“So, why don’t the automakers just follow the CARB rules and thus would be complying with the US Federal rules?”

Simply because the headline is false and prima facie asinine - far from taking a stand on climate change or some such Gawker nonsense, automakers just want a harmonized set of regulation as not to increase…

the biggest problem with the solara was that Honda made the accord v-6 coupe at the same time which is honestly better looking

I had a Solara with the 200hp V6 and a 5 speed and it was a great car for late teenage to twenties. Was it meh? Maybe a little but if you optioned one right with leather and the spoiler it was a pretty sweet ride. Plus you could pack 3 or 4 friends in easily and go on adventures. In base spec and in beige as…

The TC was the “Not a Celica” Celica. Not a Solara.

(“OMG THATS AMAZING !”, “I CANT BELIEVE ITS ONLY A 4…

Quit bragging about your fancy new cars...

How about proving your car enthusiast creds and writing an article about how the price of fuel is worth it to enjoy whatever cars/trucks we enjoy? You all spend so much time mocking people for buying what they like if it’s not what you drive. The time has come to discuss the joy factor. Jeremy Clarkson once said years…
