GT coupe looks vaguely similar to another GT coupe. Imagine that!

The Forte5 SX gets less than 30 mpg while this is likely to be rated at or just under 40 mpg highway.

The reason so many manufacturers are going back to door-mounted mirrors is because it’s an aero/fuel economy advantage over the DLO-mounted ones.

To play devil’s advocate, look at it this way, Torch:

Claiming that stating “overall, the efficiency of cars hasn’t improved much beyond the Model T” is an untrue statement just because an isolated component like an engine may indeed be, is similar to denying the statement “cars today are heavier than cars from the…

This. People seem incapable of understanding the fallout that happens in a country’s economy once basic manufacturing jobs are outsourced. Unless you’re an executive in the West benefitting from the ever-increasing pay gap between bottom-rung employees and yourself, globalization and outsourcing hurt everyone else.

It has little to do with patriotism and a lot to do with upholding fair wages and rights for employees, something you hopefully do get.

It’s not a question of who lives so much as it’s a matter of encouraging drastically lower birthrates worldwide until our total population declines back down to levels that the planet can sustain.

Would much rather have the diesel Colorado/Canyon than literally anything made by FCA, but thanks for the hilariously abysmal effort at trolling.

Because there are so many American cars available with diesel, and often manual, drivetrains in wagons or hatchbacks...

This is probably the most level-headed post regarding Tesla in Kinja-land at the moment. Well done.

I love their tools, I wish I would have taken the time to visit their facility while I was living in Portland. It’s great that they’re made in the USA, as well.

Throwing around a word like “germane” is quite a lot coming from someone using every rhetoric trick in the book to evade directly addressing a counter-argument.

That’s a heavily distorted viewpoint at best...the range of environments and conditions mechanical components in a modern car are tested and expected to work correctly in is just as infinite as any software/hardware compatibility problems Google or Apple are working on-and as others have mentioned, apps, phones, and…

Are you seriously debating that phones have equivalent complexity to cars? That’s just silly, it’s not even a comparison.

How about a MUV (Mom Utility Vehicle)? That’s more truthful than any of the automakers’ names for this segment.

Fast on a highway and fast on an unpaved trail or just straight up natural landscape are two very different things, though.

If you feel the need to delve into semantics, I used “SUV” for the sake of coherency because this is what “Have Jeep” was calling them. As others have pointed out, however, the two terms are much more vague than you believe they are-something even Mercedes Benz is “getting wrong,” as the unibody GL and even the baby…

They’re built to use the Ford modular/5.0L (the new one) engines too, aren’t they?

Do I?

American-made car from a startup company driving some fascinating innovations throughout the entire auto industry is bashed by some basement-dwelling neckbeard trolling on the Internet?

TRIPLE CHECK!
