The important part is that it has a hatch. It’s literally in the name!

which part do you like? the overly aggressive regenerative braking? the lack of a single button or knob anywhere in the passenger compartment? because i just loving love taking my eyes off the road to evaluate an ipad pro to do basic poo poo.

or maybe it's the body panels that are held together with electrical tape and adhesive foam and STILL somehow manage to not line up right? but it's okay, they'll fall off when rain dissolves the glue and you can reset them.

teslas are shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

their fans are shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

and the worst part is that libertarian space dad has convinced a small subset of the internet that he's changing the world, when really what they're doing is defending electric lexuses made by an rear end in a top hat

It reminds me of when everybody bitched about “Prius fans” 15 years ago, when every Prius driver I met was just a Camry Dad looking to save even more on gas

1) is a FIAT Abarth not a hot hatch?

2) you can turn down the regen braking in the 3 way more easily and quickly than you can turn off auto revmatching in most contemporary standard cars

3) you’re accusing me of thinking Teslas are good. I don’t think they’re poo poo, but I never said the word “good” either. A lot of cars are “fine cars”. Dodge Caliber is a “fine car” depending on the metric and how you’re defining “fine”

While GR Yaris isn't coming to the U.S., perhaps it's time the U.S. got a Toyota hot hatch to call its own.

GR-Line. All the visual bits, none of the performance bits. Every other brand has some garbage factory :rice: "-Line" offering that's all show and no go, of course Toyota has to get in on that action.

My whole family is fully vaxxed finally so I got to take my mom for a spin in the GTI for the first time yesterday. She says it's way more comfortable than the Si. I also showed her that you can put it in manual mode and change gears as you see fit and she said "but why would you want to do that?"

1) It’s a loving joke

2) Honda USA actually has a pretty big say in what cars get brought to/developed for the US market. They’re the ones responsible for turning the Ridgeline into a sales success by making it pretend to be more like a traditional truck. They also had a pretty sizable hand in developing the last Gen Civic, IIRC.

3) it’s a riff on the news from the other day that the biggest corporate donor to pro-insurrection members of Congress, by like an order of magnitude more than Koch, is Toyota

I mean Toyota was the one donating to the ones that voted against certifying the election and condemning the attempted insurrection. Maybe he thought Honda would try and distinguish themselves!

Idk, it seems like people are buying the new Supra, I see a ton of them at track days in comparison to similar age BMWs.
