To be fair, the Palisade and Telluride are in the same size range as the Honda Pilot or BMW X5. Big, yes, but not giant. The truly giant SUVs are the monstrosities from Lincoln, GMC, and Toyota. These are either significantly longer or taller/wider.

That’s how it is in America. It’s very rare to pay sticker or more for a car. It’s only reserved for very new cars in very high demand. I’d imagine that’s how it is in Europe as well. It only gets covered in blogs so often because it’s so unusual. Not because it happens a lot.

Kia/Hyundai have a 10 year 100k mile powertrain warranty. They also have a class leading 5 year 60k mile B2B warranty. Most other cars in its class have a 3-4 year warranty.

No, it’s not. You’re thinking like most American consumers and just looking at the monthly payment. You’re ignoring down payment and total length of payments (i.e. total payments made).

Fauci and Birx haven’t done anything wrong. They are just being normal human beings and not letting their emotions get the best of them. They haven’t lied about anything. There will be plenty of time and other people to work out these issues. Fauci and Birx have work to do and it’s best done where they are now. I…

I’m not saying it’s all luck, but do you realize how many millions of engineers have lived and died in Silicon Valley? Most of them very smart. If you’re in the right place at the right time, have better than average motivation, are willing to take risks, and it helps if your family is at least upper middle class,…

If you’re purely thinking aerodynamics, it’d look like a teardrop. The problem is, that shape is unwieldly and it becomes impractical for storage and maneuvering tight spots. It’s a solid middle ground between aero and practical function.

Toyota and Honda already make a lot of “normal” looking hybrids. The Prius is the Prius. It was originally designed to be pure function over form and it was wildly popular. I think it makes more sense to be conservative with the changes and continue to expand their lineup. If people want to buy a normal looking hybrid…

First of all, a body kit is purely cosmetic whether it’s going on a Porsche, Camaro, Prius, or kei car. If it gives the owner enjoyment, what difference does it make whether you do it to a Prius or a sports car?

Even with a valve, masks still greatly reduce the spread of airborne droplets when talking and sneezing. I’d say it’s closer to 80% as effective, not just 50%.

Cable companies operate as regional monopolies so that’s not a valid comparison. There are some legs that are underserved, but for the most part domestic and foreign air travel has good competition. If one airline can offer better service for cheaper or the same price, they will do it do drum up more business. Unless…

People these days want everything at cut-rate prices. They complain about first class having access to a lesser used bathroom or being closer to the exits. Well they could have those things if they paid more. Next will they complain their cars should be as good as BMWs for Toyota prices?

I have what is basically the 27" version of this with a higher resolution. These are great monitors if you care about color accuracy and viewing angles. These are not good if you’re looking for a budget monitor or for gaming. There are obviously a ton of 1080p 24" monitors on the market for under $100 that would be…

The important takeaway here is that the ZF 9HP sucks and the 8HP is awesome. The 8HP can only be put in a RWD car and the 9HP is made for FWD cars. The 9HP has nothing to do with the 8HP. They might as well be made by different companies.

Americans waste so much money buying expensive cars and homes but refuse to spend a couple hundred bucks when they’re on a 5 hour flight to Hawaii. I consider a flight a part of the vacation. You can either start and end it uncomfortable and cranky, or you can start/end it in comfort and with a happy family. I wonder…

Business and first class seats are rarely sold out when I fly. They have plenty for the demand. First class seats bring in far more money and airlines would prefer to have a flight full of those than a flight full of economy sardine seats. Even first class domestic seats have been getting smaller but cheaper as well.…

So you’re telling me that if airlines allowed two checked bags and two carry on bags for FREE to everyone on the plane, that there would be zero change in baggage on any given flight? Seriously? You don’t think if there were incremental charges for the first then more for the second checked bag that people would think…

Look at this project from late March:

I definitely give Trump some credit for taking those estimates seriously and not ignoring them which is surprising given it’s Trump. But real credit goes to Fauci, the CDC, the WHO, and all the scientists who worked on those.

You’re assuming they read past literally the second sentence.
