Even though sedans aren’t totally dead yet, they were effectively replaced sometime in the last 10 years by the mighty Crossover. The default global car for a long time has been the Corolla, which is the best selling car model in history. You cannot understate the brand equity with that!  So when Toyota developed the

Wireless CarPlay/AA is already taking root. It’s only a matter of time before basic cars won’t require you to physically plug in your phone for connectivity.

The SSR was definitely a weird, retro cruiser for an extremely narrow market.  I would love to have seen the business case for this car.

I don’t particularly care for the SSR, but I realize it is much more than a “specs” car.  Nobody bought it because it was a speed value.

Are you suggesting anyone that gets hit while in another vehicle’s blind spot deserves what’s coming?  That’s messed up.

I dislike blacked out lights and squats not because they look dumb, but because they are also dangerous.

Whoa...that’s a Pontiac? Wow, that guy is driving excitement!

Or this shit. 3 logos stacked up!

In some states it is illegal.  Rightfully so.

Ah but you see, now the car is worth $21.89 more. Money well spent!

If I ever suffer a terrible life tragedy that plunges me into alcoholism and then one day I have an awakening and decide to drop the bottle and reset my life trajectory, my new reason for living will to be a vigilante for dangerous lighting.

2. I question how many public chargers are truly needed at any given time. Imagine how many fewer gas stations there would be if every home had a pump in the garage. A big portion of EV owners charge at home, reducing the need to have to charge on the road.

I realize the Model Y can be optioned with a 3rd row, but calling it a “3 row SUV” is stretching things quite a bit.

I think the themes of power, freedom, convenience and the relatively low cost of fuel are big factors in the US truck market.

Yeah, he had some very sketchy road trip stories for sure.

One part of me thinks, “there’s no way 30 different people accidentally drove into this lake!”.

That’s what I’m wondering! And no, those aren’t houses they appear to be businesses.

Even if you managed to sink 30 cars undetected, I’m wondering about the logistics of rolling that many cars into a lake and keep them sufficiently submerged. You’d need a lot of shoreline (roll cars into the lake side by side, all in a row), or a really deep lake (not likely in coastal FL), or a big, obvious boat to

In 2017 I bought a new Mazda6 Touring with the manual transmission. Because of the reasons you listed, I really wish Mazda would have offered the GT with a manual. Mazda didn’t even offer package options on the Touring (Adaptive Lighting, Bose stereo) unless you picked the automatic.
