I read the article and VW’s statement that it’s going to be a standalone BOF vehicle. I just don’t believe it one sec. Makes little sense from a cost perspective

I don’t understand how a brand like Kia can justify $60-80K for these when the market already showed that it wasn’t willing to put out $50k for the Stinger.

Prime Video is following suit from Max and Paramount+, which launched an ad-supported tier in 2021,

All of them are originals released through Apple TV+

It’s clear we’ve absolutely loved having this Rioja Red beauty on our side

Oh wow, more than one color in the interior - why can’t we do that over here? Black on gray interiors are so depressing

In my first car, the airbag cover had a loose/broken clip, so to actually activate the horn, you had to first push hard enough to re-engage the clip, then it could make contact with the horn mechanism.

We forget how much internet connectivity has improved in those 10 years. Back at launch, you were lucky (or rich) if you were getting even 50Mbps down; major ISPs like Comcast were still selling 6Mbps bundle plans, and we were still in the heart of talking data caps because torrents were ruining network QoS for…

There’s something kind of magical about flying around a Pokémon world, seeing different critters running around, and jumping right into battling and capturing them without any of the menus and obstacles that wasted your time in previous games.

Re: the “how many people actually fiddle with their HVAC controls on a day-to-day basis” question:

You mean like a $17000 Mitsubishi Mirage? Even that’s not going so well.

The thing is, though, the car’s just providing a blank window for Carplay to draw in. Performance and lag of AA or CP is almost entirely on the phone running it, unless maybe you have electrical gremlins sending faulty signals to the headunit perhaps.

I really considered trading in my CR-Z for a full EV this summer, but the range I want just isn’t there, especially in the used market where most are the early 150-200mi cars.

It’s shocking that VW doesn’t sell the GTE in the US now. I know originally, they kept it out because it would undercut the identical A3 e-tron, but that isn’t sold here anymore, so what gives?

state officials have implemented a 2035 requirement that all newly purchased or leased school buses have to be zero-emission.

I don’t really need another Kyogre, but you know what I do need? Marshadow. It’s literally the only Pokemon of the 1000+ that I don’t have because they only gave it away back in like 2015 and I missed the live event.

I doubt it - Audi sells so few A4 or A6 allroads that they don’t even split them out from the sales totals of the regular sedan versions of those cars.

The name Rhys sounds familiar, but I had to Google to know who the other two are. It’s not enough to say their names once a season, they actually have to be used as characters, move around and do things, not just read their backwards displays

Former SFer - I’ve definitely seen SFPD threaten to tow residential overtimes - a dude on my block kept storing RVs for weeks at a time and got those big green/orange warning stickers on his driver’s window several times. Never saw them actually towed, though - he would rip the warnings off and I guess SFPD never…

This exactly. OEMs refuse to implement modern versions of Bluetooth that allow file/folder structure browsing from the headunit and then blame the phone owner for using their phone to play the file that they want
