Maybe the Chinese can just put fake nameplates from other manufacturers on the vehicles. Kind of like Subaru did with the seats in the back of the Brat to get around the chicken tax.

Haven’t seen a 3rd gen Quattroporte in ages. Although seeing one moving under its own power would have been an even rarer sight. Giugiaro’s styling ages so well and this design still looks fantastic.

BS. Our 2013 Outback was showing nearly 150k when my son sold it. With zero trans issues. Our 2018 Outback? Also, no CVT issues.

Actually the owner purposely parked to the right side to avoid a vehicle on the left. And we both know the owner of the Alfa who was not moving it. So good parking.

Compared to most vehicles on the road, it’s small.

Also, not everyone has easy access to charging. Especially here in the US.

Why not both? My wife drives an EV and I have an economical ICE Crosstrek.

I’m a big fan of the Trax. Drives great, really good ergonomics and very roomy and usable interior. Plus 30mpg combined. When the average new vehicle transaction price is close to $50k, the Trax is a screaming bargain.

Spending a few days with a 2026 Chevrolet Trax in Marina Blue Metallic. 1LT spec w options. Base price only $23,100 and as equipped, a still affordable $26,280. Has adaptive cruise control, heated steering wheel & seats, remote start, etc. It’s small but looks huge next to the Alfa and Daytona.

100k is a pretty low bar these days. I would expect any modern engine, of any configuration, to last past 100k with proper maintenance.

Saw two Mustang GTs last time I was in Edinburgh! Such a great city, but that would not be my car of choice there. An Audi A1 like this one I shot would be perfect.

Going through an old drawer. I might not always be on the winning side, but still we persist and resist. I wasn’t even old enough to vote when I got that McGovern button. First campaign I volunteered for was Dukakis. First winning campaign? Clinton.
Old presidential campaign buttons. Kerry Edwards, McGovern ‘72 and no W.

Considering Don Jr. is an investor in and advisor to Polymarket, the likelihood of any restrictions on the prediction market segment is wishful thinking.

This should be a cautionary tale for all of us, not just journalists. We’ve opened a Pandora’s Box by legalizing and embracing this insanity. www.timesofisrael.com/gamblers-try...

Gamblers trying to win a bet on Polymarket are vowing to kill me if I don’t rewrite an Iran missile story
Bettors are using death threats to try to get The Times of Israel's military correspondent to change his report on a missile impact in central Israel. This is his alarming account

Indeed. But with Don Jr being heavily invested in Polymarket, it’s nearly impossible any restrictions will be imposed.

The Trax is pretty great as is. But I’m all for luxury economy cars. I still want an Aston Martin Cygnet.

I pumped gas through high school. While there were some perks (for a teenage boy), it’s not a great gig. Although if you are really good at cleaning windshields, you’ll get some tips.

If it’s an autonomous delivery vehicle with that footprint, should be able to carry a lot more cargo. If it’s going to be exposed cargo, a low, flat platform with fold down straight sides would be optimum.

Fully autonomous “minimal” cargo carrier. With the rear seats down, a Subaru Outback has more cargo space than the CT’s vault.

Not true. The 2nd gen was widely praised. After reading the May ‘83 R&T review, I ran down to my local Honda dealer and gave them a $500 deposit. It was my first new car and still one of my favorites all these years later.

Agreed. That’s one of the problems with spec racing that and very restrictive regs. No one is pushing the limits and ultimately going too far.
