Why should Buttigieg be involved with this?

This is what happens when, as a Democrat, your party and leader breaks a strike. When an incident happens that is at least partially based on what the strike was about, especially so soon after breaking it, it completely destroys your ability to respond to it in any meaningful way. I hope Biden and all the other…

That’s... busy. Also, it’s telling they make the PDK shifter look just like a manual shift lever.

Farley has done that “More than half the leadership team is new to the company since Farley took over in late 2020. Among his hires are Doug Field from Apple’s car project and Alan Clarke from Tesla”.  Now I would agree that 2 years is not a long time to correct a company with so much momentum but any issues with…

Since you own both, a question for you...how does the interior hold up over time? I have two little ones and a dog that currently rides in the cargo area of our van/SUV. 

Leadership most definitely has an important role to play in addressing challenges, but this notion that “one man can fix it” needs to stop. It’s laughable that automakers still believe that promoting or hiring one guy is going to “solve the problem”. Anything that is systemic and organization wide cannot be “fixed” by…

Ford - The tooling and processes that make up the Lightning, Bronco, Mach-E and Escape are already invested in and in production. Is it feasible to redesign the current tooling or start with a clean sheet? If the systems are modular enough, then sub-assemblies can be re-engineered for fewer fasteners, more single…

people still think of Fords as reasonably well-built American cars

ford wants the appearance of a well engineered product, not a well engineered product. doing the right thing is too expensive.

I guess Porsche wasn’t safe from the late-90s, early-00s Plastoclypse.

My 991 has a sticky volume button too. #traditions

What about the fact that the interior looks a whole lot like the interior in a 1995 Ford Ranger...

Fascinating that my E36 has many of the same problems -

Kyle, buddy, it’s a Porsche. Are you sure you want to change the suspension geometry? Really? REALLY?

I really want tax by vehicle weight to not only be a universal thing, but actually be enough to cause most people to shy away from unnecessarily heavy vehicles, and encourage automakers to actually innovate instead of phoning it in an just being ok with “heavy it is.”

Tesla seems to be the answer here, though I have doubts about how “objectively” good they are.

The last few years of Honda Civic Type R. It’s a great car for sure, but I can’t get past the stupid looking aero.
