I’m normally not the most opposed to alphanumeric naming, but... Come on VW! Give us a name! Show the world that your car is exciting and new. Tesla is all about hype, try to meet them halfway, at least. I know that Tesla gets away with boring names, but traditional automakers need something, anything, to stand out.

If I was CEO of Harley, I would give up on changing much about the brand image, for now. I'd buy the rights to the Huffy brand, start making better bicycles, work on electric and two stroke Yuppy machines, and then create a new mark for the stylish city cruisers and racers. Eventually, Harley can become a retro brand,

They’ve been systematically adding knobs to the lineup. My parents' Accord has the right knobs. But yes, that cruise control? Man, I was passing a car towing a trailer, and the vehicle slammed on the brakes so hard that my heart was slamming into my chest

Today was my last day at my current job. On my end, it felt very good to leave. I hope that you didn’t have any strong negative motivators. Good luck! Focus on the promise of today and tomorrow. Don’t forget the good in the past

I fail to see how Honda has better tech than Toyota. The RAV4 comes with a ton of tech right out of the box. Honda's adaptive cruise is utter trash. 

Toyota should be worried because the CR-V is less than $2k cheaper, the RAV4 has a head start, and they're ahead of technology with the Prime coming out? Nah. The RAV4 will continue to be the one to beat. I can't imagine that hybrid versions linger on lots at all

Seriously. Pay respects? For what, mediocrity? My nostalgia for the Impala surely doesn't go back to '63, nor does it for the majority of the country. RIS

In Italy, you can often get cars for that cheap or even free. Simply registering and insuring a car is thousands and thousands. So, once a car gets to a certain point, it's basically worthless

This article is dumb. Some cars have appreciated since they were released. What of it?

Call me when Maserati produces a desirable vehicle that has a production run greater than 100 a year

Admittedly, I haven't looked this up. Do Tesla's get close to the EPA estimate, what do people experience in the real world?

I really dig hatches, and I’m enjoying the rear on it. It looks utilitarian with a bit of design flare. What don’t you like about it?

For f’ing real. Crossover hate has become something like a social meme, where people just jump on it for the hucks. The center of gravity will be nearly the same, or lower, than dedicated sports cars because that battery weighs so damn much. Hatch and usable space is a win. Plus, crossover seating has become so low,

Buick has infinitely more direction than Maserati. At least they know that they are rebadged entry luxury

No one has been able to release a satisfying car that can do electric, hybrid, and gas. I sincerely doubt that Maserati will the one to crack the code. 

In a final desperate plea for help, the Jag's motor leapt from the car, hoping that someone, anyone, could save it from the inevitable trip to the mechanic after being driven for a couple hundred miles

These cars are overpriced. Full stop. You're about 2/3s of the way to an S2000

Sigh. I know. I wasn’t referring to the incident itself, but the blow back that would occur. Did you see the media coverage that the Uber pedestrian incident generated? There are still CBS news updates that trickle out to this day. It’s the illogical reaction to the event that could cripple the industry and cause

You misinterpreted my comment. I can’t wait for self driving cars, and, unlike the luddites the continue to work for this site, I think that it's a reasonably reachable goal. I just know society and the rube-like mob mentality that governs it. Give AI one minor disaster, and you'll have the Butlerian Jihad on your

I’m on the fence. That all it takes is one catastrophe, e.g., a child dying, and the whole sector is set back for years
