The argument I would get (when I still bothered to argue with people) was that, even though my Honda was built in Ohio and has a lot of American sourced parts, it doesn’t count because “the profits go to the motherland”. Trying to explain that the factory employs a bunch of people in Ohio, as well as the people in the

I always found it bizarre. I have had neighbors who are Jewish who are so very adamant that they won’t buy a German car, but they would gladly pick up a Lincoln, and I am always happy to tell them about how Henry ford financed the rise of the Nazis. 

I’ve had this argument a bunch of times with people and it’s so convoluted that I think it’s best to ignore brand origins and corporate profits and simply focus on what employs the most amount of American workers. Those are paychecks going into the US economy and driving our unemployment rate and thus I brand that as

I understand that you’ve moved the goalposts for political purposes (i.e., focusing on Chinese automotive policy, which is not the story), but can’t we all just put politics aside and agree, on a car website, that stiff tariffs on car imports are bad policy? Not even for the fact that they break basic principles of

Your argument does nothing but support the thesis that tariffs are bad economics. They are directly anti-capitalist. That China is protectionist merely demonstrates that protectionism is wrong because they are trying to get their car industry off the ground. To enable that, they put tariffs on imports. Here’s a

They can help with aerodynamics depending on the application. F1 cars used to run an exhaust blown diffuser that could increase downforce. The placement of this though would be more for a dynamic rear wing being blown.

Indiana indeed. We have a few “foreign” plants here, which apparently Trumpski wants to put out of business. I’m sure the workers there will understand his economic strategy and vote for him again despite their pain.

It may have something to do with those cars being built and designed in Europe.

Now playing

Reminds me of the Skoda Yeti that went around destroying/trolling cars on track days, very amusing!

Regular Car Reviews visited the UK a year or two ago, and while the car review videos of things not seen in the USA were good, they did one or two sightseeing videos which were great.

he had no clue that no one was in that facility when he rammed his car into it and around it. The possibility of danger to people is real.

Well, average rain in London is 110 days out of 365, so not excetly my definition of “always”.

Mate. I live here. It’s also (clearly) a bit of a piss take. I’m in my living room and the sun is shining its best on London.

What a surprise that another “journalist” jumps on the “England only ever rains” bandwagon.

Yea, England does get quite a decent amount of rain, but as someone who has lived in 9 different countries in his life so far, the current one being 6 and a half years in China, I can tell you that England isn’t any worse than

They got zapped with a Defibrillator or something on the styling front. The bikes could use a update on some of the dynamics but they’re pretty solid machines.

Honda seems to be selling Groms almost as fast as they can get them on the showroom floor, so I guess someone decided it would be smart to expand their small-bore lineup. Options are always good.

Wow... it’s like they actually want people to purchase what they make.

Go to North America? And we’re just supposed to forget about the near extinction of the ingenious people groups? I don’t think so.

720s is just spectacular looking in that metalic orange. Seen one around Austin and its beautiful
When you get the sunlight on it just right the color really comes alive

I, for one, have not forgotten the Virage.
