QOTD: Warranty Limits
We told you the other day about a Toyota owner who is upset a damaged engine won't be covered under warranty after he drove his car on the track.
We've also covered an issue in which Ford Bronco owners complain that a factory feature has damaged their vehicles after off-road use -- and that Ford is denying warranty claims.
QOTD: Can Chrysler Get Its EV Act Together?
With the exception of the Jeep 4xes that have hit the market in recent years, Stellantis has seemed behind the curve when it comes to electrification. Sure, the Dodge Hornet offers a PHEV powertrain, as does the Alfa Romeo Tonale. And the Dodge Daytona concept previews an EV shift.
On the other hand, Chrysler is hitting the reset button on its EV plans. The Airflow concept won't be the company's first EV.
QOTD: Will EV Shift Force People to Hold On to ICE Vehicles?
A chief scientist at Toyota has said that forcing people to buy EVs could actually make them want to keep their internal-combustion engine vehicles longer.
QOTD: Does Tesla Need to Advertise?
We mentioned yesterday that Tesla is going to advertise more. But does the company really need to?
QOTD: How to Succeed in China?
Ford is scaling back in China. Yet, at the same time, General Motors' Buick brand survived the brand purges in 2008-2009 in part because of its success in China.
So, what is the best way for non-Chinese makes to succeed in that market?
QOTD: How Old is Your Fleet?
We posted yesterday about the aging vehicle fleet. Now I want to know -- how old is your personal fleet?
QOTD: The Worst Factory-New Car You've Ever Driven?
We didn't snag an invite to the Vinfast VF8 first drive, but I did read some reviews over the end of last week and during the weekend. They were some of the harshest reviews I've ever read.
QOTD: Dealing With The Metric System
I promise that today's QOTD is (likely) the last one I do based on my international travel last week.
It's also something that was already on my mind long before I booked this vacation since I am an American working for a Canadian company.
Yup, we're gonna talk about the metric system.
QOTD: Forbidden Fruit
As I noted yesterday, I was spotting a lot of unusual (to us) vehicles while I was out of the country on vacation last week.
So, naturally, I wanted to ask you about forbidden fruit and what cars you'd bring here if you could. But there's a twist.
QOTD: Car Spotting in a Foreign Land
I was on vacation over the past 9-ish days -- don't ask me the exact number, since there was a lot of time-zone crossing and I don't want to do the math. I was in Tanzania, and while the focus of the trip was spotting animals in the Serengeti, I also was doing some serious car spotting during the time we spent nearer the large cities.
QOTD: How Are You Saving On Car Insurance?
We know that local news loves to do service journalism, and last month, KSAT in San Antonio published a piece about five ways to save on car insurance.
QOTD: Driving Rules
Years ago, teenage me was leafing through an issue of Car and Driver that was already a bit old when I happened upon one of those rare magazine/newspaper columns that changes your life, or at least how you see things.
QOTD: Missing the Drive?
Come Sunday, I am blowing this pop stand for an overseas vacation. I'm skipping across the pond with one of my parents on a family journey -- though thanks to the magic of advance scheduling, you may still see my byline here and there while I'm out.
I've seen the itinerary, and it looks like I won't be driving a car from the moment I return a press car today until I am back.
That's fine -- but it got me pondering something.
QOTD: Are YOU Going to Buy an EV Any Time Soon?
I am almost certain we've asked this question, or a variation of it, relatively recently, but I want to ask it anyway in light of recent stories -- are YOU going to, or at least willing to, buy an EV any time soon?
QOTD: Will Ford's Train-Station Rehab Spur More Development?
Ford's long-awaited revitalization of the old Michigan Central train station has begun.
