I have no problem with your stance on hitting people with cars. In fact, I share the stance. However, your blunt force, repetitive, stubborn, and condescending delivery of your viewpoint is what I can't stand, regardless of your message. Take a chill pill, back up, and try to actually listen to people, and you'll find…

My GF just got a 2014 Passat TDI. She's been getting 47+mpg on her 100 mile commute at 6000ft elevation, going 75-80mph. Awesome car for long distance driving.

We need to figure out how to make him American.

“People, they come on the list. People come off the list,” Marchionne said. He noted that he spends almost two months a year reviewing the career tracks of nearly 2,000 employees at Chrysler. “All organizations fail because of bad leadership choices. I am a very firm believer that bad businesses are caused by bad…

I try not to get personal on Jalopnik, but you're insufferable.

This, exactly this, is how I reacted.

Uh.... we are talking about the life cycle, yes?

Yes, I am well aware of the point he was making, but that point is not correct. The entire process consideres., electric vehicles still use less energy and resources than gasoline vehicles. Doea that mean i dont love gas engines? No. Does that mean we shouls only buy electric cars? No. Would I buy one? No, not today.…

Yes, they do still burn oil, you are correct. That's why I said they aren't as environmentally-friendly as a lot of people make them out to be. But still, from the ground to the tailpipe, the total energy and resource efficiency of an electric vehicle is higher than a gasoline vehicle. Not ridiculously higher, but…

Hi, can you please provide a study/data that demonstrates your point?

Have you driven one or taken a ride? Your opinion will get much stronger if you do! Truly amazing, and I'm the type of guy who loves 2-strokes and turbos and unburnt hydrocarbons. It's truly a wonderful era for the automobile, despite all the electrical nannies. OEMs are making really great stuff across the board.

Having driven a Model S the other day, I can say it's apples and oranges. Model S is from the future, a space ship. Would I give up my turbo e30 for it? No. Is it faster than my turbo e30? Yes. Could I make my e30 faster than the Model S? Yes. There's no point in making a comparison though. WOT in the e30 makes me…

Acceleration runs don't freak me out. I've been in cars with over 1,000 hp manned by a competent driver, and I'm able to keep my cool. But something is different in the P85D. When the driver slams on the accelerator, my mind knows we're OK, but my body – for just a few tenths of a second – got freaked out. Maybe it…

First, two motors means you've got one more motor for regen, sending additional power back into the battery pack for more range. Secondly, by optimizing the usage of each motor down to the millisecond depending on the traction available, Tesla's geeks have been able to tweak the software to use the right motor at the…

This is fantastic!

Doug, normally I wholeheartedly agree with you on everything, but your argument makes no sense. They're going from just letters to letters and a number. Traditionally in the Euro luxury market the letter indicates the model, and the number the trim level. Mercedes, BMW (although they just use numbers, but hey, 3 and 5…

This this this this this is what I was thinking, surprised Jason didn't include it in the article, because I assumed that's what he was writing about. Just use it like a hidden kill switch, or get fancy and add a wireless immobilizer like a modern vehicle! Of course a smart thief can just jump the wire to the coik if…

"Everything from Japan is better vending machine beer" is the most perfect line I've heard in any of the RCRs.

"slushbox" is not a very applicable term for this transmission. Go drive one. Yes, it shifts for you, but it is a very good automatic.
