Flush the toilet.

At this point, put him in charge of the EU, I say. He can fix anything.

These are just allegations, he could be very innocent but otherwise I agree.

End of an era. Holy cow.

You're right, it's exactly the same, guns have so many practical uses besides killing people. Especially submachine guns, those are great for hunting and pest control.

You know, I care very little about how much space is in there, but just because you ride in the back seat of a cruiser doesn't mean you committed a crime. That's why we have due process and why police aren't allowed to act like we live in Cuba or Russia or Syria and can do whatever the hell they want to people they…

I agree about Chevy's brand (and it's not exactly stellar in the US), but I know they basically aren't making money with Opel anyway. I meant a drastically reduced presence, and a change of badge basically to sidestep all the nationalistic employment concerns. Basically, Europe is looking over-saturated and…

GM's results aren't good, but both Ford and GM explicitly wanted to cut share and improve profitability. So I don't think the market share numbers are the relevant ones. Ford is doing fine, iirc and sticking to the plan. It's GM that's all over the map with bad profitability, confusion about Opel and still trying…

Since everyone else is just continuing the argument, i'm impressed that Mazda has genuinely new engine tech, for such a small company, it's a real achievement.

How is this mini? This isn't Mini, this is a x1 series.

Well, starting a few years ago, it was California's emissions regulations that ended diesel cars. Honda supposedly had a diesel super engine to fix this economically, but that vapourware never materialized, which is suspicious imo. Regardless, that's why Mercs and VWs here both have BlueTec (which uses an additive…

I don't get it. GM is supposed to have smaller share. That's why they axed Pontiac, Hummer, Saturn and ... oh yeah ... Saab.

The US line-up is completely different. The mighty Crown Vic can go a decade without rust around here, I was simply amazed when my old electrician showed up in one and I realized based on the grill that it was from the 90s. With no rust. In upstate NY. I was amazed, frankly. My other ford truck and cars didn't…

Hybrid ... Texas-style!

Jalopnik dream garage nomination! I don't think there's a hashtag for that.

I'm seriously considering this. How long have you had it? What's the maintenance like?

"As of today, no car has had the impact on personal mobility that the Beetle did during its 65 years of production."

Too much has been invested for it to succeed! Every year Tesla stumbles along the tech is closer to actually being real world usable, right? The model nowadays with tech is for the big companies to acquire promising talent/tech from floundering startups like Tesla.

Mazda's got a lot of life left. I am more and more impressed with the new engine tech, it's a real breakthrough and someone will want to partner with them. They've always been a niche player, but the technology 'arms race' in car-making is just crazy now. I believe the Fiat rumour because Sergio is very smart and…

I'm going to split the difference here. Toyota makes reliable well-engineered cars as a rule, with some exceptions, obviously. But the rest of the world caught up, now they're usually just more boring cars.
