I think we can chalk this up to three major factors: Read more

The Cherokee/Grand Cherokee was easy, and there’s been ~30 years to figure it out. Read more
Customer: Hi, my lease is up and I’d like to buy my Mustang Mach-E. Read more
“people want some autonomy, but still want overall control over their vehicles,” Read more
This is just a small part of a bigger trend - not just towards SUVs, but also away from performance cars, and auto-enthusiasm generally. Read more
Sad day for the Hot Hatch. I bought my VN not too long ago. A track wheel and tire set, and 4 track days later, I’m still loving the car. I keep mine mostly stock. Zero issues, it’s fast enough, handles like a stellar FWD should, meaning I can induce both understeer and oversteer with the throttle, and it can just… Read more
The marketing hook of: “this is the film that made Andy want a buzz light year toy 26 years ago”, isn’t really much of a hook. No one ever gave a shit WHY Andy wanted a Buzz toy. It was irrelevant. All that mattered was it was a wildly popular toy. That was blatantly clear already and that was all that needed to be… Read more
I worked in the field sales organization during the Reid Bigland era so I’m intimately familiar with some of the (alleged) shenanigans that occurred during the FCA sales reporting fiasco. Read more
1,000% THIS. We have lax driver’s license tests and renewals as it is. I’ve thought about yearly, open-book tests and special licenses for a long time now. How many people don’t know how to drive their cars? How much they weigh? Understand basic physics? Every car that can accelerate rapidly, weighs 5,000+ lbs, EV’s,… Read more
How about instead of the consumer having to wait until it’s time to do their taxes to claim the credit, just give the credit straight to the manufacturer, and require they lop off that cost from the price of the vehicle? I know that’s wishful thinking at best, but having EVs be just straight-up cheaper out the door… Read more
Indignantly digs out the paperwork to find it is Hot Pepper. :(
Love the video your son took of the exhaust. Genuine happiness when hearing it!
This is by far my favorite car ever, it’s so rare that a car so perfectly nails a design that looks incredible from any angle. Just a rolling work of art, and without a doubt a future classic. What a machine!
THAT GREEN
It’s one of the most stunningly beautiful (if not THE most) cars on the road today, and it has the Audi R8 effect happening for it. What do I mean?
It’s a car that looks so different from the rest of the vehicles in its particular class, that even if certain features don’t necessarily work independently (such as the… Read more
Great point - as an Xer I can feel myself edging toward one of these as my next car if I ever get tired getting in and out of my 718. Read more
Owning the RCF with this same engine, I can say I love the LC. The idea of more luxury than my RC has is crazy. I love the green color outside but I’m not a fan of all the orange inside. It reminds me of what Volvo did with the V70R and that orange leather interior. I’m not sure I like the spoiler on the LC either. … Read more
Good writeup. These are absolutely stunning in person. Every retired boomer who goes out and buys a 911 actually wanted one of these, they just didn’t know it at the time.
A++ for exhaust note short clip, I remember asking for those years ago here on a review about a car with an insanely great sound yet had to go google to hear it.
None of this would’ve happened, IF HE’D JUST SHAVED OFF THOSE SIDEBURNS!
