Americans are well known for their willingness to help their “neighbors.” Russians, not so much.

Felton has stumbled upon an important design requirement. If robo-taxis ever get deployed during my lifetime, which I doubt, they must be equipped with a “panic button” that tells the car to pull over immediately for a vomiting episode, bowel event, or other need for urgent exit to terra firma.

I bet the story of his life is not very pleasant.

Earning a fair profit is entirely ethical and appropriate. Victimizing the ignorant is not.

Is it moral to trade-in a car with full knowledge its transmission is about to fail?

A discussion of morals on the site built by Nick Denton. Ironic.

In other words, the Government seized the plant.

Korean car companies are infamous for their hubris. They are second only to the Germans in that regard.

It’s a failure of marketing, not engineering.

A perfect example of poor marketing. The cars themselves are fine...it’s just that Hyundai failed miserably in explaining why people should buy them. Just as Cadillac has failed to explain why anybody should buy a CT6,CTS or ATS.

Kinja is all about politics. Ballaban occasionally steps in it...and falls in.

I have a 1999 F350 7.3 with 397,000 miles. No major engine service beyond recent injectors and starting coils. Mine is also a 5 speed, which is actually quite rare. I would not consider the engine is this truck to be worn out yet.

Quiet news day at Jalopnik?

Mark Shields, former Ford Motor Company CEO is but one example of how this mindless rush to autonomy is foolish. Shields delivered Ford’s two most profitable years in its history....yet was axed for being insufficiently on the autonomous bandwagon. Big mistake.

I don’t expect to see a monocoque F150 anytime soon.....and never a F250! Ridgeline only works structurally as a light duty shortbed, and that may work for suburban commuters, but not for contractors or ranchers.

The kids didn’t mention anything because those titles were not hardcore enough for their advanced tastes.......

How wonderful there are people who can afford such extravagance!

Very articulate!
