“One could argue an economic system based on merchants and crafts guilds during the middle ages was a golden age of labor. One can also argue against that, too. Who knows, maybe one day there will be an IT guy guild or an environmental justice activist guild.”

The apologist has spoken.

Takes one to know one lol.

My car. It awaits me.

What does a “hill of indignation” look like?

Depends on the three paragraphs. 

Your two cents was more like a buck fitty....

All these cars would be parked next to it in the Applebee’s. And none of them have a SUPERCHARGER.

The engineers designed the railing to recreate Slim Whiman’s Indian Love Call.

After watching many hours of COPS, I consider myself to be an expert on high-speed pursuits. Most perps (that’s cop slang for “perpetrators”) rabbit (that’s cop slang for “flee”) because of an expired driver’s license or unpaid citations.  Typically not crime kingpins.

You may be right — I’m tossing up a theory to see if it sticks. I’m no expert, and neither are the rest of the commentators in this thread.

Autopilot may have done its job perfectly.

I would buy it just for the design which I think is fantastic. I would not buy for the engineering; it’s basically a Chevy Chevette.

Also, Go Media is the worst user experience on the Internet. Jalop staff have no business complaining until they fix their owned busted interface.

Agreed. Compound this by an NHTSA imposing ever-increasing safety standards which make cars heavier (more steel) and/or more expensive (aluminum/composites).

Your entire argument is based on personal beliefs. When the best selling car in the world is a half-ton pickup, then the market is not too terribly concerned about fuel efficiency.

Your daily reminder that the Ford F-150 is the best selling “car” in the world. Jalopnik already posted an article about how truck sales in general remain strong despite the pandemic.

The EU standards are so ridiculous they will cause a financial meltdown. Several automakers have already acquiesced to paying billions in penalties that cannot afford. 

Joe USED to drive a Corvette. Now he drives a mobility scooter. 

Perhaps on your side of the pond. U.S. market was the 1600 cc Kent engine. Ate heads like nobody’s business.
