I know, I'm an engineer. Designing a part to fail in a set amount of time is more work than we want to be bothered with (or management wants to fund), so it's more a case of "this design will fulfill it's role for the design life and we can't really be sure about after that", where the design life is set at however…

Buses are easier for a transit authority to operate, but they don't carry the full benefits of light rail (note: light rail includes but is not limited to streetcars, the main distinction being that streetcars run at street level in the flow of traffic and other light rail systems may be separated from car traffic.)

The…

They're not mutually exclusive, the planned obsolescence results in higher parts/labor profits as the used car requires maintenance.

Punctuation matters:
"Your driving pleasure our joy" is butchered English.
"Your driving pleasure, our joy" is a sentence

I see the design language is progressing right on schedule...

Stop it, you're making me want to get a W222 once depreciation hits them hard enough.

I saw the lols coming the moment you said "Guadalajara". Never taken a taxi there, but been subject to their rage, especially when my dad and aunt decided the busy evening when the late workers are getting home/the early partiers are taking taxis to clubs was the best time for my brother to learn stick with me in the…

From the stuff published so far on FIAT's website, it seems the 500X will indeed generally offer "more" (standard A/C on the lowest trim being the most visible example). Whether it's the right kind of "more" to get people to pay is an interesting question.

While true for enthusiasts, I don't see that happening in the wider public, else Town and Countries would have ended production long ago in favor of Grand Caravans.

No fancy anything with the manual. No keyless entry, no dual zone ATC, no 9 speakers....I mean come on, none of that shit affects the engine.

The Landy is nearly a foot and a half shorter.

Here you go.

Small caveat to the free paper copy: it only applies once to the original purchaser. So if you buy a recent used FCA-car and the previous owner never bothered to do so, you don't get the manual for free unless you're willing to print the PDF from the brand's website.

It qualifies as a lemon, not automatically a full replacement. A couple years ago, I had to lemon law my car for a non-critical (meaning not life-threatening) fault with the radio. Settlement was a completely new radio and a lump sum payment for the trouble. Had I not taken the settlement, it would have gone to court…

Obviously a state-by-state issue, but many states I know of it's the opposite of what you're thinking: you can't collect unemployment if you quit, but can if you're fired. That's why companies prefer to dick around with a worker's hours and shifts (if variable hours/shifts are industry-norm) in order to try and…

"Not Recommended". I don't have an actual source, but my Dart with the exact same powertrain setup doesn't recommend towing with the 1.4T (its 2.4L gets a 1000 lb rating). Honestly, you wouldn't want the 1.4T for towing, either; you'd have to slip the clutch a fair bit to get a trailer moving, doubly so with a hill,…

Unlikely the cross-play extends to FPS for precisely this reason. It's not the first time MS has investigated this, and FPS always lean to PC's favor.

...is this legal? If it passed all the tests, what's stopping BMW from making it a special-order option like the late manual Ford Fusion?

The regular Active Tourer, I like. That photo is the 7-passenger Gran Tourer...which I also like.

Chrysler wins for three reasons everyone always overlooks:
