The [Opel] plant was benchmarked against PSA’s flagship plant in Sochaux, France and was found to be building cars at twice the cost

Maybe if the new bikes didn’t look like some unholy hybrid of the Big Dog and Sean John lines from the 2000s, they’d stand a chance at selling

the muted greys and browns were constantly highlighted by pink, aqua and red hues from under the infotainment trim band and air vents, producing a conflicted look. You have 64 color options if you’re willing to take the time to get it right.

I don’t know if this is the case, but I’d be hard pressed to begin a career in trucking when autonomous hauling is seemingly right around the corner

The CR-Z is the car that enthusiasts seem to hate

With the amount of power that a proper modern sports car makes, it’s a wonder to me that people still care about the specific 0-60 time. Almost all of them are fast af. I’ll add a third of a second to that time in order to shift my own gears any day

That’s the thing. They just don’t make anything other than cheap mid to full size crossovers. Back in 2008 during cash for clunkers, basically the only American car that met the qualifications was the 2 generations old Focus! 

Dude, what happened to any of those sweet small Japanese concept cars of late? The retro Hondas and Nissans were just fantastic! They were even reasonably proportioned and designed, hinting at production. Alas, nothing

I don’t know where people are finding $10,000 Vipers, but they’re all at least $35k in my area, which definitely takes them out of the “beater” category.

Our company (Toyota) with my tenure and experience, the focus was always design elements being the priority. We would first spend a lot of time on the shape and appeal of the car from visual perspective

I hate to break it to anyone, but if a scientific article is free and “comprehensible”, it’s probably not exactly peer reviewed

What’s up with Panther platform cars having bum window controls? This seems to be extra ordinarily common

Exclusive footage of new FCA CEO “Mike Manley” on the job

The unfortunate truth is that Buzz is an obnoxious dick IRL, and I cringe every time I bump into him at conferences. It takes a certain kind of person to do what he did, and that kind of person is not a good role model. 

and a lunar base is even less cost effective unless you’re mining ice to make rocket fuel... This is the pot calling the kettle black. At least with a deep space gateway, we could test deep space habitat technology. Granted, China could be testing Mars habitat technology on the moon, but the surface of the moon is not

Well, it already looks a hell of a lot better than the R...

There are an infinite amount of moments during that flight in which I would be shitting myself. Considering the plane goes fully upside down, it would be terrible for everyone involved

I have a Honda Fit, so apparently my car has been a rolling grape shot cannon, and it’s not just the driver’s side O.o

Lol, how on Earth did they think GPS alone has the resolution necessary to navigate a course? Even with filtering, you’re not going to achieve the precision required to stay on the road

My ideal pickup is the first gen Tundra with a diesel, a slightly longer bed, and a manual that doesn’t suck
