So they delayed the 135i xDrive M-Sport with Track Package to 2021, got it.

Neutral: Zero brand loyalty here. Whichever truck I can get for cheapest out-the-door that won’t screw me on warranty simply because I’m using the truck to tow things is the one I’d get.

Mercedes, Toyota, BMW, and Nissan have all resisted attempts to unionize their plants in the South, aided by anti-union right-to-work laws.

With a lean like that it looks like the other driver didn’t waste any moves of the steering wheel either. Did anyone check the track for a clipped-off wing mirror or a suspiciously brown oil slick near this checkpoint?

So basically they’re at Tesla’s “beta” Autopilot stage, but correctly calling them prototypes and using them in controlled situations and absorbing liability rather than giving under-prepared car users an EULA and letting them go nuts with a deceptively-named feature?

Here you go

I think it speaks volumes to just how quick new cars have become. I can’t remember where I saw the comparison but the current generation Honda Fit matches or beats the first generations of Civic Si in every measured test while ringing up at a lower inflation-adjusted price.

Hey now, Frontier could still compete with Spirit, United, and Being Physically Dragged Across the American Midwest By an Angry Yak. It’s a pretty balanced matchup.

American Airlines should go one step further and cancel the entire company just to be safe.

Holy CRAP, you weren’t kidding. Just found a 2017 S90 AWD near me with less than 20k on the clock for $29,995. That’s insane.

So that’s why I’m seeing them literally everywhere in New England with less than 6 months of sales to the marque.

I refuse to believe an interior that looks that nice is in a Subaru. But maybe it’s time I start challenging my perceptions from the early 2010s...

“Good impressions without being too fancy” is literally why my late father leased seven Volvo S80s in a row.

Yeah I was expecting straightaway speeds to get closer to 300 km/h. Makes you wonder just how much time is left on the table if battery discharging and cooling technology can improve...a sub-6 lap seems well within reach.

That’s the other thing that’s tempting about PHEVs...they put much less load on the engine overall, so they should theoretically last much longer without major servicing. The old Jalopnik article on how an Escape Hybrid’s motor looks at 500k comes to mind. https://jalopnik.com/this-is-what-a-500-000-mile-nyc-taxi-valve…

Neutral: I’ve been wooed by plug-in hybrids lately. The idea of getting the better part of my commute in using electric without sacrificing gas station convenience everywhere else and still getting 50+ mpg is mighty tempting.

[...] Uber is billing this as a way to get drivers without much cash into a car quickly and easily (only $185 security deposit and another $185 down payment for the first week) [...]

To be fair, measuring coffee by the cup is like measuring wine by the glass...my definition of “one cup” would reanimate a corpse all Thriller style.
