VW, we’re going to make the cars we want to make whether you like them or not.

Cammisa’s latest video over at Hagerty is a pretty good look at VW in America. Pretty sure he’s right too. VW needs something that isn’t a nameless blob to sell to Americans. Has nothing to do with their electrification efforts per se, they just seem to make boring crap all the time. One could argue that they were…

And as usual the everyday factory floor workers, the office workers, janitors, parts suppliers, etc etc will pay the price for the mistakes that upper level management and execs failed to address. VW has been building pretty sub-par vehicles for years. People still bought them because they were at least a little bit…

Third Gear: Musk’s business “strategy” for Tesla has always been hyping the next thing to cover up for the broken promises and spotty performance of the last thing.

Right like this is SO much better than the Zuck turning a Porsche into a minivan.

The current generation is certainly the purest distillation of I-didn’t-get-attention-in-high-school found in any Corvette.

In regards to the Lexus LS460, I agreed to the point of purchasing one. Be careful. The control arm bushings are wear items and there’s 8 of them, roughly 3500 to replace all of them. If the OEM entertainment unit has been swapped with any kind of tablet, run away. Otherwise, a great drive train and super nice to…

I was all NP until that last pic. What's with the saggy bumper?

No Dice here. If it’s being sold by an actual shop that does repair work then fix the carb.

GM:

Any country that still uses “hands” and “stone” has no room to judge.

6.5ft vs. 10ft?  Copper thieves just made 153.8% more profit!

Yeah but for a decade or so 150 people in C suite and above made out like bandits while those at the bottom kept the doors open doing the work of 2 or more employees while the brand was decimated. So hurray?

I still think the SC is gorgeous and there are already signs of the values going up. I really ought to buy one. 

The Si should be that color and have that hatchback. Jeez Honda get it together! 

This car is two features away from perfection, rear seat HVAC vents and ventilated front seats, aside from that it’s a grand slam. The value, performance, and efficiency Venn diagram is almost a circle, from what I’ve read about it and from experience with the Civic as well as other Honda hybrids using the hybrid 2.0…

So DeJoy got something right with these new trucks; doesn’t erase his fuckery prior to the last election. He’s gotta go.

Musk is living argument for higher tax rates for the ultra-rich. With his wealth and power, he has endless self-regard and no self-discipline, turning his brain to mush. He can communicate every half-baked thought in his head to millions of people, many of whom give him credence due to his supposed genius. Worse, he’s…

What’s worse? Elon Musk’s comments, or this being a slideshow?

Yeah. Sounds like yet another instance of bankruptcy abuse by the hedge fund corporate wreckers.
