Here’s why I want a plug-in hybrid: my commute is about 100 miles, roundtrip. Most of that is in city driving, so taking my Mustang is getting pricy on the gasoline front, using about 6 gallons a day of gasoline. In something like a Prius Prime, that would be down to 1.5 gallons or so. I’m worried about using a pure…

Ok I think my plan of buying an Alfa Romeo Tonale is coming together since nobody ever buys Alfas and they always have inventory.

This is one of my bucket list cars. I’d almost rather have one of these than, like, a Ferrari F40. NP all day long and I think I might buy it.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t any passenger car with a digital rearview mirror rather than a regular back windown not street-legal in America? I thought there was a regulation against that.

For my next car I want a plug-in hybrid with AWD that can actually be found on dealer lots. It’s stunning how far that limits the field; most plug in hybrids have multi-year backlogs at dealers.

Still do not like that Samsung moved away from the curved glass edges on the screen on these. That’s so much better than the flat glass.

How does a helipad double as both an infinity pool AND a hair salon?

It looks to me like somebody forgot to put on adjustable upper control arms when they put on their crappy aftermarket lift kit, and the control arm just broke.

This is going to sound weird, but: my grandmother’s old 2005 Toyota Corolla. I’ve driven all manner of cars and have never had a problem in any of them, from giant land yachts to tiny sports cars. But that Corolla had an absolutely fatal flaw that made it borderline unsafe to drive: the driver’s head curtain airbags…

So it sounds like they probably would have been ok to land without the passenger but that the passenger was helpful with tower communication and whatnot, which is a lot better than “we would have crashed had it not been for the happenstance of the random pilot being on board.”

Asa Mustang owner the Camaro want even in my radar specifically because of the visibility issues. So stupid not to fix that. 

I will never understand why people don’t like curved edge screens. They make it so much easier to use swipe gestures from the sides of the screens, and keep the inevitable tiny scratches from repeated dust-on-your-fingers swipes off of the visible part of the glass.

My daily driver is a Mustang with 435 hp, and it’s perfectly easy to drive it hard. It has various levels of stability control and traction control. It has anti- lock brakes. It has an advanced suspension, and a well- balanced chassis.

Dopeople not remember the Dodge Caliber SRT-4? Tom the awesome engine from the Neon SRT-4 and put it in a... Dodge Caliber.

Assume you put new sticky Michelins on, and replace all the rubber and the plugs and the fluids and give it a once-over so that it’s in well sorted condition.

Ideally, I would like a) a Plug-in hybrid; b) with all-wheel-drive; and c) a Big Three nameplate (the only cars that currently tick each of those boxes are a couple of ludicrously over-priced Jeeps that are snatched up for way over MSRP whenever they hit lots). The Hornet ticks all of those boxes. But if it really…

I’m sorry about your family emergency; hope things get better. It’s a shame, though; my daily driver 2015 Mustang GT is getting a bit long in the tooth for my 100-mile-round-trip commute, and if I do replace it the main cars I’m looking at are the Hornet RT / Alfa Tonale, or the new Prius. 

Is that mold on the driver’s seat?

Assuming I want the PHEV version, is there any reason to buy one of these instead of an Alfa Tonale, since these have giant waiting lists and dealer markups and the Alfas appear to be ready for markdowns before they even hit dealer lots?

In fairness I’m an Android user because of the iPhone originally being an exlcusive Cingulair / AT&T product, so it’s a regular USB-C cable since Samsung doesn’t throttle speeds the way Apple does, but the point still stands. Lots of people take lots of video and photos with their phones and need to constantly clear…
