The 1.4T in the Fiat 124 seems like it’s riding the line of “this is a performance model, promise” and that car weighs all of 2500 lbs. The 3000 lbs Civic better have some amazing factory tuning to be the fastest Si they’ve made.

Now you’re getting it (but you still didn’t get the joke).

No, no, no. Audi only designed a super low emissions setting for when the cars are idling or crawling around. You know, like when you are teaching your toddler-age grand kid to drive around your 14 acre estate. It’s not their fault the government testing method is so poor at replicating real-world driving conditions…

That would be great, if any car could tow. I have yet to own a car that can tow (except for the trucks that didn’t need a trailer, because they were truck).

Firstly, yes, American-made Toyotas are sub-standard to Japanese-made Toyotas.

Oh no, I misspelled a word! The rest of my comment is equally as flawed, therefore proving my stupidity. You got me. You’re a genius who definitely doesn’t misspell anything... ever.

“Congratulations on purchasing your new car, wkiernan. Now that your paperwork is done, let’s go over some of the functions. Down here [points to traditional analog controls] you can see you have your buttons for HVAC, radio, parking brake, etc. Up here [points to touch screen] you can set your mood lighting…

Yeah. Audi and others also used touch pads, but not with a cursor on the screen. There is certainly room for improvement. But touch screens are definitely not the solution. Touch screens are a good back-up option. As one commenter pointed out. Mazda’s system allows for both and the touch screen can come in handy for…

So what you’re saying is you’re okay putting controls you never use on a touch screen, but because touch screens are such a terrible idea for use in cars, you would not want touch screens used to control things you regularly access (like HVAC).

We need laptop-style mouse pads that allow you to navigate the screen by touch without having to reach for the screen. We lose dexterity and precision when our arms are extended, rather than resting comfortably on a surface near us. We are all used to mice and touch pads that allow us to navigate screens a couple of…

In Gulf Blue? Weird.

Actually, I subscribe to this rule.

Okay, but bringing jobs back at what cost? If the product is no longer affordable, people will buy the affordable competitor. If all competitors are charged outrageous prices for products not made in the U.S., then no foreign-made product is affordable and many Americans won’t be able to buy any of the…

Unless he was using a foreign object (and I’m not talking about one of his employees), I am confident Trump has never hurt anyone via penetration.

I agree. I would have leaned toward Fiesta if it weren’t for the bulky hockey gear, but the Focus makes a more practical car.

But there are tons of 12 year old CPO cars!/s

I like how you made zero good points. 99% of new car buyers aren’t in the market for a Corvette. Those who have the money for a Corvette can get a great deal on one right now. Financing is cheap and easily available with an average credit score. Paying cash does not help you get a better price on a car (the opposite…

This is the first I’ve heard of this. But then, I have a cramped, windowless office pretty far away from all my coworkers, and they all seem pretty busy when I make my hourly trips to the water cooler in a desperate search for chit chat.

When I meet an idiot at work, I feel bad about myself, because the company obviously has lower hiring standards than I would like to believe, leading me to question my own qualifications.

Can you enjoy your car? Sure. Great that you do.
