Toyota Prius beats the Honda Fit. It can carry perhaps only slightly less, but its roomier, feels more like a real car, and is far more reliable. Less cost per mile (including tax, depreciation, insurance, tires, maintenance). I did the math extensively before I bought it as my daily driver (I’m a math nerd)

Toyota Prius. Yeah I know it has a reputation as boring to drive, but it really isn’t that boring. Its incredibly reliable, probably the most reliable car sold after the Lexus RX 450h. Hybrids are most reliable; Japanese-made cars are most reliable. My Prius has a cost per mile (including gas, tires, maintenance,…

honest answer what Mitsu needs to do? Make an SUV, perhaps a compact monocoque SUV. Make it very stylish, affordable with good performance worthy of Mitsubishi. Will sell like hotcakes.

There’s incredible potential for the other brands in FCA; only if Jeep/Ram is split up from them. Jeep/Ram is like the hot, overachieving older brother who sucks up all the attention. Imagine if Jeep/Ram was a separate company.

Ambassador used to be a prestigious luxury car for the rich and powerful for the longest time in India. Its current fleet market status was a fall in status after the market was liberalized and modern cars came in. It still has that brand image of being “premium”, being indelibly Indian, a car for powerful people, and…

There are major companies with large factories making three wheelers in India right now. Those rickshaws and three wheeler trucks you saw everywhere in India. Bajaj, Piaggio, TVS, Kerala, Mahindra etc. make tons of three wheelers and could combine a profitable niche market in US with a large bread and butter home…

SAAB SAAB SAAB..let this be the new SAAB.

Instead of a name as wannabe as Lynk&Co, they could’ve used the opportunity to revive a quirky, but brilliant Swedish marque—->SAAB! Who better, who else has more credibility, than Volvo, a Swedish luxury car company to do it? And it would fall perfectly, as quirky European youth-friendly premium cars below Volvo’s…

UNGRAY ME TORCH!!

The sheer size and volatile nature of these batteries make this unlikely. And don’t discount the difference in how different driving styles and regions affect the batteries. For example, Priuses driven in certain regions have a history of needing battery replacements earlier.

I’m getting the feeling that selling Volvo to Geely was the worst mistake Ford (and any Western automaker) ever made. Especially if Lynk&Co makes a better SUV than Lincoln.

Goddamnit. Ungray me already Torch!

As a fan of Toyota, it seems like they are going out of their way to make sure that I never buy a Toyota or a Lexus again. I know they are trying to make their cars “interesting” and “have character”. But Toyotas already have character. Its called boring, reliable, plain vanilla. Sometimes all we want is vanilla…

stop greying me out already! :|

Torch, every time I see you in a video I want to ask, who picks out your clothes for you? Its just so....interesting. Like hobo meets punk meets gearhead meets kindergarten kid.

“I can’t stop rubbing my hands over this. Its such a satisfying curve that we got..”---that’s what god said..upon viewing his Kardashian buttocks.

The Ram 1500 looks like a big hulking guy who just about to f0ck the tiny, mean, hot cheerleader Tesla next to him.

Leeco and Lesee sound like incredibly contrived and ridiculous names. Faraday Future is such an uninteresting ripoff of Tesla’s name.
Jia Yueting on the other hand sounds like a source for an excellent potential brand name. Yueting, sounds like Yuengling, and has a nice ring to it. Jia is acceptable and bland, like…
