It’s welcome news for folks who see the average price of a new car – $49,740 – and shutter.”

I picked a hell of a day to quit sniffin glue.

I’ve seen this argument quite often - that it’s the fault of manufacturers pushing SUVs.

Except when I’m out of gas far from home, in a sketch part of town at 2AM, to remedy the sitch takes about 4 mins in a lighted, monitored, ostensibly safe-ish location for my ICE. EV experience is likely quite different, and certainly so for the time needed to juice up.  That needs to change to really push EVs over

Maybe it’s a childhood PTSD thing, but whenever I hear anything from Peter, Paul & Mary, I feel the uncontrollable urge to throw chairs and punches.

Ohmygod Alfa Romeo is dead. Just let it die. Ditto Maserati. Ditto Jaguar. Ditto so many brands that had their heyday back in the 70s and 80s. Just let them die.

Seriously, what the fuck are y’all trying to do to me? Between this and the $20K Bentley in Vegas earlier this week (not a NP/ND car), I mean you’re telling me I can have a total of 22 combined all luxury cylinders for $35K all-in? $1,600 a cylinder? 1002 combined horsepower?

A boring AM radio for example would set you back a minimum of $20.

I mean if they want to do a bigger run of 392 300s I could be ok with that

Hey, Lancia has been doing great selling nothing more than a single model in a single market (Italy) for over a decade, because no one has the courage to pull the plug on one of the most significant car marques in history, or otherwise to invest a penny in it.

Tesla vehicles accounted for 40 out of the 45 fatal crashes reported through October 15

Right now, you need an app and a map to find charging infrastructure

January 31st 2029. 1st gear: GM has declared bankruptcy again after 4 years of tariffs and investing solely in truck production. Due to the collapse of the financial markets, massive spikes in fuel costs and federal interest rates crossing %20, American car buyers are buying more fuel efficient vehicles including

Re New Car Prices: I think we are making a lot of apples to oranges comparisons.

Car companies have forgotten the lesson that GM taught the world in the 1950s.

Instead of directly offering discounts, BYD has in recent months launched longer range models equipped with more advanced features at lower prices than their old versions.”

Cars.com has 29 new Lightnings with 100 miles of me, ranging from 56k - 86k.  (Not sure if that 56k includes the rebate.)

damn you can afford a metal car? Ill be on the cardboard ride or die train.
