I thought for CAFE reasons they classified the PT Cruiser as a light truck.

It's sad that this gas engine of the future was installed in a car made by a manufacturer that will never see that future.
Wow, so the Abrams is essentially just a mil-spec Chrysler Turbine Car?
"Sir, what weapons and sensor systems should we include in the new Cobra?"
I feel like Ridley Scott would be proud of this.
50 shades of Porsche... That little 911 face as seen some shit...
The scallops story: Seriously why are people so afraid to unexpectedly try new and odd things. Unless you're allergic, just roll with your mistake in understanding what a scallop is (I dim wittingly had to jump to google myself and look up what a scallop is [I am from the midwest]) and write it off as an interesting…
I'd love it if we could ask people in the Middle Ages how well that understanding of medicine worked out for them (don't look for a wise old elder, though: they were all dead by age 32).
Where do these people come from? Were they all cryogenically frozen years ago before jalopnik and gawker started branching out and are just now starting to be thawed? Foxtrot Alpha has been around awhile now and jalopnik proper has had non-car articles on it since I started reading the site back in 2007.
As an American the first thing you can do to gain a little perspective is to think of America not as a single country, but as a collection of multiple geographically bound cultures that happen to share a common top level government.

"Well, if Nissan isn't going to use the IDx roof..."
Yes, driving and steering the front wheels is not somthing two guys can just hack together out of RWD parts. They would have to have started out with a Cord or a Miller to reasonably get a finished product that was FWD.
Judging by the schematic it looks like it is RWD via belt or chain driven by a mid-mounted differential.
Bruce Maddox? I didn't know you served on an excelsior class ship, and how were you demoted from a commander to a NCO? Was it after you lost the Data case?
Better than the "robots" the soviets used to stabilize Chernobyl.
The tricky part to building a 100 mpg car is building a 100 mpg car that meets safety standards and costs that same as a Toyota Camry. It's comparatively easy to 1. build a cheap super light car that gets 100 mpg but crumples like tissue paper in a crash and 2. build a super light car that gets 100 mpg and meets…
I think a big reason SUVs became popular is because, in the beginning, they were held to the same safety and fuel economy standards as trucks, which were lower than for cars.
I guess it could be considered a conspiracy theory to people who believe the market is customer driven rather than manufacturer driven...
