QOTD: What Else Should Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Add?
Porsche is adding some neat features to its smartphone-mirroring systems -- which has me wondering, what else can be added?
QOTD: Jobs Vs NIMBYs
We reported yesterday about the resistance Ford is facing toward building a new plant. So naturally, I wanted to hear what you think.
QOTD: Learning How to Drive
Watching NASCAR's race at Atlanta last night, I started thinking about how the manual transmissions on the next-gen cars are sequential and that the drivers don't need to use the clutch pedal to shift. This led me down a mental rabbit hole to my youth and the first manual-transmission vehicles I remember driving -- farm tractors.
Bear with me -- I am going somewhere with this, I promise.
QOTD: Should Race Series Mix It Up?
I posted yesterday that in my opinion, NASCAR should continue to mix up the types of tracks it races on.
Now it's your turn.
QOTD: Will (and Should) Big Tech Build a Car?
Yesterday we posted yet again about whether or not the long-rumored Apple car might or might not happen.
QOTD: Summertime Blues
It's the day after the Fourth of July and we're all dragging a bit. So, what do you do to counteract the post-fireworks malaise?
QOTD: NASCAR Goes City
I will be leaving in a few minutes to head to downtown Chicago to work on our coverage of NASCAR's Grant Park 220 race. So, with that in mind, I have a question for you.
QOTD: Will New Product Boost Infiniti?
Scanning the news today, I came across a story about Infiniti's plans to unveil four new models, and while this could've been a standard news post, I decided it also worked as a QOTD.
QOTD: Missing Full Serve?
We reported yesterday on how Oregon is finally allowing drivers to use self-serve gas pumps.
Should the Volkswagen Beetle Come Back or Remain Dead?
Autoblog reports via Autocar that no one should expect the Volkswagen Beetle (or Scirocco) to ever return.
QOTD: What Gas Prices Are You Seeing?
With Washington State dethroning California as the state with the highest gas prices, I am wondering -- what are you seeing near you?
QOTD: Does American Made Matter to You?
Cars.com's American-Made Index list for this year is out and it's getting buzz this week. We covered part of it the other day.
Yours truly also said through a Zoom briefing on the list.
QOTD: Are You Worried About Auto Loans?
We reported on auto-loan delinquencies yesterday since they're at a record high, though subprime loans are the biggest cause for concern.
QOTD: Influenced by the Automotive Press?
After last week's story on how Consumer Reports slapped the "avoid" label on the popular Ford F-150, I was going to ask you how much CR shapes your purchase decisions. The magazine is popular, and I know a lot of people, both car enthusiasts and not, who trust it.
Yet sometimes CR says not to buy a car and it sells well. Or vice versa.
After some reflection, I figured opening this QOTD to the larger automotive press would generate a more robust discussion.
QOTD: What Movie Car Would You Drive?
I was channel-surfing the other night and came across the final Back to the Future movie. Now, like any child of the '80s, I like DeLoreans -- though I prefer the original to the time-machine converted since they look cleaner -- but I really, really love the Toyota pickup Marty dreams about. The same one he gets after he returns from the Old Wet.
