Thank you for a proper answer! I’d assume that general laws would dictate for victims of a felony to be compensated if harmed financially; but, this is all aboug not taking logic consequences for granted.

Colourful consumer protection is, astonishingly, less exciting than the more grey-ish "law section this and that gives you the following rights"...

Is there no general customer protection for car purchases in the US? If you buy from a professional seller and they hid important info from you - flood damage, a tired clutch, a tampered odo - you as a customer should *always* be entitled to return the car in exchange for your money. Period.

Lovely post! We bought a Honda Stream out of necessity, and it ended up being the car we’ve owned the longest - 7 years. When I finally let it go, I sold it for 500$, in Norway, where cars are 2-3x more expensive than the US. New owner wrecked it six months later. But the abuse this vehicle took during our ownership -…

Marvellous!

That already sounds like one of the better Gizmodo articles of the year.

I just don’t understand why Cadillacs always need to look like a British Leyland engineer was forced to attend a course at the Soviet academy of car styling and had to deliver a scetch after week one.

Maybe philosophy needs to be teached in basic elementary schools already. Understanding how a pro/con-argument works, identifying real facts from loudmouthing, and doing a proper risk assessment all fall in under the human history of thinking. Which seems absent here for a bit.

Phil Valentine comes to mind...and many more idiots, really.

Oh gawd that one was a hurtful scene. You can get an insurance payment, but you can't make this right again. Ouch!

Just dig the road a little deeper. It will be a flooding trap, but that's much easier.

American bridges seem to be wandering around just smacking cars off trailers. Infrastructure grade D, indeed. Possibly detention.

Toyota is really nailing it with colours recently. Very, very cool green!

Right? I'm annoyed I even clicked on this "article". This blog used to have standards.

Is there a Jeep that isn't worthy of the "holy grail" moniker to Mr. Tracy? Someone gift him a Kia Elan, please. 

This was interesting to scroll through...Kia, Hyundai, Kia - then a BMW. You could have gone all in on a Korean EV, too, just to provoke a few more comments. 🤪

I want to like those, but after test driving them with the same shitty, life-force-suckening CVT as similar 'yodas, I couldn't bring myself to buy one.

Obligatory S90 executive ad:

That fast charger map is bogus. Norway and, basically, most of Scandinavia, are brimming with fast chargers. Yet, I see no "blue dot", which I guess are supposed to show fast chargers? They still have a decent point. We have charged our Leaf on 8A/250V for years.

Whenever I actually access the outdoors in a car (instead of just hiking on, you know, my feet), it's on hydropower access roads. Wrap your head around that. 🤪 There's no reason I can come up with why a BEV shouldn't be just as useful as an ICE car, so please add sole arguments to your commentary.
