Just from last month as an example, and pertaining to GE to boot. An easy handful of examples from a simple search for anyone who cares to look. Come out from under your rock.

Correct. And lately has become a new low-cost place for some American companies looking for alternatives to China. Communist, but with not a thief.

Amen, brother! China hasn’t had an original thought since the invention of gunpowder. It is an economy built on intellectual theft. The easiest way to topple the Chinese Communist Party would be to cut off trade. Period. Yes, we would also bear some cost, but nothing like the revolution on the streets that will come…

Escorts are routine, whether in the air or at sea. NATO does it all the time. That’s quite different than what the Russians and Chinese do, which is aggressive harassment in international space. This point cannot be overemphasized enough. INTERNATIONAL SPACE. Remember when the Chinese struck that Navy plane in the…

Well, a prick will just be a prick.

This indeed. It wouldn’t be so bad if they would just program it to stay in the last state you left it, so if you turned it off it would stay off until you decided to turn it back on (not that you would). Also, I would pay tp get rid of lane assist. I don’t need a steering wheel fighting me for control.

This news finally put the Countryman on my wish list.

Good for you! But like whatever. I’ll burn dinosaur juice for as long as it is  available, and then hopefully (fingers crossed) hydrogen in an ICE. Those who prefer driving a toaster on wheels are welcome to it. Leave the rest of us alone.

I salute you, Mr. Akio Toyoda. You sir, are a true gearhead. I just hope your successor shares your enthusiasm and doesn’t get weak-kneed amidst all the pressure to be 100% electric and continues your work on that sweet 1.6lt hydrogen ICE engine.

Yes, that is correct. Fuel cells like currently used on the Mirai. But what Toyota has been working on is a hydrogen powered ICE. Good ol’ piston pumping engine producing nothing but water vapor. In Europe this testing has also taken the form of retrofitting existing petrol and diesel cars to run in hydrogen as well,…

God bless Toyota! They’ll end up giving us the masses a hydrogen ICE to balance out all those soulless EVs.

My guess: Dubai or Turkey.

American exceptionalism at its best! I like to blow up shit as much as the next guy, but there is no common sense in American society when it comes to guns. Driving a car, for example, requires passing a driving exam (written and practical) for a license, as well as having insurance. Guns, not so much. Any yahoo can…

I am glad people at large are finally becoming more cleared-eye about this fucking troll Musk. People with this kind of God complex couldn’t give a rat’s ass about your wellbeing, so using the population at large as his personal crash test dummy is just part for the course. All these techies God-wanna-be’s think they…

I agree with that. A choice of black interior might be nice too. All this red makes me feel like a Texas roadside whorehouse.

I would even make do with the wing if only I could get matching front and back seat colors (can I?). That mismatch is every bit as showy as the wing, but one I’d have to see every time I’m driving. Having said that, kudos to Honda for making this excellent car easier for us old folks to be seen in.

Say what? Replacement theory? :-)

That “estoril-like” blue? Yes, please!

I was a poor engineering student in the 80s. In my price budget all I can remember of 80s cars where air pumps and a maze of vacuum hoses on engines way too large in displacement for their puny output. Nah, for me 80s cars sucked ass.

No question this ordeal has me rethinking my interest in ordering a GR86. But damn, the comparable choices are very limited indeed in this country. I’m not a Miata guy, until Mazda gives us a fastback version.
