And that is not anywhere in the same hemisphere as the point.

1st gear: I would think that selling a vehicle with a different state of emissions/efficiency from how it was EPA certified would be illegal. Is this a case of easier to ask forgiveness than permission? Or did GM already certify these without the missing module?

Which is opposite of how people should feel. 1 mpg difference on a truck that averages 17 is a difference of 3.3 gallons used/1000 miles. 1 mpg difference on a car that’s averaging 45 mpg is a difference of less than half a gallon per 1000 miles. You get 7 times the benefit with that single additional mpg in the…

“When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” -C.S. Lewis

I dunno, I’ll take it over rigid “professionalism”.  C-suites are the most uptight group of people on the planet, bad jokes is at least a half step up from that.

A ‘69 GTO and C3 Corvette are far from the worst of the boring boomer cruisers.  It’s not a ‘57 Bel Air or a ‘32 Ford with a 350/350 combo.

I’ve said it before, and I understand the reasons why they may not want to do this, but Apple has more than enough money to outright buy -multiple- current car companies if they really want this to happen. They could buy Mazda outright for less than 5% of just what they have in cash.

The failure here is that Ford has hyped the crap out of the Bronco as a hard-core trail rig, then released the Sport significantly ahead of the full-size Bronco. The Badlands is more capable than the people actually buying it will ever use it for, except for the impatient few who are buying it only because they can’t…

The Q60, coupe to the same Q50 sedan that’s sold as the Skyline over in Japan, is a handsome design, but it’s never quite become a really desirable vehicle.

Is there no shroud over the gauge cluster?  I can’t imagine how bad the glare on that would be.

It was a car that encouraged you to hit a drag strip for the first time

No one complains about someone driving a large sedan that gets 20 mpg to work every day alone, even though that huge backseat is going to waste.

I -love- that this is a hatchback.

Who calls the Z4 Coupe a clown shoe? That term has always been reserved for the Z3.

How compact are we talking? If this is to supplement an eBike, than it seems like you need a vehicle that will cover the opposing use cases, which would be carrying a lot of stuff. Why not one of the newer small vans, like the Ford Transit Connect?
Bonus: if you get the cargo version, it’s that many less windows to…

I’m with you.  They’re terribly ugly.

That Nissan replaced the Juke with the Kicks is a travesty.  The Juke might have polarizing style, but at least you don’t lose it in a parking lot that only has three other cars.

When you say “approximately”, what sort of precision are you working with?  If you’re plus/minus 10^6, then those figures might work out.

Hear, hear. You also need to really look honestly at your listening setup. If you’re in a noisy car, any benefit of lossless will be obscured by wind, engine, and road noise. If you’re using bluetooth, you’re throwing away any gains as soon as the signal gets transmitted (this is the likely reason Apple Music doesn’t…

I simply cannot imagine that anyone who wants a more rugged Subaru is hinging that purchase on brand identity. Spinning off an entire brand just to put a couple inches of ground clearance and bro image on some existing models sounds like the mistake that Dodge pulled when they made SRT its own brand.
