A half dozen Ukrainian tractors would have ship hidden in a barn by now.

Exactly! The need for range drops quickly if you can recharge quickly. Like high single digits quickly. I’d be okay with ‘limited’ range if I can add another 200 miles in 5-10 minutes.

Satellite navigation is very handy in places where you don’t have cell service.

I didn’t think you could make the Cross Cabriolet any WORSE. My god that is an abomination to all of human kind.

Like my name: I had an Olds LSS with the L67 with a cat back exhaust, cold air induction for a awesome loud whine from the blower. I easily beat auto 5.0 Mustangs. Bankers Hot Rod that blended in with the traffic until I matted it and the whine would turn heads. Very underappreciated car with not a lot of car mag

As much as people may lament what the Riviera eventually became, the later years of production came with the Series II L67 supercharged as standard equipment (98-99). In that guise, it put out right around 240 HP and a very impressive 280 FT LBs. For comparison a Mustang GT in 1998 would have been putting out 225

Not all rare things are valuable. This is one of those things. It’s so rare, in fact, that virtually nobody knew they existed, and now that everybody does nobody cares that they didn’t know. No dice.

This sounds like the perfect car for you if your idea of fun is going to car meets and spending the whole time arguing that your car IS a legitimate Grand National, and not just a Lesabre with Grand National badges. If your dream car doesn’t involve a life time of “Well, akshully…” with strangers, then look elsewhere.

“The automotive press, including myself, should be eating humble pie over this. I’ve written about Toyota’s strange trepidation around pure-electric vehicles many times before around these parts. It just always seemed odd to me that the company responsible for endearing hybrids to the public has seemingly lagged

1st gear: Leave it to Honda to delude the CPO concept to point where it will be meaningless. It’s all soft language to make you feel better, and will inevitably make the entire CPO concept lose it meaning. People likely think this term means it’s a better car than a non-CPO car, but even the original concept of CPO

Current Formula 1 circuits have to be FIA “Grade 1" to race at. Grade 1 requirements require specific run off, barrier construction and type, and proper facilites - among others - to accomodate the F1 “circus.” Many older facilites do not immediately meet Grade 1 FIA requirements and thus get assigned Grade 2, or

VinFast sounds like a competitor of Carfax, not an automobile manufacturer.

Hydrogen as a combustible replacement for petroleum based fuels is just trying to placate a couple of generations too ignorant and stubborn to fucking let go. That is an inefficient use of hydrogen and just lowers the efficiency hydrogen already loses to its production and transport.

I won’t be a buyer, but I thought this was a brilliant vehicle to do for an early EV. It will be attractive to a lot of guys who wouldn’t be caught dead in a Tesla. Call it “counter-programming”.

This is exactly the kind of EV we need. You have a much larger carbon reduction from taking massive trucks and SUVs off the road than shuffling prius owners into Model 3s. As much as I love Tesla, this is a great move. Replacing 13 mpg vehicles with EVs will have massive carbon savings, even if they use a lot of

I live in Montreal, and we have lots of snow. Being able to simply leave the snowbanks and then aggressively park back in there while I hear my neighbors try to spin out, or dig themselves out, is absolutely worth it. Snow tires are obligatory here, by the by.

I really don’t understand why this is so much worse than so many of the cars we claim to love on here.

I really don’t understand why this is so much worse than so many of the cars we claim to love on here.

I really hate this thing, but I’d rather see a Hummer EV over a coal rolling F350 brodozer with a Carolina squat that has never hauled a thing in its life.

Here in NC, we are looking at about a 8 BILLION dollar shortfall in the NCDOT budget for STIP programming. It was looking bleak pre-pandemic but the drop in VMT cause it to be worse. Now with a gas-tax holiday, dang, you might not be looking at any improvements/new projects for decades.
