsibility. Make no mistake... people driving Teslas are beta testing with their lives.
