I’m sorry, I must be missing something: is there seriously a Jeep Wrangler with a $115k MSRP?

Give the Prius Prime a rear-axle electric motor and sell it as a competitor to the WRX.

JFK and Newark are both with a 15 mile radius of lower Manhattan; LaGuardia is closer. 

Stansed is a close to Heathrow as Manhattan is to Trenton. There are at least 6 commercial airports that distance from Manhattan, possibly 7.

I just feel like “a highway with normal traffic” is the ideal scenario to be using adaptive cruise control, and in my limited experience it just doesn’t work that well (pictured: the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway with typical mid-day traffic, the type of highway traffic I regularly drive in):

I think we’re having a disconnect and I think it’s because you’re driving on very different highways than I am. On the highways I drive on, either everyone is constantly fluctuating between 0 and 30 mph, or it’s 3:00 a.m. on a Wednesday and there are no other cars in sight. “Traffic” on a highway necessarily means…

On the highway, there are generally two modes -- either you’re in “traffic,” meaning you’re regularly having to come to a complete stop, and aren’t regularly getting above 25 mph or so, or you’re in “no traffic,” where you can just park yourself in the center lane at 20 mph over the speed limit and let everybody else…

Stop-and-start highway driving seems to me to be the best use case for adaptive cruise control -- you’re on the interstate, traffic is heavy, you’re alternating between being at a dead stop for 30 seconds and then moving forward at 5 mph for 100 yards at a time. But, from my limited experience, it doesn’t let you stay…

If it doesn’t work below 28 mph I’m not sure what the point of it is, since that’s the time it would be of the most use, in heavy highway traffic.

The longest drive I regularly make is between my house and my in-laws’ house, almost exactly 100 miles. Usually takes 4 hours; there is no point along that drive where traffic is ever light enough to be able to get to the speed limit. Regular cruise control is useless in such a sictuation. You would think adaptive…

If you’re driving in traffic, and there’s more than 1 car length between you and the car in front of you -- whether you’re going 5 mph or 40 mph -- somebody is going to slip in between you and the car in front of you because that’s an open space in traffic where they can get ahead of other traffic. If the system then…

As a lawyer (and a father) I will say that, while I haven’t read the underlying documents, I’m going to assume that it allows for bottle feeding / pumping and provision of bottles of breast milk for the father to be able to use to feed the child. (Having had to feed two newborns I’m also raising a skeptical eyebrow at…

My daily driver doesn’t have adaptive cruise control; I never use the regular cruise control on it. But having tried it out on my wife’s car, I just don’t see the point. On the highway, either there’s no traffic, in which case the “adaptive” part of the cruise control wouldn’t actually matter since there’s nobody in…

Other than trying the adaptive cruise system in my wife’s car that she got 2 years ago, I haven’t turned on cruise control of any type since... 2015? It’s not a feature that’s usable in any of my every day driving.

I’m admittedly confused -- what’s the use case for adaptive cruise? My wife’s car has it, and I’ve never encountered any scenario where it would be useful. I drive a whole lot in city traffic, and it’s useless there because it always requires such a large space between you and the car in front of you that people…

The Town of Huntington on Long Island -- population 204,127 -- is the only place in the US other than New Jersey and parts of Oregon where self-serve gasoline pumps are illegal.

Everybody I know who owns one (which is at least a half-dozen people) paid over MSRP. If you want an EV and don’t want a Tesla this seems to be the choice everyone is going with.

I have one of the very first S550 Mustangs ever made — I special-ordered it in June 2014 the moment the order books opened up, and received delivery in early December 2014. Other than currently awaiting parts on a recall of a known problem -- in cold temperatures the backup camera stops working because of faulty…

Here’s the thing: it’s great that Ford is continuing to make V8 performance cars when everybody else is abandoning them, and I applaud them for that. But in making a “new generation” of the car that’s just the old generation with worse styling and a VASTLY worse interior, I don’t really see what the draw of these cars…

When the FF first came out, I remember reading about that insanely complicated transmission for the front wheels and thinking... this is an entirely new transmission concept; they’re only going to be building a few thousand of them ever; it’s guaranteed to break and it’s entirely possible that fixing that transmission …
