This article, and all the responses, are just photos of the backs of cars claiming “this one’s good” and “this one’s bad” without any actual argument.

Two year-old Subaru Crosstrek manual. I know you said automatic but don’t get an automatic. You’re living in the end times of manuals; there will be plenty of time to endure automatics in the future and you’ll thank me later.

“Hate speech” absolutely, positively, IS protected by the 1st Amendment.

Dude. We didn’t even get the wagon period. Any for sale are US imports.

Nobody was making electric cars before because competitive electric cars couldn’t be made. The EV1 and EV Plus cost a fortune and were nowhere near ready for prime time, no matter what you heard in that documentary.

The XC90 should require approximately (40/60)² as much distance to stop from 40MPH as it does from 60MPH, or about 52 feet. That’s with the system reacting instantly and everything going right. It would be close, but it’s possible she wouldn’t been hit at all.

That’s the joke. Sheriff Branford had the exact same expression as your gif.

My friend just bought a brand-new 2017 Focus ST on sale for $18.5K.

“Incredibly dismissive” is clickbait. “Cautiously noncommittal” is a more honest characterization.

“Humans” aren’t all the same. It’s a minority of lousy drivers doing all of the crashing, which is why insurance rates vary so dramatically.

They shouldn’t rely on GPS because they shouldn’t rely on a database. A database can diverge from reality in a thousand ways and for a thousand reasons. They must be able to operate safely without any a priori information, based solely on realtime onboard sensors, just as every driver in the world can.

It’s just a multi-lane surface street. It’s not a freeway. You find them in virtually every country in the world. There is nothing alien about it, even by European standards.

California was _just_ ahead of other states in establishing emissions standards. Policy was in the works throughout the U.S. by the mid-1960s. Congress wanted to avoid a Tower of Babel, so they established a federal standard for the remaining states. The arrangement was preserved over the years because California…

Quite the authoritarian circle jerk you’ve started here in the comments. I’d rather haggle with stubborn ol’ Ron than have to deal with these clucking hens.

I assume you are adamantly opposed to net neutrality.

You don’t have any idea how GM’s bed performs. It seems like the guiding principle for all your articles is “snark first, ask questions later.”

GM once mocked Ford for attempting a light-weight truck bed, and then it followed up by making something even worse.

This business of hating everybody who isn’t lockstep with every single one of our opinions isn’t going to end well.

Also, gimmicky touch screens and terrible visibility.
