Erin, perhaps the reason the NHTSA has done fuck-all is because their data says that the reason for increasing pedestrian injuries and fatalities is pedestrian stupidity; and for once the govt. is trying not to force the private sector to pick up the costs of supporting morons?

That’s the first time I’ve heard that joke stereotype in the past 15 minutes.

It’s because Jalopnik, like the rest of this site, has unfortunately slid down into being political mouthpiece for extreme left views. Happened to the rest, jalop was just the last holdout

Well, you have your options.

Any opinion other than disgust is boot licking. Apparently.

Acknowledging that creating three highly successful companies will make someone filthy rich, is boot licking?

“Elon Musk is now the fourth-richest person in the world. You hate to see it.”

Honestly, fuck you.

1st gear: Some perspective seems in order.

Having the audacity to live in a rural area and have a job? Oh the horror... 

There is a much larger underlying problem with your statement than the 35mph. 

In 2009, 33,883 Americans died in car crashes. If you relate that to how many people die compared to how much we are driving, that represented 1.15 deaths per 100 million miles traveled. In 2019, we were basically static.

This. Baffling isn’t it?

Profit margins are higher on bigger, more expensive cars.

Firing Mark Fields was a mistake. As a shareholder and longtime fan of the company, Ford firing him really bothered me.

So much misinformation to unpack here. Pulling out my soapbox...

I hate how takes like the above just completely mitigate all the hard work that a lot of us at GM have done to achieve those results.

Another poster who is actually thinking rationally.

Literally. I bet 99% of the interior parts are shared between the Fusion and Ranger.
