Id love to see a list of what has been replaced and how many miles each item lasted. Honestly think one of the staff should find out more and write a decent article about this car.

Its a terrible decision, will break me financially, will ruin my relationships and I WANT IT

It’s a big flaw if someone else fills your car with snakes.

“You think Volkswagen is gonna bother selling GTIs when the base MSRP shoots up by $7,600?”

1st Gear: This is pretty simple stuff, at least from the standpoint of objectives: The industry and government should advocate for common (at least in the first world) safety and emission standards. No import duties, no export benefits, and no currency manipulation. Free-trade, baby, all day long. Smoke ‘em if you…

I can’t see this going well at all. Firstly, I think it’s really funny that Trump is all about Capitalism until it contradicts his distorted worldview. Then it’s time to screw the free market and stack the deck against the other teams. Secondly, if this tariff actually happens and foreign automakers that don’t have…

I started to say “Hey, three places where nobody actually notices abandoned cars, LOL!” But this actually makes me physically sick on many levels, I’m not even sure where to start. It’s like cash-for-clunkers redux. Surely there are places in the world where these could serve to immeasurably improve people’s quality…

This seems likely. At cruising speed you probably wouldn’t be able to discern between engines idling and engines off. So they probably pulled the power to idle and descended.

Four-bangers aren’t always more efficient either. Driving similarly, my ‘16 GTI (2.0L turbo) gets similar around-town numbers to my ‘10 Accord V6 (3.5L N/A).

I think it HAS to have a unique design, and it HAS to look like a truck. Otherwise it will get lost. IMHO - the Jeep is poised for a topple. It’s expensive, the interior sucks, and it’s not particularly nice to drive EXCEPT on the trail. The 4Runner is pretty much as capable, plus with all the amenities for not much…

in a practical sounding world, yes, this 50,000 car makes no sense, but based on her request, she wants one because she can, so really it isn’t about what is practical but how to use her budget to the fullest.

The new Jaguar XE is actually pretty damn nice, especially if you want something different.

Offer car people want. Raise price so nobody wants it. Kill car due to lack of demand. Genius.

Me — an accountant — anytime I hear how great it is that a business can just “write off” whatever it is

Watching people willfully enter into the rental economy where they have to make perpetual payments and own nothing is rather scary. It seems to be another modern take on the company town and it is not just for poor people any more. 

Agree with you. Exterior styling on many of their cars is as good as any other. ATS-V, CT6, mustang, these buicks - all great looking cars. Nobody notices, but they also perform, sometimes best in class.

I would also wager that anything under 6.5 or so “feels” fast enough to most buyers, such that for someone who’s never driven a Corvette or whatever that’s plenty of the “Push you back into your seat” sensation and feels fast.

Its pretty amazing what can be done with small displacement 4 cylinders these days. As late as the late 80s 6.0L V8s made less HP.

“Performance does not matter.” This is extremely silly. 0-60 in six seconds is fast as fuck, especially for a passenger truck. If you go out on a public road with passengers and you go from zero to sixty in six seconds, all your passengers are going to be thinking, “Holy cow, it’s like we’re driving in the Indy 500!”…
