Nice to finally see people catching on to the responsiveness of Toyota’s hybrid setups. Even my 2010 3rd gen Prius, if you put it in sport and the engine braking mode, it turns into a shockingly enjoyable, decently handling, responsive little nugget for use in the twisties.

Everyone is rightfully mocking this heap for being too delicate to go through a car wash in the daytime, but I would like to once again point out the absolute idiocy of having every single control routed through a single, apparently extremely shitty, touchscreen.  Not only can’t you drive it, but when someone asks…

The Toyota issue was also largely concluded to be an issue of user error, whereas this seems to be a design and manufacturing flaw.

The Macan is already a pretty great car. Why this over say a Taycan Cross Turismo EV?

Taycan Turbo’s been around for years. This is nothing new. It doesn’t make it right; just an observation.

EV owners, like all people, are all over the map. But there does seem to be a disproportionate number of entitled arrogant Tesla owners (perhaps overcompensating for their shame now that many of them realize they spent $70,000 on a MAGA hat on wheels that is constantly under recall and is increasingly considered…

I’m an EV owner. I am neither laid back nor am I friendly. I’m quite often smug, and on occasion am insufferable and/or clueless. That said, if you get to a charging station before me, and you can plug in and charge, first come first served.

I was on a horrible flight where a guy kept turning around in his seat and glaring at us every time my kid kicked the back of his seat, and all the other passengers shushed my crying baby! It upset me so much, I could barely even clip my toenails!

Why is your one example proof of that?

The one time I flew frontier, nothing bad happened but it’s frontier.

Cars are built according to their color, visit on any given day and all the cars going down the assembly line are the same color. The time it takes to switch the pain booth from one color to another is fixed. So if you’re going to paint 100 cars that color or 10,000 that changeover time, which isn’t quick, is divided…

hmm, wouldn’t it be great if you could take all these fractional pennies and deposit it in a bank account. it’s a rounding error for the companies, they’ll never miss it.

Well, in defense of the sign, they were advertising unleaded gas, and it implies a comparison to leaded gas. I can’t find energy density numbers for regular unleaded vs. leaded at similar octane, but for comparison, G100UL fuel is available to replace 100LL fuel for aircraft - same octane rating there, and G100UL has…

Or have a standard s204 as well and use ot for emission testing only. Just slap the sticker on amg version. Problem solved.

No but the C240 was available as a wagon in the US just a few years before. So they were probably trying to get it in as a believable car that way.

Hyundai is the parent company to Kia. You really think there’s a difference?

Kia started calling the Soul a crossover, though.
