I”d like to see them go full retro with a base model manual. Not in the sense of ‘80s level infotainment (I lost track of my cassettes years ago) but colors and trim. Gimme ice blue metallic with a blue velour interior!

What I think is cool about it is how tall and dumpy it is, which really spoils the design they were going for. I think that’s cool because it’s how it would have to look if it were actually built on an actual Silver Cloud chassis.

Traditionally, the media has siloed the international beat (focused on geopolitics) from the domestic, indeed Wall Street-focused economic beat.

I agree with you on black wheels, they’re a cancer on everything vaguely sporty these days. Same goes for black headliners which turn the interior into a grim cavern.

You can see the clips clearly even in the low-res GIF at the top of the page. 

SpaceX is a government contractor. That doesn’t mean a lot in a 1A context (contractors handle classified material all the time) but it doesn’t bode well for Musk either way since he *is* such a loose cannon. 

Counterpoint; I can’t think of a bigger waste of taxpayer resources than spending money to remove existing EV chargers. 

And no more midsize and large patrol cars!

I just think it was a shame it had such a wide turning circle for such a small car because (unlike the bigger bathtub Ramblers) they never got rid of George Mason’s beloved skirted front fenders. That should’ve been done for the midcycle facelift that ushered in 2-tone paint and the stamped aluminum grid grille, and…

Yeah, the bright blue should at least get an honorable  mention for being the only really bright color offered at no extra cost on every trim level. 

5th. I’m starting to wish Elon would just skip straight to wearing Kleenex-box crocs which is the road he’s on unless he can get some people around him who can tell him “no” once in a while. 

Not only that but your financing, insurance and Blue Book value are all calculated starting from the price set by the manufacturer. Dealer markup evaporates the second you hand it over. 

I kinda hope she has one more kid left in her because I love the idea of the complete nameset being North, Chicago, Saint, Psalm...and Scott. 

“Best Western” was the name they’d have used if Savannah was a boy.

I don’t get the internet hate, are you people HOPING for Acura to go to an all-crossover lineup ??!!

It’s interesting that TFL doesn’t point this out on their “Ike Gauntlet” towing tests since max towing at high elevation is their whole schtick, along with acceleration tests at high elevation, off-roading at high elevation...run a Youtube car channel out of Denver and that’s what you get.

14. If it were set in 1996 rather than 1986, that haircut would’ve been in style (or at least as close to “in style” as it’s ever been.

Gas engines have deceleration fuel cutoff too. 

The real bad advice is anyone saying it’s at all rational not to consider fuel economy when gas is cheap.

Another way to look at this is that Chappelle is now an opening act. What’s next, local car dealership commercials?
