Semi-related question I was wondering about recently - how is it that Alibaba has a better consumer-friendly open model (for coding anyway) than research-leading companies like Google?

I have no doubt that the American military is hugely capable.

But as the saying goes, the fish rots from the head. When leadership is replaced based on loyalty to one man, and not merit, all that capability is steadily eroded.

My thoughts exactly! Get the benefits of the electric powertrain (no gearing, instant torque), with the proven range-extension of the ICE generator.

They are not detached from reality. They just know that repeating a lie works to whitewash what they are systematically doing, and confuse enough people into inaction.

All well and good until we found out that Google updated the name before GNIS managed to do it. They went out of their way to score points as quickly as possible.

Well, he did get elected so...

Doesn't even matter who owns them. Reliability is consistently terrible and the vehicles are consistently nice to drive.

I heard that term about the Hyundai Santa Fe first. Now it's the Chinese manufacturers giving JLR competition.

Of course if you drive the actual vehicle back to back with a Land Rover, you'll find that looks or interior do not a Rover make. For now anyway.

Is this satire?

I'm not so sure that motorcycle emissions are much better than a car's, even if they do consume less gas. Cars have very complicated emissions systems and are under stricter regulations.

I've also never been able to get anywhere close to 3l/100km. As soon as you move onto bigger displacement bikes, you're looking at around 6l/100km, which is comparable to a hybrid car that weights 5-6 times what the bike does! It's far from an extremely efficient mode of transportation given the significantly reduced utility.

Regardless, ride as long as you enjoy it, or until you have to recalculate the amount of risk you can afford!

Exactly right. OP determines value differently than a mega corporation.

I was surprised cause I thought the Focus was fairly reliable.

Turned out the post was about an Escape. Title is wrong.

Must be viral if it says so in the title.

Sounds like an Ayreon song.
