agreed. EV’s have enough manufacturer support now, the government can back away and stop giving away my tax dollars. Their efforts to kickstart that genre of cars can be considered successful and the market should take over now.

It is sad that business owners don’t always consider this. Any business owner knows they have differentiate their end-product to compete in the market, they can be a value-option, or a quality-option, or offer something unique. The same rules apply to your staff. What are you going to offer to keep a quality, loyal,…

Agreed, I would buy one in a heartbeat if it was in the $20K price range. I find the current wranglers to be too big and heavy for my tastes.  (I’m an MX-5 guy, so most everything is too big and heavy...)

I was fortunate to have a family 1993 SC400 available while I was in Driver’s Ed, these bring back great memories.  The other family car was a 1992 Toyota Camry V6, so I was not lacking for peppy cars to learn on.

I’m glad they changed the grill recently to horizontal lines and got away from the blatant whale look. Those old ones made me want to vomit, or read Moby Dick.

Don’t forget that the current Focus platform is basically just the old Mazda3 / Volvo V50 platform that was available here as far back as 2004. Ford continued to sell us old crap Foci from the 90's until finally selling us the C-platform as “new” in 2011.  Shortly before Mazda and Volvo leapt beyond with new platforms.

You are correct, Martin Shkreli was worse.

I appreciate the way Tesla has pushed the market, made electric cars acceptable and even desirable. However at the end of the day, whether they succeed or die doesn’t matter to me. They’ve made their mark on the industry, and the industry will be better for it.

2nd Gear: I hope it’s easier to update and add new functionality to Android-based infotainment systems than it is to update most Android-based phones...

I hope that 2.0L Turbo is far more efficient than the one currently used throughout the lineup considering it is significantly down on power relative to its predecessor.

Toyota Avalon. Comfortable on long trips, (hopefully) big enough, super reliable, reasonable fuel economy for all those miles, and not terrible looking.

If I were in the market for a Pony car (and I’m not), I would want everything the Camaro SS 1LE has to offer, for less money, with a better looking dashboard design, and better outward visibility.

They are busy putting other things that sell in volume on the new Civic platform. Like the Insight. The ILX sells in volumes of 10-11 per year (scientific fact based on how many I have counted driving around Chicagoland).

because I don’t want skynet to control the shifting

They didn’t destroy any research facilities for us. Their last nuclear test destroyed their research facility, you can find evidence out there of the post-test seismic activity indicating the underground structure collapsed. Then they tried to get some goodwill by telling us they would destroy it, when in actuality it…

Not worth it, this will push the cost of Caddy’s even higher, making fewer people choose them over their foreign competition.

I’m confused.  Your phrasing indicates that Nissan sold more than 1 Murano convertible.

2nd Gear: Great idea people and inventors do not translate automatically into great leaders. Hubris may make them think they can run a multi-million dollar business, but results would say otherwise. It would be totally fitting for Elon to be the Chief Technology Officer or Chief Innovation Officer for a company like…

4th Gear:  Sounds like a tough job Mr. Manley has stepped into, but it could be worse...  He could have inherited Uber...

I hope one of those greens is Green Rave like my 2001 MKIV GTI 1.8T...
