Considering the 400-horsepower Nissan Z starts at $42,970, and the 486-hp 5.0-liter Mustang can be had for $42,460, the Supra is still a pretty hard sell to the enthusiast

I currently am splitting miles between my 2019 Volkswagen Alltrack (58,000 miles) and my 2017 Mini Cooper 2-door Hardtop S (38,000 miles).

The Audi A4 and VW Passat share the same platform for years

100% this. VW invested in Rimac, and not only did Rimac survive, but Bugatti got better. If anything, VW needs help with simplifying their EVs, software, and making Trucks Americans Actually Will Buy™ since the Amarok wouldn’t sell here even if there wasn’t a Chicken Tax.

Honestly, if NYPD just regularly enforced parking rules consistently throughout the NYC, I bet you’d see almost as much of a reduction in cars as congestion pricing was supposed to cause. You constantly hear stories about cars parked illegally for long periods or with thousands of dollars of tickets and little ever…

Many of our streets are far too wide, looking more like highways that happen to have lower speed limits

This. It really doesn’t matter why someone is in the road, you’re still not supposed to hit them with your car.

you can’t fault someone who didn’t see a pedestrian where a pedestrian was not supposed to be.

The GTI 380 trim is the only one left with the manual, but 2024 is the last year they’ll offer it.

I’d say it’s more in line with the refreshed Sportwagen than anything on sale today

No matter where you are in the country right now, it’s hot. (Wrong. —Ed.)

in-car scent,

In hindsight, the Spark was a great name that worked for both the ICE and EV version of that car.

“if comparable it is no longer Bugatti”

Watching how well the Honda Fit, Smart fortwo, and Scion iQ hold their values in cities tells me there is still a market for small, slow, practical vehicles in the US. I think the real question is: would people want this as their only car?

My go-to strategy for over a decade has been to run most of my stuff in a hard-sided roller bag that fits in the overhead compartment, and a small duffel bag to put down with my feet.

I’m 6-foot-8-inches tall with a 40-inch inseam, so I’m pretty far from the archetype that most cars are designed around, and yet I fit perfectly inside my car.

Is “Signia” a word? I know “insignia”, which would certainly follow other car brands with “Signature” editions, but just “signia” sounds half baked

The lone Cybertruck I’ve spotted in person was on the floor of the Gowanus Tesla store, and I only got the briefest glimpse as I rode past on my bike. Some other New York-based Jalops have lost Cyberstruck by now, but here in Brooklyn we seem to be blissfully free of the stainless steel eyesores.

Honestly, it’s because there isn’t anything like them to replace them. You see Smarts and Scion iQs holding value way longer than they should /for what they are given that there hasn’t been a new version of either for years.
