Had to boot my Switch up and try this. Wow, that's clever!

In metric tons or imperial tons?

Man, I hope my car looks that good at 158K. Even with the auto, nice price for this daily-driveable time capsule!

It looks great, but that doesn’t look particularly comfortable to get in and out of...

A good reminder for me to ask my Mazda dealer if they’d service the Toyota Yaris iA I want as a commuter/city car...

All the money is the only thing shareholders want.

To give them more reason to terminate them with cause if they do, so Tesla doesn’t have to pay out any severance, unemployment, or COBRA expenses.

That single image alone gives me new feelings in places I didn’t think could have them. Absolutely gorgeous. I want to see that car sans livery with metallic paint on it.

“Lazy Evaluation” is the only way I didn’t fail out of high school...

This is the right answer.

Welp, time for me to go buy a GTO.

Here is a common scenario: A car buyer in 2016 got a zero percent APR loan on a new car that retailed $30,000 and the payments were $500 per month. That person is now back in the market but their trade value is equal to their loan payoff so it’s a wash.

Star for the many, many hours a young teenage Turbolence1988 spent mastering that circuit’s every corner.

Great points. I definitely see scenarios where the CX-3 lives on but indeed the American sector is likely the one where it yields to the ever so slightly larger, and ever so slightly more costly CX-30.

I would assume they’re slogging ahead to reach a production minimum to negate some of the sunk costs. It’s only on its fourth model year and didn’t get a facelift if I recall correctly; it likely needs to get through the 5th year to complete the product cycle and get close enough to original sales estimates to…

The current CX-3 sells so few units relative to the CX-5 (7-8x as many) and the CX-9 (almost 2x as many) that I’d think Mazda sees no viable profitability in a subcompact crossover. They can only go so low with production costs and MSRPs to make acceptable margins on their CUVs.

I’m not so sure. I think the CX-30 is going to replace the CX-3 entirely within a couple years, with CX-3 production continuing to the end of its planned product cycle to amortize the investment on its Mazda2-based underpinnings.

What pre-orderers thought Tesla was going to give them for $35,000:
- Incredible EV range
- Leather seats
- Power everything
- Deep customization options
- State-of-the-art autonomous driving capabilities
- Free supercharging
- A BMW 3 Series alternative
