The amount of people I see cross a double yellow line to make a left hand turn. You risk a collision making a right hand turn if someone is making a left that’s how early they turn.

And after they’re done off-roading the Acadia, and accidentally busted one or more of the lights, their insurance company can raise their rates to cover for the added cost of these “sick” lights.

“Basically, a lot of buyers felt that when they were off-roading their Acadia, they’d like to be a bit more visible, and that’s where the corner lights come in.”

Is VW no longer competitive because of costs or because they have a completely uninviting lineup of cars?

Dealerships are still high on that COVID supply.  They’re dreaming and I hope it becomes a nightmare.

That’s something that’s hard to not notice, how rich people in general seem to have much poorer taste now compared to the past. You see it in many areas, cars, art, architecture, they all have such mundane, pedestrian tastes.

Trunks are such an inefficient waste of vehicle footprint. CUVs (short, slightly lifted, wagons by a new trendy name) are better in just about every way.

Bathrooms and parking lots don’t generate a profit. States are tearing them down and removing them altogether or just turning the rest stops into unimproved parking. Federal government is allowing it to happen.

Good god, the 5th gen Honda Odyssey. Other than a minor facelift in 2021, it soldiers on essentially unchanged since it’s inception in 2018, which looks nigh identical to the 4th gen with the exception of a floating roof and some creases along the side. I get that the minivan is deader than the affordable sedan, but…

Infiniti Q50/Q60. Same design for years.

I nominate the Chevrolet Chevette. In 1986 we had a car that had been hit, the rental we were given was a Chevette. What a miserable piece that was. When the repair took longer than the rental allowance covered, the bodyshop loaner was an even worse Chevette.

Unless you can see inside, that’s a bold claim. Those trucks CAN fit, but the garage is probably full of dirt bikes, or side by sides, or just a bunch of shit. It’s amazing around me how many 3 and 4 car garage houses have $200k worth of cars parked outside, and I catch a glance inside, and it’s just boxes and shit…

this looks like if the Microsoft Surface team had to design an interior

Most of the Plymouth, Oldsmobile and Mercury lines in the late 90s. They were badge engineered to be the “middle” between volume and luxury versions of the same vehicles. Upmarket, but cautiously not too exciting as to eat away at the upper brands. The sedans were the worst.

Perhaps most EV appliance drivers want 1 pedal driving but Porsche knows its clientele. Porsche buyers still want engaging driver oriented cars, and not a golf cart with a “musky” smelling interior.

Regardless of the stupidity of his claim, he got his name in the press.

I think the above comment was referring to California homeownership being the second lowest in the country, so with 46% of prospective EV buyers having landlords who won't (unless forced) install chargers, there's a large population of the state that's going to be keeping the used ICE market going for a good long…

honestly even if it’s only a 120v outlet it’ll be way better than nothing, and super easy. complexes should really look in to it, because it would likely add a ton of value.

Honda Civic Shuttle/Wagovan:

Dead longer than Saab,and it’s good enough people have built their own. Stellantis should dust off the tooling to really let LX go out with a bang.
