That's how statistical averages work. You personally may not be affected, but the next guy over who you never talk to

Wow. And I thought my Dart had issues...I've only had problems with the head unit (replaced twice when it failed and took out damn near everything not needed to drive the car, used it as a lemon law case and got compensation, kept the car) and the passenger sun visor just broke the other day with 36k miles on it.…

Helmet laws are universally fought by the American Motorcyclist Association and ABATE groups. Lanesplitting is considered a regional issue and left largely alone. While AMA and other groups applaud lanesplitting in California, they don't care enough to support bills elsewhere; they were notably absent from the…

In my area it's a pretty even mix of all trims.

You just described a JKU. Why do you need two Jeeps to do the same thing?

I don't like painting with such a broad stroke. New cars have the peace of mind that there is nothing nasty hidden in their history and should work reliably up to a point. (We can get into bad eggs, bathtub curves, and build quality if you want, but it is generally true that for two identical cars, one new one used,…

Recent design trends in car lighting make me go hnnnnnng.

I remember something during the Tennessee fight that some local laws make the UAW the one game in town. I'm sure IG Metall could find a semi-way around it

The general public gets comfort from AWD. Actual results be damned.

The frame is made of adamantium.

"Too close in size" means "we'll lose F-150 sales to the lower-profit Ranger and possibly lose the 'Best Selling Truck' label even though we earn the title by combining everything into an 'F-Series' and claiming the sales win but we can't rename the Ranger to F-100 to keep the title because then Ranger fans will…

A Forbes article about the 500X unveiling quoted the FIAT brand CEO stating a sales figure in the US of 60,000 cars annually

And I know what the paperwork said. It wasn't a rebate.

It was substantially discounted. Out the door it was about $3k less than the MSRP of a new one. And this is a sub-$20k compact to start with.

No argument, but working for the federal government means IT has locked us out of installing programs ourselves and we're therefore forced into whatever programs are whitelisted. IE only for browsers.

Shouldn't it be the CTS in this chart? The XTS serves an altogether different purpose.

You'd have had an aneurysm with my girlfriend's car. It had just under 1,000 miles on it. Also sorry for the double post, I meant to delete the other one but got posted anyways. Kinja doesn't like IE very much.

My custom ordered car came with 10. Others on the lot had 70 and a notice in the glove compartment that they had been randomly selected after assembly for controlled weather testing for quality assurance purposes. My girlfriend's car had just under 1,000 miles on it from test drives and being shuffled around the lot.

Both letters state that GM is working on a software update solve the issue, although how they'll do it remains to be seen (maybe yet another legal disclaimer on the screen?), but the real question is: How did GM's legal department not see this coming?
