Reading this makes me feel glad I’m holding off on getting an EV. If the pumps are all taken at one gas station, I use the one across the street. No range issues. This is not to mention how much fun it must be to be waiting for a fast charger when it’s -23°C outside with a -35°C windchill, and snowing hard....coz…

It’s called ancillary revenues.....remove all but the core product and then charge back all other features....and the author is correct, the price of cars will not go down any more than airline tickets got cheaper.  The aggregate cost of deconstructed value put back in to a product will always be greater than the same…

From a purely marketing standpoint, Mazda would be better served putting an electric motor and batteries in just about any other model, or simply building one from the ground up. No one has built a credible electric “sports” car. Being quick from 0-60 in a straight line, is easy....driving dynamics is hard. Let the…

I sold a 2012 Porsche Cayman R I bought new, after I spent a fortune on tuning to make an already aggressive car a little more hardcore, buying instead a 2019 MX-5 RF GT. The Mazda is cheap as chips to own, just a gas to drive (though I wish it had a LSD) and I don’t worry about banging up a $1,200 wheel each time I…

This is really nonsense. In the 35 years I spent in my business (hotels), we’ve had to adapt our practices and policies to changes happening around us. In 1985, no one had a social media policy, or employee guidelines on using the camera of your smartphone in the workplace.  EV conversions are an emerging thing, so…

Years ago, when I was COO of this hotel company, we wrapped dozens of Minis....and an Airbus A320.

One single aluminum plant in Canada (Bécancour) produces more aluminium than all the plants in the U.S. combined.....are the workers there those you consider “exploited”? Or do you buy into Trump’s argument that Canadian steel and aluminium is a “security threat” to the U.S.? Tariffs are the solution for industries…

Totally agree...in my 987.2 Cayman R, they were utterly useless....not that anyone was ever allowed to bring food or drink in my car....I’m a little more relaxed about the Cayenne I have now....which has better cup holders.

About two years ago, when I lived in Scottsdale, I spotted a guy driving a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing on Scottsdale road as I exited the Porsche dealership. I followed him (we were headed in the same direction) for a couple of blocks before turning off near Kierland. I kept thinking...”Wow, that’s a $2…

And to be built in Mexico at the Ramos plant. Guess those 25% tariffs Trump wants to put on any car assembled outside the U.S. (irrespective of the actual American content of the car) is going to hurt sales a bit....

Worst remote design I’ve ever experienced. One of those things in my home that can move me from calm to rage in an instant. Trying to navigate from one title tile to another can be an exercise in utter frustration with a cursor that refuse to move then suddenly leaps six tiles across the screen. Conventional,…

Everyone seems to be dancing around the obvious...Porsche build a better car. Those “Exclusive” options are executed with great care and the delivered product is without reproach. Are you overpaying for that Porsche embossed leather glove box lid? Sure you are, but I’d rather overpay for a Porsche (I own two) than…

I own a 2012 Cayman R (987.2) and nothing that has come since has been as much fun to drive both in terms of the aural experience and handling as mine. Every time I visit the dealer for something, my tech tells me: “Man, never sell this car”. I have no plans to. They just don’t make them like this anymore.
