Yeah I’d call this a case  of “they’re all assholes”.

Best reform idea I heard was to make cops individually responsible for civil settlements against them. Effectively this would mean carrying their own malpractice insurance, which would take care of the revolving door - no need for the government (state or federal) to keep a list of cops fired for this kind of shit,

Amazing ground-up restoration but did they have to fall over on the last hurdle by setting the list of cities visited in Dom Casual, a font invented in 1951 and basically the Comic Sans before there was Comic Sans? If it was hand-lettered back in the day it should be hand-lettered now, if it wasn’t on the car during

Not enough price difference from a Civic to make it worthwhile, most likely.

The Honda City is for all intents and purposes a (gen 3) Fit sedan. As such it’s cooler than an HR-V but not as cool as the Fit itself which is (was, smh) classed as a wagon by the EPA and marketed as a hatchback by Honda. The relevant part of the automotive coolness spectrum is Wagon > Hatchback > Sedan > CUV.

And knowing how tough Dodge Darts were, they probably rolled it back onto its’ wheels and sold it to someone who drove it for the next 20 years.

What surprises me about XJ Cherokee doors is that the 2-door stayed in the line right up to the end. Given the low take rate that got lower over the run, by the mid ‘90s it must’ve been a production bottleneck to set things up on the line for one of them.

A successful covid vaccination program now that production is ramping up and real experts are being put in charge instead of Jared, will lead to more travel starting with road trips first. 

Towards the end the value proposition of the base Golf was way off; VW.com at this writing lists the starting MSRP as $23,195 compared to $19,995 for a base Jetta. That’s a lot for basically just a hatch and rear wiper, maybe a more sophisticated rear suspension. 

Mostly I was thinking in terms of putting the Pentastar V6 in the bigger ones.  

Good. Better to use Peugeot’s more America-ready models, suitably re-engined, to expand the Chrysler lineup than relaunch yet another brand and another dealer channel.

It doesn’t have to support its’ own dealer channel, though. That’s the point where expanding-volume concerns overcome cheapening-the-brand ones. 

I liked Saturday Night Live’s version better;

Shouldn’t the 7er have a German accent and the iX a Southern one?

Lectric Leopard;

I mean, if you’ll unlock your car with a smartphone app in the future like Tesla does already, why not a GM app icon and specifically why not a GM one instead of separately logo’d Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC ones? It’d be like a return to the old corporate keys;

IMO the Fit Crostar should be the new HR-V anyway. No more gimcrack “hidden” rear door handles.

I’d be a serial car buyer. High-end or not - readily replacing a Saoutchik-bodied Delahaye with a Chevy Citation or vice-versa. When being late isn’t an issue because you’re the boss and you can always call up a new Tesla anyway, why be concerned with dull matters of reliability?

3rd: Resigning at 12 days to the inaugural is the coward’s way out, she’s avoiding having to vote on the 25th Amendment. 

3. Fixed costs of car ownership in the  UK are insanely high and resale values depressed by the fact the limited market for secondhand exports of right-hand-drive cars is amply served by Japan, leading to abandonment of cars that would be kept on the road for at least another 10 years in America.
