YEEEAAAAHHHHH!

Sounds like, what you’re saying is they’re starting to lose Focus.

I remember when these tubes were laid out at gas stations; a little bell would ring, alerting the attendant who filled your tank, checked the air in your tires, checked your oil and washed your windshield.

Yeah, I really want to own a car that several people have thrown up, peed, pooped and died in. That sounds like a great idea.

What are you talking about? They’re essentially identical.

I recall an Americas Test Kitchen where they basically said 25 minutes is more than enough for a very good sauce. But they did use butter (and olive oil). And minced a small carrot for some sweetness.

200 is enough to have fun, but there are different types of 200.

The only jobs it creates are ones in old shuttered factories - because no company is going to build a billion dollar facility on the premise that these tariffs are going to last any length of time.

So you get a few hundred union jobs here, but increased costs for everyone which causes sales to drop and costs a few…

Who’s ready for an auto only, atkinson cycle, 200HP “Sports” car?

But the price for those (now domestic) goods goes up, because they’re still more expensive to produce here. Since the manufacturing capacity doesn’t already exist here, demand outstrips supply, and the prices climb even more. Money doesn’t grow on trees, so people can afford less goods and the standard of living…

In before all the 86 lovers come in to tell you that you’re wrong and THE CAR IS PERFECT AS IT IS! 200 HORSEPOWER IS FINE!

I am sure they will fuck it up by going CVT only.

...and yet I’m sure trump supporters are totally unphased that their leader is more or less on his way to engineering a recession based on nothing other than ignorance and stupidity. Ironic given that for decades the Republican Party was supposedly the party that stays out of the way of business and whines constantly…

With luck Maralago will be the first thing underwater.

I love you. Sometimes I read a post and my faith in human logic is restored. I drive a Lexus CT which is apparently “painfully slow” and don’t get me wrong, it’s not a Saturn rocket to be sure, but there’s nothing slow about it, and I take the 5.6L/100KM (42 mpg) average (according to my onboard computer) over a…

What’s stupid is that car makers are fully capable of meeting the efficiency standards. Engines have become vastly more efficient over the decades. But instead of that translating to gains in mpg, it translates to gains in horsepower while mpg remains stagnant. Instead of stuffing another 100hp into a Ford family…

It’s OK. We’ll lower the standard and have an even harder time selling cars overseas. Then we’ll impose a tariff, not really understanding that many “foreign” cars are made here and many “domestic” cars are made across a border.

Isn’t this the only answer. Everything in sardine-class is just varying degrees of awful.

I have strong opinions about the high-status of bulkhead seats. They are not ideal for taller travelers. You get more “knee room” but “leg room” - or more specifically “foot room” - is worse than even a shmuck economy seat. There is a hard stop past which you cannot place your feet. Which for someone like me who likes…

Noone gives a shit about Gizmodo.
