GM was slowly dying before COVID19 despite short term profits. You can not bank your future on selling $80,000 trucks to people who don’t really need them, and that’s the position they are in. Cut salaries and stockpile cash, but it’s hard to see this ending well unless GM completely restructures and transforms their…

I don’t like that people will lose their jobs, but at the same time I can count on one hand the number of dealership experiences that I have that I could classify as “positive”. Those experiences only occurred at a single Lexus dealer.

I think they will run out of time before they can fix their brand image unless they completely gut the company quickly. When the only desirable car a company makes is a 13 year old $115k sports car, you don’t deserve to exist. The only reason I would miss Nissan is the death of the GT-R. I would much rather be Mazda ri…

Can’t imagine fumbling around for 14 hours and not finding the mechanical release. I would be ashamed to even admit this happened to me, let alone sue over it. I mean seriously, just start pressing every damn button and latch in the cabin and you’ll probably find your way out in 10 minutes

I disagree, its one of the most broadly talented performance vehicles you can buy. The fact that it can do desert running while having road trip worthy comfort is amazing. If you really wanted to rock crawl, get the short wheelbase version. Also that MPG is entirely reasonable for an off road truck towing.

I agree that DCT will go away in most performance cars. As automatics get better and better, they just make more sense in normal road cars. I don’t buy his point on the American transmissions. The TR6060 has good shift quality in many applications, and I highly doubt it much more than a DCT. He is just trying to…

Notice how Trump specifically targets Mexico, this is entirely due to a combination of cheap labor and NAFTA. He doesn’t care about cars made in countries made with comparable labor rate and normal trade deals. He has completely ignored Canada who produces many cars to sell to Americans and takes advantage of NAFTA.…

The Japanesese have one of the most Xenophobic car markets in the world. Except for European luxury brands, most foreign companies have companies have pretty much given up. Car trade with Japan will always be a one way street which diminishes the value of trade agreements with them. The US market on the other hand is…

I wouldn’t have purchased any of these cars in the first place because they were made in Mexico. I care about American jobs and could care less about Mexican jobs, that is how many people feel. Of course my preference is to purchase Japanese made cars as they are the most well built and reliable in my experience. …

The idea is to level the playing field for American made cars. Europe for instance has significantly higher import tariff’s than the US does. Therefore it cheaper purchase European cars in the US than it is to purchase American cars in Europe. Also, its unlikely American carmarkers will ever regress back to the old…

The difference is the Touareg is not and never was a crossover. It has a stout Dakar proven chassis and a proper longitudinal engine layout. Not to mention a well built and luxurious interior. None of that applies to the Atlas. Which is a minivan on stilts.

I want to see the best driver in a car that can win races. Alonso is the best driver, Mercedes will probably be the best car. Im fully supportive of Alonso joining Mercedes. The ideal scenario is that Mclaren Honda really steps up their car with the new rules and Alonso can start winning some competitive races.

About time. The air quality of European cities is terrible, and diesel NOx emissions and particulates are mostly to blame. Never understood the reverence for diesels on this site, be thankful we have cheap gas and can afford to run big refined reliable naturally aspirated gas engines instead. Of course, diesels with…

The Swedish made XC90's have a lot of quality and reliability problems, I doubt the Chinese cars could be much worse. Why anybody would buy an XC90 over an Audi Q7 is beyond me.

What VW doesn’t understand is that Americans don’t want a German Accord or German Pilot, especially if they are average products. They flushed their reputation down the toilet by selling subpar products for years, now they have to rebuild it. They need to make cars that are better than they competition like Toyota and…

I have a 2000 RX 300. 210k miles, still runs amazingly and is super comfortable. The car in general is a work of ergonomic genius. Super comfortable seats and a lot of useful storage areas.

How the hell is this a thing? Use what the owners manual tells you, end of story. I can’t comprehend why somebody would waste extra money on gas that is not beneficial to their vehicle.

One of the most over engineered and meticulously made modern SUV’s, the LX 570 gets ripped apart. Yet this military vehicle from the 1970's that has a new engine and transmission still holds some level of sadistic appeal? The LX is as reasonable as a minivan compared to this and it is actually well engineered,…

This is a capable luxury SUV that you can beat the shit out of for 300k miles and never let you down. It has the durability of a G-class, the capability of a Range Rover, with Toyota reliablity and build quality. Mentioning an unreliable shitbox Discovery Sport as comparable is a joke. To be fair, I would never buy…

Buy reliable cars. My family has had the following. A 16 year old 206k mile Lexus has required nothing but consumables ignition coil and oxygen sensor. 110k mile Toyota Rav4 has been flawless. 217K mile Toyota never let us down, went through some oil but ran fine when we traded it. 180k mile Toyota Sienna was…
