1st Gear: Nissan’s Inspections Scandal Keeps Getting Bigger

By law, I don’t think they could necessarily deny the claim if it couldn’t be proven to have directly resulted in the failure experienced.

I suppose you could argue that being manufactured by Subaru constitutes an inherent engine mechanical defect.

I think I got a little greedy on the second one. Sometimes, less is more. : I

It looks like Australia got left Holden the bag on those manufacturing facilities. At least they’re not down under water on them.

Pictured: provided parts for Ford’s carbon monoxide TSB. Please note that you will be charged for technician’s saliva under “shop materials.”

So...Ford can’t get doors right, but they want me to trust their EcoBoost technology to run as long as an NA drivetrain? (this should have been my first comment)

“My dad took this as a personal challenge and adopted a 1979 Spider 2000 in the ’90s. The car’s still in the family. Actually, it practically raised razed me.” 

FTFY

“Did you shut the door?”

“I don’t recall.”

“Well, it’s open now.”

“Now I recall.”

For $159,900, I sure hope they include replacements for all the perished rubber (seals, gaskets, hoses, etc). Otherwise, I suppose you could sit in it and go “vroom vroom” or pretend it’s an art piece that speaks upon Jim Crow and the postbellum Confederate south.

Cool.

As a father of 2 under 3, a million times yes. There always happens to be a Harley ripping and revving whenever we open the minivan doors to extricate our sleeping kids.

I knew I was missing something.

I endorse this post. Agreed on all points.

Maybe. But think of the ear drums, people!

Starred. And thanks for the reminder. They can take their carefully cultivated faux-bro culture with them too.

Good.

(and take your irritating exhaust pipes with you on the way out of the USDM)

This is probably the most compelling argument I’ve heard yet.

I think the internet, light bulb, and the telephone are great. They impacted society and changed it for the better in an immeasurable way.

In this case, we’re talking about $80 billion to develop a feature for people who can’t be arsed to use a “go pedal,” “stop pedal” or the integrated directional interface-thingy in…

Where’s that “money toilet” lead image used on the Maserati articles? I think you could get some extra mileage out of it for this piece while staying on topic.
