Yeah, but there are a lot of not-crazy ideas that never work in the automotive sales market (I’m not saying we can’t give it a chance, if we have to). Turbine engines, three-wheels, diesel fuel (in U.S.), etc., and the big concurrent fight over farmer’s equipment software repair access rights etc. which has a lot of Read more

There’s already an interesting test case with BMW, a luxury automaker with no car under like $36,000, that once charged extra for Apple CarPlay, wrapped it into a satellite-radio-station-style annual subscription before the backlash made them realize it should just come included with their fancy car if it’s free on Read more

In general, we Read more

You want them to put in piano black plastic and charge you $1,000 on top of MSRP? Read more

Video reviews? Or just any car reviews? Because we have an entire section on the home page to our written stuff, which features our Lexus ES camera rear-view mirror test for cars sold in the Japanese and European markets, and will have a new written review tomorrow. Read more

Interesting. I haven’t heard from VW U.S., UK or DE about this since yesterday afternoon still, but this is a good lead.  Read more

I said people should make their own door covers! I don’t think you need fancy bags, but I understand if you want to shill for them. A tire cover would be much more complicated to make yourself, otherwise I would have shared the same sentiment. Though if you want to buy a blank tire cover and then pin-and-needle Read more
