Since Subaru seems dead set on not bringing back a hatchback WRX, can they just make a wagon version of this instead?

Your initial statement. While the term “only a small proportion” is subjective, the percentage of claims that are confirmed by the EPA is not something I would consider to be a “small proportion.” Especially when you consider the fact that the majority of vehicles that the EPA gets results for are, at a minimum,…
Misuse of “zipper-merging.” I don’t mean people cutting over too soon and slowing up traffic in this way, I mean people treating non zipper-merge scenarios as if they are one.
You might wanna fact check yourself on that one....
I really wish this wasn’t accurate...
If I were part of the EPAs effort to restructure their emissions testing procedures, these guys would be pretty high on the list of people I’d want working on the issue. These guys uncovered a cheat that most people in the industry assumed was there but could never prove, despite the fact that they were working with…
Texting and driving. I’m not sure if it’s been getting consistently worse everywhere or if it’s just especially bad in Michigan, but it’s graduated from the rapid glances up and down that it used to be to people straight up taking their eyes off the road for 5-10 seconds straight on the highway.

At least to the untrained eye (as in to me) the situations that Tesla, Netflix, and Uber are all in seem very different. Yes Tesla has had some serious issues with turning a regular profit (partially due to its recirculation of funds into its R&D), but they show both the potential to quickly generate large profits…
I appreciate the analogy, but that isn’t CR’s reasoning at all. It’s predicted as “average” because it’s a new model launch being compared to mature vehicles. That rating will likely go up over time as they work out the kinks in the vehicle, similar to the trend on the Model S’s rating.
1) I was saying developing predicted reliability ratings do make sense, I think you misread what I posted.
It’s more akin to having seen multiple movies by a particular director and having spoken to a few people that have seen the new movie, and making an informed estimate as to what your thoughts would be on it based upon this information.

Exactly, even the most aggressive industries are making decisions based off a 5+ year outlook. This kind of policy essentially flat-lines any growth and technical advancement in the US. Really the best case scenario if this were to pass would an immediate transition of all US corporation’s research efforts to a more…
Provisions like the 5-year review and the constant threats of withdraw provide zero potential benefit to American businesses, and I can only hope that Republican lawmakers take notice of the negative side-effects looming over their constituents and begin to take action against Trump. At this point he’s shown that he…
To be fair they did leave massacre out of the name at least.
This ^. It really isn’t surprising that a supplier was delivering out of spec (although the scope seems remarkable), what is surprising is the fact that all of these companies, especially Boeing, failed to discover/address the issue immediately.
