Hyundai changes its styling so much because of the fickle tastes of his home market which demands these frequent radical changes, especially with the Sonata. If historical patters are followed, the next generation Sonata will be conservatively styled (if it’s not discontinued).

I can already picture a new era of “keyboard blackbeards” hacking into autonomous ships out at sea and steering them to a shore of their choice to loot the cargo.

I liked the idea of auto stop/start but the execution is terrible. Automakers should’ve allowed drivers to program it to best suit their needs. For instance:

1. Aren’t there bridges over the highway providing access into and out of those neighborhoods or is the photo misleading?

Anyone seen a Buick commercial over the last few years not explicitly targeted towards women consumers?

I’m pretty sure by 2015, no NFL player wanted to live out the “Win the Superbowl and drive off in a Hyundai.” Kanye West barb from Golddigger

NP pending a thorough inspection. I once read Mercedes wagon owners were the brand’s most affluent customers which makes sense since once has to be really comfortable in their wealth to buy a stealth luxury wagon.

The 2023 Honda Accord needs a emergency redesign because interpreting a refreshed 1998 Toyota Camry, as the volume LX is especially likely to resemble, is not retro chic: its timid.

I don’t have “Afeeling” that’s a good name for a car.

What is the advantage between an already very fast EV6 Wind and an extraordinarily fast EV6 GT which costs extra and compromises so much range. All that extra acceleration is useless on the street.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Musk steps away from running Tesla in the near future. He seems bored with it and has his shiny new toy and all the attention he craves that comes with it.

I’d be interested to see which vehicles have the shortest potential lifespan.

Bring on the 500e. The U.S. Market’s gonna need more 10+ year old small cheap EV’s filling up used car lots in the future for lower income consumers to purchase. Even if the range is reduced to 125-150 miles or so, its still plenty for driving a city car for multiple days between charges.

Suzuki Kizashi is not a rare sighting for me because I have a neighbor who owns TWO of these (black and silver). I’ve always thought Kizashis were exactly what a Chrysler Sebring would’ve looked like if Daimler had given a damn.

Assuming infrastructure improvements on the necessary scale don’t take place and ICE bans take effect with state/fed governments making them impractical to own (such as the EU taxing them to oblivion), I’m sure there will be at a minimum electrical grid issues as EVs become ubiquitous, especially in lower income…

Second generation Mazda MX-6 which shared a platform with the Ford Probe. Beautiful coupes which a friend of mine owned an example and I used to lust after. It feels as if one day around 2004, all MX-6s disappeared from rust belt roads like an automotive equivalent of The Rapture.

No it doesn’t. The Accord looks like a video game sedan’s default setting.

I loved the 4-Runner I rented once—great on the highway but terrible to navigate around town. Therefore, the largest vehicle I could live with is approximately the size of a Lincoln Nautilus/Lexus RX.

Some geniuses will find other ways to get their money to replace gas taxes if a convenient way to charge by the mile isn’t implemented. It’s only a matter of time before some lawmaker proposes a more transparent method of revenue collection. It could be a major expansion of EZ-Pass beyond toll roads to be used on all…

I’m pretty tall and I frequently carry both passengers in the back and junk in my cargo area so the smallest car I could live with is something the size of a Honda Civic sedan or hatchback.  If I’m forced into a CUV, then a Ford Escape would do.
