I discovered my neighbourhood was developed in the 1840s so decided to add an 1840 section to my ‘cars are getting bigger’ drawing.All the same scale. pic.twitter.com/fhg2oDgDc3— Michael (@baoigheallain) March 11, 2022

In the land of the free, why can’t we have mini-pickup trucks like the Taliban and ISIS?
― circles, Tuesday, 2 May 2023 16:01 (one year ago) link
kind of a silly piece considering compact or at least smaller pickups are trending hard right now, i understand they might not be small enough for that guy but i feel like it wouldve been worth exploring that on the heals of the maverick doing so well that there are strong rumors that the toyota stout and the subaru baja are making a comeback, gotta think chevy will make one too, the light truck is back baby
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 2 May 2023 16:10 (one year ago) link
its a ridiculous vehicle category imho, but if people want a pickup shaped car they should be able to have it

it's a good headline though.

the new mazda cx-90 could probably qualify as a station wagon disguised as an suv

i like what theyre doing generally, now if they could just make their cars harder for children to steal

on the contrary all cars should be made very easy for children to steal - just my humble opinion

We are gradually starting the process of looking into an eventual replacement for the 12-year-old accord and want an electric, but not an SUV. It's surprising how few options there are, esp if you don't want a Tesla. Nissan Leaf maybe?
Or maybe one of these electric "compact" or "sub-compact" SUVs is close enough to a sedan that we won't feel the difference. Also just don't want anything too ostentatious looking or that we will be too afraid to ding bc H is gonna commute to the Bronx in it.

i would totally get the MG EV wagon if i were getting a car but i am not, so
― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 10 August 2023 15:01 (one year ago) link
probably not available in the US sadly
reason why so many electrics are crossovers is cause the battery goes in the floor raising the height of the car and a crossover is basically just a tall car

i like the hyundai ioniq 5, its bigger than an accord but not super big about the size of a subaru forester

― lag∞n, Thursday, 10 August 2023 15:35 (one year ago) link
its gotten good reviews
i gotta say in defense of the crossover a hatchback is so much better than a trunk, you can fit so much more stuff in there especially when you consider putting the seats down, you can even sleep in there, tho it is too bad there arent more wagons which is the true sweet spot
― lag∞n, Thursday, 10 August 2023 15:50 (one year ago) link
i keep a sleeping kit in my subaru outback (wagon shaped crossover) at all times, tho tbh ive never slept in it without planning ahead to sleep in it, still i like having the sleeping bag sleeping mat camping pillow in there i feel ready, this is my version of prepping thinking that i might go on a fun spontaneous drive some day
― lag∞n, Thursday, 10 August 2023 15:55 (one year ago) link
Yeah, both a neighbor and a relative have one of those and seem to like them. And I think they look kinda sharp.
I hear you on the hatchback too, other car is a CRV, have managed to haul pretty large pieces of furniture from facebook marketplace and such, good for the occasional music gig, oversized duffle bags to sleepaway camp etc.

yeah i like how they look feel like hyundai is blazing a trail away from the super cut madface look that dominates the industry which is nice

St. Louis Police told my parents to keep their Prius keys in a lead-lined box.
I do not know whether this is even remotely* true, but there is apparently an idea out there that a decently clever person can clone your keys from a distance.
* no pun intended
― Bonobo Vox (Ye Mad Puffin), Thursday, 10 August 2023 18:44 (one year ago) link
You don't need a lead-lined box, just an RFID pouch. Ten years ago these were all tech demos at hacker conferences, now it's easy enough that you can buy theft devices on the cheap. This is a legit threat - thieves here in SoCal all know which makes and models are vulnerable. Flipper Zero makes this stuff look like gaming.I suspect we'll see ever more blurring of the sedan/crossover/SUV definitions as the manufacturers realize that you can completely rethink design. I'm fascinated by construction of the Silverado EV where the body is the battery, or the battery is the body - whichever.One big plus to Hyundai's Ioniq 5, is that it (and Kia's EV6) have significantly faster charging rates. This could be a big deal depending on your situation, use-case, etc.

lol, apparently Toyota has now gotten into the game as well with the "bZ4X" - possibly the most "we ran out of names" name I've ever seen.
