I like how this article and the quoted article emphasize how the carbon footprint of hydrogen will benefit from renewable energy expansion, yet this point is equally, if not more so, applicable to a BEV. I'm a huge hydrogen fan, I just thought that this point was pointless

This is probably the main factor tbh. I do think the side profile is genuinely good

Both first gens just look so buttoned down when parked next to later models. They got bulbous and venty real quick.

First gen X5 and X3 are the best looking of all the gens. Maybe if they designed more cars on plane rides, I wouldn’t be holding back vomit when looking at the new 4 series

The Bolt is mentioned in the first paragraph, as the hatchback that nobody wants

There are enough of them where, if the whole point of purchasing the car is to go hiking, then you should get a mildly lifted awd vehicle. I live within 20 minutes of two trailheads that I'd take my girlfriend's Outback on but not my Fit. Both of them are the best trailheads in the area, so there's that. People who…

I remember convincing my dad to take a look at a Regal Tour X. We ended up describing the interior as a normal Chevy with leather stapled to it. It felt very cobbled together

Efficiency saddens me as well

“The base 5.0-liter V8 currently makes 460 horsepower and 420 lb.-ft. of torque and the Shelby GT350's 5.2-liter flat-plane crank V8 makes 526 hp and 429 lb.-ft. of torque, leaving about 100 hp of wiggle room for the new Mach 1 if you take Ford literally.”

Mud daubers on Jeeps should have its own meme at this point. Kind of surprised there isn’t a heinous picture somewhere worthy of it

There are trailheads quite literally at the end of "4x4 only" roads, and those roads are appropriately marked.

It’s possible that the case vents at a PSI that’s higher than what is required to push the oil up through the line. Just because it isn’t clogged, doesn’t mean that the case isn’t relatively pressurized when compared to the atmosphere.

I’ve traveled all over the PNW, the Sierras, the Rockies, Appalachia, and America’s deserts. 90% of trailheads do not require a lift, but 1 in 10 require more ground clearance than a Golf or a Fit. I’ve owned my Fit since ‘09, and I acquired a beater Suburban a couple years ago, because there are simply some places…

I can confirm that they will get you to a trailhead even when you really shouldn't do it. My only concern is the buyer's request. If you want something specifically to go hiking, get something with a mildly high ride height. A CX-30 would be great, and so would a used HR-V

Awesome looking car. I’m guessing that infotainment system won’t exactly be fun to live with however. The line between automakers that “get” current systems vs those that “don’t get” them is quite stark

There is nothing interpretive, creative, or conceptual about assembling a box of parts that come with literal instructions. If this thing is art, so is my toilet and my nephew's GI Joe action figure

A model car is not art

Oh my God, yes

I want to take pre-war long hoods and convert them to electric cars. Long car = lots of batteries. Dump some more + motors in the back for weight and use that straight 8 hood space as the frunk. 

I hear it’s really easy to make extravagant sports cars when you’re struggling to break even
