Surely the Corolla Cross must take the cake.

It’s absolutely terrifying to drive on the highway, comes standard with a stick, is available in purple and yellow, and isn’t a crossover. Not boring.

An actual... car? How exciting. Now, the Nissan Rogue...

I give you the Nisssssssssaaaaaaa.............. Ver...

Recently announced as dead but still on new car lots. The Chevy Trax, pure mediocrity from stem to stern and inside and out.

The numbers sound great, but those are wins in lower and local tier series. That’s like bringing a Radical to a spec Miata event lol. The Sebring win is certainly it’s highlight though. Sadly, just like Alfa, Maserati is a shell of its former self, with a glimpse every now and then of what could have been when they…

I bet each of the customers affected will enjoy their $1.09 share of the settlement.

An often overlooked part of what makes the Prius is so great is the brilliant piece of engineering called Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD). Between the engine and the axles there are only a handful of moving parts: a planetary gearset, 2 motors, an idler gear and final drive gear. That’s it! The HSD design does not…

Having been to Europe and breathed the air in cities where diesels really took off, I am grateful that American cities were spared dieselization. While it is possible in theory to clean them up, the acrid, biting nitrogen oxide smell is ever-present as is the brown haze and grimy soot from aging oil-burners. In…

call it the Bolt Action Beretta.  Then save up to buy another hospital wing.

While CHAdeMO is certainly not being installed in as high of numbers as CCS anymore, it is still very much still alive (in fact, until 2020, CHAdeMO actually outnumbered CCS1 connectors in the US!). As of last month, there were nearly 50k CHAdeMO plugs worldwide, and nearly 10k of those are in North America, and…

Interesting that they don’t think the Leaf has enough name recognition/loyalty to morph it into a small crossover caller the Leaf X, or Leaf Big Branch Edition or something like that.

The Mercedes w123 was released in 1976, and it was a great car. Slow, but good. The turbodiesel wasn’t released until 1981.

I’d vote Vega if it wasn’t so pretty. A disaster engineering-wise, but you have to credit the designers for making that attractive, curvy body in an era of bricks.

We’re done here. 

The Ford Cosworth DFV at Indy was an engine that appeared in the early 1980s. It was indeed a development of the Formula One engine, but was completely different from the Ford Indy V8. Cosworth was a company put together by race car builder Mike Costin and engineer Keith Duckworth, who designed the DFV. It was backed…

toyota Upped their hybrid warranty to 150k miles / 10 years and that was the nail in the coffin for Hyundai. If you buy a hybrid that is not a toyota then you must be planning on selling it before 50k miles otherwise you would be crazy.  

Perfect segment for a Chinese brand, or even possibly a Vietnamese one

They can put the chip in the Accent or they can put the chip in the Palisade.

  For reference, nicer late-50s Morgan +4s seem to be going for about $10 - $25 k more on Hemmings. This is probably right on the edge and I’m guessing his ‘real’ asking price is a couple grand less. Still - voted NP because these aren’t getting any more common, and they are going up in price. If you buy this at $19k…
