All of this speculation is wrong. It’s not a mid-engine Corvette, or a Cadillac.

Other than looks, I just don’t get the appeal of the i8. I’m surprised they are bothering with such a weak sauce update. A base Model S will eat it for lunch. Even if you are totally wed to the idea of a mid-engined hybrid, the NSX- which is similarly priced- has an additional 200 HP.

ah yes. the mysterious 100+ mph convertible. Surely those have never been produced. lulz.

As the good Lord said, “be thy rich in seed, be’st poor in car”-Ford 2:50. Saddle up, ‘father’, you’ve got yourself a congregation to haul.

Used Ford Flex. Way better than a mini van.

Or two identical wrenches. One marked ‘on’ and one marked ‘off’

I have a 25 mile (one way) commute I can’t take a train for. No way I can afford any form of car service and the cost of housing anywhere near work is more than double my current rate so I can’t reduce the distance either because the current rent is exactly 50% of my take-home.

Crazy times we live in when we can say a Jeep is faster more powerful and cheaper.

I work in transportation - the road side, not the car making side. I’m sitting in a hotel room right now, getting ready for an American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) conference. The future of transportation is 50 years away. We will see more automation within that time, but very few of…

1st Gear: I hope these autonomous cars are made out of NERF.

This is a good idea. Write a post complaining about the bipartisan house legislation and unreleased NHTSA guidelines and criticize them both without reading them, leading to equally uninformed commenters to make a big deal about it based on a couple of adjectives.

This is absolutely the direction we’re going, it’s absolutely worrying, and everyone trying to sound the alarm about it is being drowned out by the Tesla fanboyism.

Tesla gave us the latest example of this worrisome trend over the weekend, when it turned off the Automatic Emergency Braking feature on all new Tesla vehicles built since production on the Model 3.

You should be happy that it’ll take up less space compared to the F150.

Oh no people will buy good cars the horror

I’m honestly more annoyed by the white sneaker and jorts in that lede photo.

Mercedes had that for the Maybach way back in the early 2000s. Problem was, any sunlight at all and people started to see just how ugly the Maybach was.

Certainly a different experience than your local Dodge dealership

I implicitly trust his authority on any subject because of his accent.
