I love the new MX5. The regular 124 looks cute, but the Abarth looks like it went through Pimp My Ride, Eurotrash edition.

Unless you are a specialist or a gigantor manufacturer, why r&d on electric? It's going to cost you way too much to compete when you're already behind, and will raise your vehicle price point into uncomfortable territory between luxury and affordable brands. Mazda has a focus right now and is killing it in their segment (in terms of product anyway, they deserve good sales  ). Let everyone else battle it out for least-lovely entry-level electric and go clean up when battery tech costs a fraction in ten years. Though I have to say continuing to push the diesel is a bit of a head scratcher, unless gas goes to $5 real soon.

Dimming mirrors are one of my pet peeves, in that so many manufacturers either only offer a dimming interior mirror or make external dimming mirrors only available on $$$$ trim packages. I hate it! I guess I drive at night a lot and being in a short sedan I'm constantly having some washing machine SUV's lights blaring right in my mirrors. Every cheap rear end car should have dimming mirror option, heated seats, and parking beepers

Another day another sports car coming out with no manual and all the people driving twenty year old wagons are whining about it on the internet But really it's fine, manuals seem to be doing well in niche cars like the miata and m2 and that's where they will hold out perhaps indefinitely. The vert z4 is about as boomer mobile as you can get and no one who could get a manual m2 or porsche was going to cross shop one

I know I know we can't just quadruple the price of gas because people will starve and there's no alternative for many. But collective memories are so short. People couldn't get enough of small cars when gas was $4-5 and now that it's back to $2-3 we're all trucks, Trucks, TRUCKS!!!  I'm sure we all agree that we'll live in a mad max hellscape before we actually solve any of our problems.

No one buys base models, and now that options are dead and trims cost thousands of dollars to get any basic stuff like heated seats, auto headlights, and auto up/down windows so I'm sure everyone is still making a killing on it even if they threw it on the base trim for free.

Maybe I'm weird but the *3 looks terrible, I would much rather have that VW or the mazda. All the fake entry level german car (A3, CLA, whatever) interiors look cheap as hell. e: even the RS3 sucks. The materials are a little nicer but it's still plasticy and has those stupid big round vents. Terrible

I drove a new Sienna as a rental not too long ago and that thing was loving awesome, and fun to drive, it's actually fairly nimble compared to a crossover and when it's empty the V6 will get it out of its own way.

On the other side I really don't get the preoccupation with not running a front plate because it looks 0.0001% cleaner or why you would give cops any standing justification to hassle you. Just make it required in all 50 states and be done with it.

Typical American driver behavior I've observed in multiple states is: * usually stop over the line / bully the crosswalk * at any red light, immediately after stopping look down at phone or away so that you don't notice when the light turns green * on green light, 90%-100% acceleration, even if there's another red light 200 yards away * repeat

Zero One posted:RIP Fusion. I enjoy mine for what it is: a fully loaded 17 hybrid I got used with hardly any miles on it. I'm sure anyone wanting one will be able to get the same for years to come. We got a similar fusion last year: '17 hybrid with sync 3 and upgraded interior, 10k miles on it. It is sooo much car for the money.

I was pulled over multiple times in various places in MD for having a plate either not on or up in the windshield back when I was a moron in my 20s. And I am a white dude. If I was anything else I would definitely not be giving cops reasons to pull me over. E: YMMV of course. I lived in El Paso for a year and probably 80% of cars have an expired reg but cops don't really hassle people for that stuff.

I mean even smartphones still give you physical volume controls. I'm guessing at some point vw has to backtrack like honda did in 2018 or whatever. Tucson PHEV - it hasn't launched yet, but the battery is smaller than the rav4 prime's (I think about 13.8 kwh vs 18 kwh). So it will have less electric range but it will cost less. I think they are targeting 30ish miles where the prime can do 40 ish. The Santa Fe is going to use the same powertrain and since it's fatter it will just have less range and be a little less efficient. Unless the difference in range / price either way is more important, just get whichever one you like aesthetically more, or the one you can actually get your hands on, if it's still the case that you have to pay over MSRP to get a prime.

In my 20 years of owning cars and bikes in various cities I've never had reliable access to an outlet (let alone an L2 plug) until I got a house a few months ago. Putting chargers all over random streets seems like a pretty dumb strategy, but as range, charging times and charger networks continue to improve going to the ev charger station for 30 min once a week to juice up seems palatable.

Blackhawk posted:Is there any indication that range or charging times are going to improve that much in the foreseeable future though? I mean right now range is just a matter of cramming in more cells but that costs a ton, and rapid charging is possible but beyond a certain point reduces the life of the battery. I think if you took a battery using current cell technology and only ever charged it at the maximum possible rate for its entire life it would probably last several years less than one charged overnight every time. I think maybe just that we'll see more EVs that can do 250-300 miles, charge a solid % very very fast, will cost comparatively less, and non-tesla charging networks will improve. Right now it's what, $45k at least to hit all of those requirements, and super inconvenient without a house to charge at? The big makers are only just hitting stride getting these types of cars to market. There will be a day when supply constraints are long gone and toyota/ford/gm/hyundai have been pumping out cars for years and where $20k (today equivalent) used evs with 250 mile batteries are going to be easily available. Maybe battery tech isn't going to go at the same rate as it has but we are still extremely early in overall EV car market dynamics.
