Not sure if your TDI is a regular Jetta or a Sportwagen, but the wagon TDI is significantly more expensive than the regular Jetta TDI, if memory serves. Tried to get the girlfriend into a Sportwagen, but she ended up going with a Passat because it was only a little more expensive with a slightly more premium feel.…
The natural gas is the source of hydrogen, so it's actually pretty efficient to extract with methods like pressure swing adsorption... All of this "electric vs. gasoline vs. hybrid vs. fuel cell" debate depends HEAVILY on the source of each form of energy... coal-electricity battery electric cars aren't great for the…
Glad you like it! Google "well to wheel emissions" and you will find many, many, many studies. I think the graph I posted is from one of the first couple results. They go into great detail, I think you could find any information you're looking for. People (government agencies, private companies) are spending a lot of…

And all of those caveats are at the heart of why Elon Musk thinks hydrogen is "bullshit" as a car fuel — he's looking at everything from an overall, systems-level viewpoint, and evaluating all the extra steps involved from the initial conversion of motion or nuclear reactions or combustion into electricity to storing…

look, I know the answer is always Miata, but this time it definitely is an answer — in its homeland, it is called "Roadster"
Ding ding ding (source: OEM engineer here who was involved in some past recurring quality issues — improper oil cooler flushes during engine or transmission replacements are at fault in issues like these).
Well-engineered ebrake handles matter?
131 pages for a professional race series isn't so bad... FSAE's rulebook is over 100 pages, if I remember correctly. And considering that there are probably several classes covered, some of it can be ignored, no?
Acura gave these things away for free to the journalists, bloggers, "influencers," and industry folks who attended the show. They also punched people's badges to make sure they only got one. According to a recent Bloomberg article, one that also lamented the death of swag at auto shows and press drives, Acura ran up…
At least 14 kits from the NSX's reveal have popped up on eBay in the days following the end of the show's media preview. The kits include a little silver NSX paperweight car, a USB thumb drive with press releases and photos, and a sleek black case. I have to admit it's a nice little keepsake from the auto show, and…
Eh, I think the process for mainstream cars is this:
Ford can make the panels thicker than steel, due to the lower density, giving them better stiffness, while still losing weight. They're expecting it to be more dent-resistant than the current steel bodies.
Just because you did a project on it, doesn't mean you learned everything there is to know. Car manufacturers have teams of people with orders of magnitude more experience than you had as an undergrad, working for years and years, before deciding that making a hydrogen-powered car is "worth it." One of the leading…
You see, after literally years of pomp and circumstance surrounding the NSX, Ford managed to upstage Acura on the very day of the NSX reveal with a far more exciting car that nobody knew anything about. Instead of talking about the new Ford GT for the last decade, and showing people drawings of the Ford GT, and…
