Call bullshit all you want. Your anecdotal evidence and confirmation bias are cute, but they don’t hold up to cold, hard facts. Focus sales are in the toilet. Just because you’re obsessed with them and now notice every one that you pass doesn’t change how many Ford is selling per month, and the answer is, “Not…

I suspect Noble Destro is closer to reality than your first reaction. There are perhaps twelve of us Jalopniks in the States who can actually put a Focus ST’s dynamics and capabilities to as-intended use. For the hugely vast majority of people, dynamics does not come into play. It’s either cruising at a respectable…

I want vehicles that look like they ran over a TRON light cycle.

Probably the same number of people who drive around in a 4 door SUV or sedan and have someone in the back seat once or twice a year.

They went the wrong direction with this. If the Germans wanted to enter the truck game, the should have rolled in with some crazy Unimog inspired insanity boasting the title of the cheapest new vehicle available with portal axles.

Why do we need another sedan? Or another hot hatch? Or sport coupe?

As if this will vastly increase the number of pickup trucks sold.

Might be a nice time for a whole army of people to write/tweet/whatever her and the other kids leading this movement to tell them we’ve got their backs, and those who are attacking them are only doing so because they’re scared.

Uh, because it didn’t stop. Did you watch the video? I didn’t see any slowing down at all. There are a multitude of sensors and cameras that should have detected a person in the road or about to cross the road from a pretty long distance away.

They’re still here, trying to pretend LIDAR doesn’t exist.

Man, those shipping companies are going to get flooded with inquiries. But, I don’t think their business is sunk yet, though it did take a hit.

Thats a poor comparison. There are millions more human controlled cars than driverless cars, not to mention driverless cars only started testing on public roads a few years ago. Of course there will be more deaths in the human controlled car group. A much better comparison would be accidents per mile driven or…

Very true that many die like this daily, but should note that there are hundreds of millions of human operated cars, while a very small number of autonomous cars, so hard to really draw any conclusions from this in regards to what is safer.

I’m pretty sure that the right-hand drive GTs have less power than their left-hand counterparts. There’s an exhaust restriction due to the steering column being in the way.

I love how we’re having a civilized physics argument on the day of the death of a theoretical physicist.

So I hung in there through the “we didn’t evolve” and the “extream love”, but had to tap out at “Asians are super creative.”

I feel like their popularity is in some part fueled by centrists and liberals who want confirmation that this is something out of the ordinary and not that their family members or neighbors agree with the White Nationalist agenda being embraced by the GOP

They can remember that it wasn’t a public shit show like W. Bush and our current fascist-dictator-in-training, so of course he is revered. Reagan performed his immoral conservative work out of the public eye.

Pretty sure he’s up for the challenge

Pretty sure he’s going to dodge this question.
