    Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf Charging Cost

    These cars (plug-in hybrid) don't make sense to own unless gas price double. And by then, I can imagine electricity price will go up with it. If you want to save money, get a used econobox. If you want to save the environment, move closer to your work or a city where you can live without a car.

    Audi Quattro Concept First Drive

    Even if it doesn't compete with the V10 R8, there are good amount of vehicles for $150k people could choose over this car. How about comparing this to a GT-R? It is really overpriced for a piece of "tradition" along with the car. Don't get me wrong, I still love this car's design from every...

    Huge decrease in MPGs. What the...

    The sample size is too little. If you are consistently getting 22-23 mpg highway, then I would say you might have a problem. I attempted to drive conservatively to save gas on my Celica once and that tank ended up doing only 22mpg, while I do 26 mpg most of the time on lead foot driving.

    240,000 potential purchasers... only 10,000 will be built...

    I highly doubt that the full 240,000 will buy a Volt at the end of the day - if they are being offered one at full price. These are potential customers that will probably cross shop all the hybrid cars. If they really have 240k potential customers standing by, people would be put on a 5 years...

    Looking to find a nice used vehicle for $8k - $10k

    Make an offer at 9k. 11k is too much. My friend sold one with 120k miles for 9k.

    Audi Quattro Concept First Drive

    I was reading the article and I was loving it, but I didn't get the fact why they would produce this car with spec resemblance to the TT RS line. Then I saw the price. I'm sorry Audi, while I can't bash on this masterful piece of work, the price is ridiculous. I think I would just buy the...

    I like Tanner, he speaks from the voice of reason and he's a real driver. The other two idiots I'm less impressed about.

    Volt gets official EPA mileage rating(s)

    My point is that they are still selling SUVs (regardless of size). And yes, having able to use govt funding to cake walk a bankruptcy help. What brought down GM was their bloated pension liabilities and less so with not selling enough cars like Chevy Cruzes.

    New (to me) Car: 1998 Lexus GS400 or 2005 Nissan Maxima SL

    I would take the Lexus. You have a good $3k extra for any type of maintenance and future breakdown. If not, you can always add some spinning rims yo!

    Volt gets official EPA mileage rating(s)

    Pretty much on point. Its for those idiots over at Beverly Hills who think buying a Prius will save the earth (while their 5000 sqft mansion will take an impressive amount of energy to cool down from the California heat). This car is such a marketing hoax. And remember the Volt "230 MPG" banner...

    A 4 pages thread discussing about a pointless vehicle that cost $41,000? MPG is so overrated. "my car does 90 mpg" oh wow!

    Volt gets official EPA mileage rating(s)

    I'm not 100% sure, but if you drive on the highway at ~ 70mph - the mpg diff. would probably come close between a Prius and a Corolla/Civic. http://blogs.insideline.com/roadtests/2010/11/big-list-of-fuel-economy-october-2010.html You can check their fuel usage on their long term Prius. The...

    Top Gear USA Tonight!

    I finally got to catch up with this show. Being a Top Gear UK fans for years, I've came to expect greatness when you attached "Top Gear" to your franchise. Aside from the lack of chemistry (and Brits' sense of humor) between to hosts, the show is fine. It serves as a good filler while they...

    How are you guys valuing RMBS? I'm wondering. The company total asset is $555 mil. The market value is trading at $2 bil - according to Yahoo Finance. The most Free Cash Flow it squeezes is $40 mil a year. So I'm guessing the patent and royalties they are going to make from it is going to...

    Sandra Bullock: "Thanks for ruining my career with a very bad decision."

    It's a bad movie, but I don't think her acting was bad. I mean she played the character pretty well. It was just a bad script. I am so sure there is worse acting out there.

    The company is then trading at 20x sales - which is ridiculous already. Assuming they have 100% winning the lawsuit and it jump 5x in revenue. Still, the stock will then trade at 4-5x sales - a reasonable measure. So how much upside would it have? I don't suppose the thing will trade at 20x...
