Because people love to watch a trainwreck.

The ironic thing is, you can dress up the pickup truck in all the leather, suede, chrome and stitching you want, and it will still have the blocky knobby interior pieces of the $30k work truck, with controls sized for work gloves. It will never have the interior design of a car whose primary mission is to indulge the…

Aside from all the union woes, isn’t the Blazer also wretchedly overpriced?

The 308 GTB (and by extension the 288 GTO which, although a very different car underneath, basically looks like a 308 with a body kit) gets my vote for the most beautiful sports car ever designed.

They should, when their customers complain about it enough. Cars are always designed to comply with regulations.  How far you are willing to compromise the looks depends on what kind of car.

Italy does this.

Honestly that’s Ferrari’s problem, not the government’s. If your customers hate the way front plates look on your cars, then you need to style your cars differently. That front clip has plenty of available blank space.

I’ve said this in other places, but IMO this whole debate about front plates stems from the fact that US states are inconsistent with regulations and enforcement.

I hate that argument about cell phones and Starbucks. Those add up to about three days of Uni costs in the US.

If you can elaborate what “3.2% GDP” means, you might have half of an argument out of the 3 other lies.

Yes.

The hilarious thing is, F355s are not even that sought-after.  I put 10k miles on mine over 4 years, and values stayed flat for me.  Driving it certainly was more important than keeping miles down, it even makes the car more reliable.

The Corvette has to go younger, or die.  And being the excellent sports car that it has been for the past 30 years, killing off the Corvette does nobody any good.

The 4C engine has a bit more history than the Quadrifoglio’s Ferrari-based V6.  Just FWIW.

Hong Kong is a different story for another day—yes, the sheeple and fake news are just as big a problem there as here, but the historical and political environment is totally different.

This. Trump’s true weakness is that he isn’t actually the business success that he sells himself as. Nobody can get much more than an angry tweet out of him regarding his performance in the PotUS office—he doesn’t really care about running the country. But he will notice if you knock his pocketbook or tweet a mean one…

They’ll just turn right around and justify the use of the N-word.  “It doesn’t have any literally derogatory meanings, it’s a historical word, black people use it all the time on each other,” and so on.

You won that night.

FCA would have done well to sniff out this car well ahead of C&D’s writeup. This car was an obvious lemon and should have been replaced by FCA. I doubt that it ever got fixed right.

This car was clearly a lemon. FCA should have offered to exchange it for a better-built car. Instead, they let journalists stew at their local dealer service department—bad move, as Fiat, Alfa Romeo and Maserati’s dealer network are extremely spotty. Bad service and long parts lead times will only add downtime and…
