But...the Hyperloop is just a different form of "high speed rail"....

What gets some people riled up about stuff like this is the catenary lines. Some view them as eyesores, not to mention the problem it would cause if a storm knocks down the lines, so Sweden experimenting on hiding them underground would be an interesting option. Go cheap and have them visible, or spend more and bury…

They are. Not sure on the GLA, but the X1 exceeded BMW's gloomy expectations something like threefold. Even on bad months they've sold 1,000, and the peak was over 4,000 sold last March.

The A6 Avant left after the 2011 model year. The A4 Avant left at the end of 2012, and the new allroad was introduced for 2013.

That last one can't possibly be real. How dumb oes a person have to be to make such a threat in a post-9/11 world?

Concepts aren't as interesting to me as future vehicles, and to get those your local show just has to get big enough. The Pittsburgh Auto Show used to be like that until Ford took notice and sent the new Mustang and F-150 out to us last year, along with BMW bringing some Euro-spec i3's for test drives. (The show is in…

Hello there! Fellow newbie (have my M endorsement for two years, but sadly no bike).

Can we talk about how annoying this screen will be on a dark road if they forget to put in a black-background dark-icons "night mode"?

They're not. Your dealer is offering something insane (and probably including all sorts of discounts like recent graduate, active military, etc). Lowest lease in my area is above $300/mo.

No need to win the lottery, the predicted residuals on them are crap. I know Australia's different, but the US model

Yes, yes, not that I saw.

They help the passengers not feel boxed in. I sat in one, and the front is fine with the window line but had it continued to the back the rear seats would have felt more tank-like than even a Camaro. It's the least BMW could do for rear passengers, since the suicide door opening is still a bit tight and the rear…

BMW is guilty of this, but in a worse way. You're probably familiar with the auto shifter in BMWs now:

You are incredibly wrong.

The forced to join a union bit is actually a current battle important to both sides because of a federal law that says the unions must represent everyone in their shop, even non-members. The anti-unionists are pushing for right-to-work laws and making union membership optional knowing full well that a significant…

Wage inequality is the ballooning of top executive's salaries and bonuses as the lower rungs still have to live off a minimum wage that needs adjustment as well as seeing their benefits get cut. Seeing as how corporations have posted record profits in recent years with matching CEO/CFO/top position bonuses that are…

Am engineer in government job. Actually getting paid better in government than private industry, but that's how it goes when the private company is a mismanaged place. Also because I live in a non-major city for engineers. Would be paid better if I was in NYC or Boston or somesuch place.

Trust me, the PA truck plates don't mean much. The only change an owner would see is a higher annual registration cost based on vehicle weight rather than the flat fee cars pay. Licensure requirements are the same.

Nope, I'm refuting damnthisburnershitsux. He says carjacking attempts like in the article don't happen in states with concealed carry/stand your ground laws. He then posts links of attempted carjackings in concealed carry/stand your ground states. Ergo, he's wrong. Carjacking attempts do happen in the areas he claims…

You just proved shit like this does happen in states with stand your ground/high concealed carry. If it didn't, the deaths wouldn't have happened as it wouldn't have been attempted.
