Because Up and Polo have meaning in the US market?

Those calling for a bigger engine are missing the point of this vehicle. Despite having a straight 8, the original Type 35 would have topped out at 130 hp, which is far less than what a Fiat 124 engine could produce. Anything more than that would probably be a death sentence in a car like this. It isn’t a race car by…

I grew up with one of these - a 1982, I believe it was. Mom wrecked it, she lived. I will always appreciate the safety of a Volvo.

To each their own. Personally, I don’t like the design of the RX and that was one significant reason I didn’t buy one when I was in the market for a new car a few years ago. The D pillar of the ZDX is very similar to the design of the RX, though I grant that the RX looks more finished and intentional, whereas the ZDX…

Volvo 850 T5 R Wagon in Pleasant Muted Yellow

Yes, you’re right - D pillar.

Yeah, and the MDX actually looks great. I don’t know why they didn’t stick with that C design.

I’ve hated the roof/c-pillar since the concept, and I’m disappointed that it made it to production. The cut c-pillar trend should be over by now, and Acura just locked themselves into it for the next 5 years.

Maybe make the chrome color-matched?

Remember that apology video that Nick Denton issued after Gawker published a secretly-taken sex tape of nonconsenting people, and was found liable for invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress, ultimately bringing down the Gawker media empire, causing scores of employees to lose their jobs…

Impaired driver obviously at fault, but can we lay at least some of the blame on the cops for parking in a traffic lane? Why do they do that? I see cop cars all the time at least partially in a traffic lane, tail sticking out, which is just begging to get clipped. In this case it looks like there was limited…

If that story is true, and they weren’t just being hoonigans trying to off-road for fun, then I can understand their actions to a certain extent - if you’re lost in Death Valley, and almost out of gas, no chance of running into anyone and your GPS has no clear directions to get you out of the park but you can see a…

I would pay good money to watch Casey Affleck die from heat exhaustion and dehydration.

Surron X electric, about 50 miles range.

Pretty sure that they meant what is commonly known as a “safety hammer” which is generally recommended to keep in the car in case the car goes into a river/flood area or gets in a wreck and the power windows don’t work.

I get wanting to be different, but I think the owner sacrificed a lot of functionality for style. 

It’s definitely interesting, but I’m just not sure it makes any sense. There are few cars that I’d want to spend 150,000 miles in less than an SLK, especially with another person. And the lack of roof or trunk space means no roof tent and very limited gear, which has to be hauled in that trailer which is just yet…

Florida has a codified “shopkeeper’s privilege” law that allows merchants to detain anyone suspected of theft, including “transit services.” If I had to guess, that would be the airline’s defense. And given that this is Florida, I think that might actually hold. But hopefully instead it results in a nice multi-million…

It’s not bad looking - a little derivative, perhaps. But my biggest issue with Hyundai is that they just can’t seem to keep a consistent design language. Every vehicle they produce seems to be in a completely different style than the others. For better or wore, when I see a Chevy I know it’s a Chevy without having to…

Aside from the design, which I think everyone will admit is polarizing, I think there are a few things that will make the Cybertruck far less successful than Tesla predicted. First, there is a lot more negativity around Musk that has undoubtedly driven away at least some of the potential customers. Granted, this is a…
