The racism in the southern cone of South America (except for Uruguay which is like super chill) seems surprising until you see the demographics:

I don’t think those cars are in PNG anymore... being RHD they are almost surely roaming the roads of Indonesia, Malaysia or Thailand 

The Land Cruisers are a no-brainer: comfortable enough to do the diplomatic work, capable enough to handle New Guinea’s “roads” and much more able to be recommissioned into another governmental job after APEC. Unlike a Maserati or a Bentley, you also wouldn’t have to ship it to Brisbane, Auckland or Jakarta every 200…

I don’t know what is sadder: that Mitsubishi’s lineup is so run into the ground or if the replacement of the ASX will very likely just be a Renault Captur or Nissan Kicks in drag, now that they are part of the Renault-Nissan alliance. Maybe a fancied-up Dacia Duster to keep the 4x4 if we are lucky

To connect the hypothetical railway to Alaska, you’d have to cross the entire Canadian west coast, which is foreign territory. To get it to Hawaii, you’d have to go through around 2.5 million miles deep into the international waters of the Pacific Ocean. Your largest state is an enclave with a sole major populational…

I’m sure that greatly diminishing the pollution generated in the country that by itself contributes to around 14% of the global yearly pollution would accomplish quite a lot, actually.

China is a entire Peru (1,5 million square kilometres) bigger than the continental (sans Alaska and Hawaii) United States. Since the subject is a railway network and I don’t think there are any plans to englobe the two enclaves states into that network, for the subject China IS bigger than the United States

FCA was already using a split tailgate with the Fiat Toro, although with a simpler (and consequently, lighter) system

Also the only way he will beat Obama’s inauguration crowd

What a surprise that putting a puppet leader in the country with by far and away the biggest oil reserves in the world (a whole USA reserves more than Saudi Arabia) is of interest of the United States.

Thankfully not for long, however. The EU deemed forced sterilisation a violation of human rights in 2017 (better late than never), and the member countries that require it will need to change their laws sooner than later

It’s basically the same car as the Smart ForFour, the difference mostly being the Renault looking miles better

But they kinda are Hispanic? They were a Spanish colony (and one of the wealthiest and most developed of its time) for almost three centuries and a half, right until 1898 when the US “bought” it.

Maybe it looks boring because it isn’t a M3 but actually a 330i, as it’s said on the subtitle?

The other part of me acknowledges that BMW’s engineers just don’t know how to build a chassis that can handle that kind of power.

Almost guaranteed they will built in Argentina. Both VW and Ford of Argentina are headquartered and built their trucks in the same city in greater Buenos Aires (General Pacheco). VW’s plant is currently only building the Amarok while Ford’s is building the Ranger and Focus.

Wouldn’t it be better if Uber did the opposite? Charge a smaller percentage from the driver if his car is electric (but keep the ride the same value, so the driver can keep the extra cash). Doing so doesn’t affect the riders, which wouldn’t have to pay more, and is much more effective than just giving money to…

That’s a shame, the current 7 (without the sporty bodykit) is a handsome design and this facelifted one, well, is not

Smart actually, if they escaped in a car they likely wouldn’t just be responding to criminal mischief but to motor vehicle theft as well

Thank you for having empathy. Incredibly stupid and idiotic stuff those kids did, but they aren’t a danger for society to require imprisonment, and community service as well as a fine should be enough punishment for the (very) dumb teens
