+1 I remember that now.

Remember the e-Tron is over 2x the price of Model 3/Y. The base level Teslas may have started out as competition for BMW, but they are very much being built as high volume cars to compete with Accord, Camry, RAV4 types of vehicles.

I went to test drive a 1st-gen TSX and immediately thought, “this is a Honda Accord” the instant I sat in it. This car, at least, seems a bit different than an Accord with a nice stereo.

Come sail the Gigaton of the Seas — a ship so big that you’ll never need to look at the water!

My prediction:

You complain about the Toyotas’ styling, while the Challenger screams “I just enlisted in the Army and signed 15 year loan paperwork!”

Dense areas can afford to power and maintain highway lights, but probably have too much traffic for your desired unrestricted speeds. Rural areas cannot afford to power and maintain the lighting infrastructure.

Showing vehicles do this on the LV strip is *so* dumb and tacky.

The article you posted specifically states that its numbers are inaccurate. I’ve never heard of “govtech” but I have heard of The Verge, which lists Waymo crashes as either 2 or 18:

All the airlines are trying to maximize profit by screwing the customer as much as possible. Now Boeing realizes it’s missing this part of ‘shareholder value’!

A miata with a V12 logo would be pretty hilarious, but I agree that all the Ferrari badges would be really tacky. Maybe if they were spelled Feerarri or something it would help :)

I remember getting a phone quote for a 4x wheel disk brake replacement on a *Buick* about ~10 years ago and it was > $800 from the dealer.

*You* might be good enough to drive at 100mph because you understand now a car works and are young enough to have a good reaction time. Now put a bunch of other idiots on the road who do not know how to drive, or are driving crappy equipment beyond it’s capabilities (i.e. poor maintenance, lifted trucks, etc) and…

1. Putting a fancy brand name on the glass exterior surface of a car screen does not make it a luxury screen. This thing is inferior in any measurable way to a $1000 ipad Pro.

No cars over 70hp until he earns every single dollar of the MSRP while working at a job that’s not owned by a parent or friend.  If he could handle it, I’d also have him do 100 hours of volunteer time in a morgue helping with traffic deaths.

As cool as it would be, no one is going to buy a $65K (??) Mustang-based Lincoln. I know they sell ~80K/year, but can’t think of the last time I saw a Lincoln that wasn’t a rideshare / black-cab type situation

For the US,

Can we have a “Ultimate Jalopnik Headline Competition”???

The concept had a hydrogen fuel cell along with a battery, so it may be a ‘hybrid’ drivetrain. It’ll also be in the running for “Most Complicated Vehicle Drivetrain 2023". I’d hate to see what it would cost to replace a hydrogen fuel cell in a vehicle that is only made in quantities ~20.

Montana?
