Just say no to slide shows. I check in on Jalopnik every day but none of the content is worth sifting through page after page of a slide show. 

Don’t do slideshows no matter how tantalizing the content. Stand by your principles.

EPA has a standard adjustment (reduction) to account for more real-world conditions. Manufacturers can choose to run additional test runs instead and use those results for a more favorable adjustment. Tesla chooses to do this, most other manufacturers do not. Car&Driver has a good article on this last August.

You do know the testing is conducted by the manufacturers themselves, right? 

I found that curious, too, but it was a M-B rep who used the phrase “dealers in rural settings”. There are all of five M-B dealers in the state of Wisconsin. The smallest market with a dealer is the greater Appleton area with a total population of 367,000. 

5th Gear: FWIW—Of the three nearest Chevrolet dealers in this area, one in a town of 64,000, one in a town of 37,000 and one in a tiny rural town of 1300, the little rural dealer is the only which has ever had a Bolt EV in stock. M-B is probably making the right call here but you never know.

Had me all confused too. I live a mile from a Frito-Lay plant and thought maybe they had shut it down. 

Look at the little info asterisk attached to each listed discount. One is a California-only state incentive, one is for leases only, one excludes leases, one is for GM financing only, etc. Walking in there with a check for $19,503 won’t get you a car. This is a car dealer, don’t expect honesty.

There are eight of these listed at Hemmings right now, all of them in seemingly good shape, with asking prices range from $7900 to $15,950. I can’t for the life of me understand why anyone would want one but if you do for heaven’s sake don’t buy a fixer-upper. This thing is trashed. ND.

I think the fuel tank on most GM full sizers from the early ‘60s was located between the rear axle and the floor pan of the trunk.

Ford has been advertising the Fusion pretty heavily even though the last one was built in July of last year. On cars.com there are more than 6000 new ones listed right now. 

The Ninety Eight had a big trunk but it wasn’t 40 cubic feet big.

The artists who drew these beautiful car ads, especially for GM divisions, took some artistic liberties to enhance the lines of the cars. Photo of an actual ‘62 Ninety Eight pictured below.

Reading the thread I see people discussing it. I guess they think it’s worth it. Have a nice day.

Explain how the point isn’t worth discussing? 

I had a ‘13 Mustang at the Woodward Avenue Dream Cruise several years ago. It was the 3.7-liter manual with the V6 performance package. A C-4 ‘Vette pulled up next to me at a red light and seemed to want to have a go at it. I beat him to the next stop light by more than a car length and he indicated he wanted to do it…

The death throes of the British auto industry makes for a fascinating chapter in automotive history and its final foray into the U.S. market played a minor role to be sure. But the Sterling was probably the least interesting car Great Britain ever sent here. Hardly anyone remembers it and even fewer could distinguish…

I think Tesla understands its buyers don’t like to call attention to themselves. /s

The concept car was called the Tarpon. Changing it to Marlin was a smart move.
