It bothers me that there’s no legislation requiring certain things to be recyclable or biodegradable. Think of how much better the world would be if all plastic containers for food or electronics or whatever had to be recyclable? Or better yet, stop wrapping literally everything in plastic when there’s no legitimate…

Considering how many luxury car buyers think their BMW has a V6 under the hood, yeah it doesn’t really matter all that much.

This was slightly depressing to read, it’s like almost nothing can be recycled...

It’s too bad we don’t have highspeed trains in North America, that would make them the first choice method of interior travel. I’ve taken them in Europe (Eurostar, TGV and TrenItalia) and they’re fantastic. Plus traveling at 200mph on the ground is pretty fun.

I really want to like Tesla, but these Ikea minimalist interiors are several steps too far for me. It looks ridiculous; definitely form over function.

Substituting the word meat for “protein”; as in “choose your protein in this salad bowl”. Yes, meat has protein. But if you’re thinking of it only as a source of said protein, you’re doing it wrong.

How is this at all different from what they’re doing now? My Audi was built in Hungary and imported to Canada. Plus all of the cars I mentioned currently exist, and shouldn’t require extensive modifications to comply with North American regulations.

I went ahead and Googled it, the R Estate is 4596mm, while the Allroad is 4721mm. That’s 125mm difference, or about 5 inches. So not a world of difference, but definitely a difference. I’ve driven a 2019 Allroad, it does feel like a fairly substantial car. While I haven’t driven the current-gen Golf estates, I did get…

It’s true of the VW Group as a whole. Why are a number of the cooler Audis not sold here? No A3 hatch? No A4 Avant? No RS4? No RS6? Hell I think the Q2 would sell over here since small crossovers have become weirdly popular lately.

That’s substantially bigger and less powerful though.

Europe gets the R wagon, that’s the car they need to bring across the pond. I’d be happy seeing the T-Roc remain a European exclusive if we got that one instead.

BA is one I need to pay more attention to, they seem to have a lot of flights leaving JFK, which is less than an hour away from me.

Yeah let’s not forget this plane was so much bigger than anything before it that it required a new weight class; and airports needed to be prepared to handle that big beast.

It’s getting surprisingly hard to fly on a 747 nowadays though, at least if you’re in North America. I live in Montreal (YUL) and there are no 747s landing here anymore, the last was a Royal Air Maroc that they replaced with their new 787 over the summer. My only two realistic options are the KLM 747 doing YYZ-AMS, or…

Probably not. I don’t think any of them have flown since 2003; at this point the planes would require rebuilds worth more than the plane itself.

Personally I’m just shocked that nobody tried shooting out their tires.

The notion a compact car has changed substantially recently. The current-gen Civic is also the size of an Accord from the early 2000s. Even the current Audi A3 is about the size of an A4 from that same time period. True compacts are few and far between now.

I hadn’t even thought of that, but yes that would also help with traction.

Why do you have to pick only one? AWD with winter tires is going to give you one hell of an advantage. Contrary to popular belief the two are not mutually exclusive.

Yes, so much yes. Anyone trying to claim that this is not objectively the best answer is really trying to hammer down an incorrect viewpoint.
