Small cars are only as impractical as your mind makes it

I fit a full cart worth of Aldi’s groceries and two people in my NB Miata with the top up and you’re complaining about barely being able to fit one cart of groceries in the bed of this thing? It’s a small bed compared to a full size (because it isn’t a full size) but it's not that small, pretty similar to the other…

I’d be interested in how it drives compared to a Wrangler and also compared to it’s competition and maybe compared to the full size trucks above it. Might be tough, but maybe real world MPG? Since they boast the towing numbers, any sort of towing feedback would be nice as well.

While I hate that this is called a “Coupe”, it does look like a nice place to be. The proportions are kinda like a bigger, more powerful and nicer Macan

I think they said it will be Europe only at first then Japan (or maybe I have that backwards?) But that there are no current plans to bring it to the US 

Tilting my screen down a bit, I definitely don’t see a third spoke! I really really wish they would bring this thing to the US! It’s shaping up to be really nice

In stock form the Indycars should beat the F1 car by a sizable margin due to the downforce ( in 2018 spec). However, if the F1 car were to run a low drag set up, I imagine it will be close 

Tire wear is important but Indycar also refuels so it's more about overall managing of the car rather than just focusing on tires. Guys will often fuel save and manage tires at the same time while others are running hard so it makes for some interesting battles. 

A short interview with Marcus Ericsson explains the main differences. Downforce and steering. Indycar has significantly less downforce than F1 so on a track with lots of high speed corners, F1 will always be way faster. The fact that the Indycars don’t have assisted steering makes a massive difference too.

Sunroof comes standard

That or you need better tires, OEM tires aren’t always on there to be the grippiest. Especially if it isn’t a high performance brand/model like say Porsche. Honda is probably more worried about fuel economy, road noise and cost while Porsche will gladly slap the stickiest road going Michelin tires money can buy

Go drive their newest crop of cars. They are solid performers in their segments. I had an Si for a weekend and really liked it. My only complaint was the lack of lumbar support, so I bought a lumbar pillow and that solved the problem.

Go drive them. They are extremely solid cars and drive really nicely. I had an Si coupe for a weekend and I seriously considered getting rid of my Miata for it. There's plenty of usable torque, 34 MPG, and it's nicely equipped. My only complain was the lack of lumbar support, but that was fixed with a $20 pillow. 

I sat in all the mid size trucks at the Detroit show and was really shocked that the Tacoma gave me about the same headroom as my NB Miata... And I’m a fairly tall 6' 1" guy. But the rest of the competitors had plenty of room to spare for me 

The first time I drove, (in my mom’s car) I didn’t realize automatic creep was a thing, so I rolling into the bikes in front of her car. Didn’t damage it, but it startled me when the car started moving before I touched the gas.

I was wondering the same thing, they were making up some ground and I was really excited to see what Katherine could do in her final stint. The only social media post I saw was Kat had front damage that needed some time behind the wall, but nothing beyond that. Maybe aquaplaned into something/someone or tagged one of…

I am extremely interested in the mid size segment so I checked out all of them at the auto show. I don’t really need a full size and I like small functional trucks that do what I need. I also like seeing where I’m going. The Ranger has a nice seating position for a 6'+ person and a nice sloped hood so you can see some…

Since you mentioned Ford, let’s look at the fuel numbers.

Courtesy of my Civil engineer gf, it basically comes down to the fact that no one wants to experiment on a large scale since a possible failure 5 years later costs millions to fix. The R&D is conducted small scale over several years but then you have to convince the people in charge of the roads that trying this new…

Awesome pictures!
