You're ignoring all the comments right here from people bitching about how public transit doesn't go near them, they hate sharing a bus with smelly people, they hate subsidies, etc.

That's a small trunk with the rear seats up, but I think I could make some sacrifices for a Ferrari FF.

I think a lot of Impreza/Outback Sport owners may realistically trade in their cars for the 2012 model. It's the first genuine advance for the line in over a decade and few other car manufacturers even make small AWD cars. Surprisingly, car reviewers don't hate the Lineartronic transmission.

Nice find, so much more character than an Audi A3 or A4 quattro sportwagon. Too big to trade my '98 Impreza hatchback, though.

The fault lies in you. When the un-car-loving majority thoughtlessly bought crappy-handling obese dangerous view-blocking gas-guzzling Exploder SUVs, we car fans were disappointed, but didn't obsess over it. Now that some of them are thoughtfully buying a crappy-handling practical reliable mid-sized hatchback with the…

Nigel Tufnel also announced the return of controversial Chris Bangle as worldwide BMW design chief, saying "We embrace the Bangle Butt! Big bottom, big bottom, Talk about mud flaps, my girl's got 'em. Big bottom drive me out of my mind; How could I leave this behind?"

The Ginetta is conceptually just like the many and various Marcos and early Noble cars: a unique vaguely attractive but uninspiring body wrapped around a tuned production V6, made in small numbers (Ginetta only plan to sell 50 a year) for less than supercar prices.

Here is GM's latest talk on Volt sales from Brita Gross, the director of electric vehicle infrastructure and commercialization at General Motors, from an online chat today:

Get it right.

Of course batteries shrink in mass. That 37 kW·h pack will weigh 1.48 millionths of a gram less by the end of the race. E=mc^2 , it's the law!

A big battery pack that's 50% down on charge can still be used in stationary applications, and then it will be recycled because it's full of valuable non-toxic lithium. And you are crazy if you think the "environmental problem" from making a few hundred pounds of batteries is remotely equivalent to the pollution from…

You're describing what engine propulsion might be like in a decade, but there's no demand to get there. On the one hand, petrolheads won't like a car with an overengineered contraption constantly puttering away to keep an electricity buffer full.

So an electric car with 120 mile range would work fine for you, assuming you live in a multi-car household as most Americans do.

Yes, dropping the Escape Hybrid is strange, 30 city mpg for an AWD SUV is impressive. Toyota hasn't announced anything below the RX450h and Highlander Hybrid.

The car is so low yet it has such a large greenhouse. Damn you modern cars with your gun-slit apertures!

Actually Tesla did briefly make an operating profit selling Roadsters back in July 2009, but wants to be a real car company making and selling a range of models as fast as possible, hence its hundreds of millions of dollars in expenditures (in the USA) dwarfing its income ever since.

The Model S's battery pack is a big thin slab below the floor and its motor is between the rear wheels. I think the the battery management and motor-regen controller electronics are low and near the rear axle. It's really well laid out and nothing like the Roadster and other EVs with big lumps intruding into the…

Wow, I've never seen a new E-series wagon or the previous W211, I assumed M-B had given up after the handsome W210 wagon. I guess its dealers are busy selling three crappy GLGLKM SUV models and the Geländewagen to unthinking buyers.

The government gives him money to build electric cars

The DB9R has had orange and yellow lipstick around its mouth in the recent past, it's all quite disturbing. The Porsche GT3 RS keeps its mouth shut and lets its bright orange or lipstick red wheels do the talking.
