If those test engineers were doing those speeds their careers were over, I’ve seen people”reassigned” for less.
When your career is on the line honestly is not going to occur.

Pffft, you don’t need a loaded gun for that.
I’ve driven both extensively. In all honestly the Versa is just as bad.
As an owner do you benchmark your cars on the regular? They’re not going to stop you from running track days, they’re not going to stop you from going to the drag strip and recording times.
I seriously don’t see how their protectiveness hurts your ability to use the car unless you’re an automotive journalist.
If you…
What rules as a normal buyer are you going to try and violate? Sell the car too soon or try and flip it for more money? Because you’re a first time buyer you’re on very the bottom of the delivery list anyway. It’s going to take you 2+ years to get the car. You’d try and sell it so soon afterwards?
I get what you’re…
It’s better to not run at all then run at 3 mph.
I know people who have purchased 10+ of their cars new over the years. As an owner (not a car reviewer) they seem to be good to work with. I’ve never had them complain about their interactions with the parent company.
I emailed Patrick. He said ‘Production, not the plant itself, like Trump said. That’s an important distinction.”
So he’s being really picky about the accuracy of Trumps tweet.
MKC is at Louisville , you’d be nuts to think Louisville was moving to Mexico. Trump could have more accurately said “production” and not “plant”…

No, the MKC is staying. There is no formal word on where the Escape is headed.
Job not leaving does not mean we did not missed an opportunity to create jobs.
The MKC was slated to leave. It’s not just about assembly line guys, it’s about all the tier suppliers and on site contractors that get hurt when products go south of the border.
How do you argue with a press release straight from Ford?
The opening sequence was straight out of the best of TG. They have those skills, they need to let them show.
It’s a problem of expectations. TG had the massive expanses of the runway and a phenomenal, challenging track. That what people were expecting. Instead we got exactly what your described. It may take a few episodes for use to understand the trajectory of the show. Perhaps it is truly more of a Grand (automotive) Tour…
He can’t play 100% outside the establishment. Nothing would get done, he does not have the connections and you and I both know the Presidential powers are actually fairly limited. The pragmatic approach is to bring in people who have those connections, BUT will follow through on your ideals. He is a pragmatist, not an…
The new track is a joke. It’s nowhere near the quality of the Lotus designed TG track, it’s far to narrow for the beautiful shots we expect and the drift corner is just dumb, flashy, but dumb.
Unfortunately I was not impressed last night, it was bottom rung TG at best.
Wait what? He has only appointed one cabinet level official, Reince Priebus for Chief of Staff. He just appointed Jeff Sessions this morning as AG .
He’s going to pick Republican slated people obviously but it’s thus far nowhere near the Citibank inspired group Obama appointed.
Form either side of the aisle we can’t…
Trump is not a Republican. He is a third party who found opportunity to win as a Republican. This is important, he’s there to shake up the current political system and remove (some) of the corruption. I don’t see him blindly defending Bush, or any prior president.
Bikes on the top are a waste anyway. I have a basket I throw on top (only when I need it) to haul duffle bags and tires occasionally. The blob eye wagons are not very big when hauling 3+ people.
I’ve argued with him many times, he’s pretty dumb for a dog. Don’t waste your time.
