That will NEVER happen, the Feds rely on California for their budget way too much. Top 15 states in order of federal tax collections.

Looking at the Imec's innovative solid state battery tech, one is left with excitement at the fast charging stable batteries that are on their way for the future. Check out the video as they plan to out pace and replace the wet Li-ion batteries.

Just based on what they have released and I am reading elsewhere besides here, this mild hybrid system is very mild and really is not going to offer much other than complexity to the powertrain gas system. It will be interesting to see just how much they state this system will give their auto and real world testing actually shows. I honestly am not expecting much from this system.

My opinion on reading here and multiple other sites is that the Suicide doors are a mid cycle refresh. Could be the last Hurrah of the car as it gets those great doors and probably some very nice upgrades.

Keep it in perspective, we DO NOT have a state Income tax and our property taxes are still some of the lowest in the country. Sales tax is 10% but so is California which also has a state income tax. Pay as you go state.

Phil Murphy is the Gov since Jan 2018. How is the current price the blame of Chris Christy? Do not get me wrong as I think he is a criminal as well as a bad gov, but just wondering how the current gas price is his fault?

Plenty of people living in the past and no lost jobs, just a change in what job they have on the assembly line, at the charging station, etc.

Where is my Barf Bag? ?

Nope, regular unleaded. Premium Diesel I usually fuel up at Fred Meyers and they were $3.179 that morning and now $3.199 in the afternoon. Crazy, But I use the following site to check out prices. http://www.washingtongasprices.com/GasPriceSearch.aspx This site is focused on washington but uses the Gas buddy search engine.

Slim Shady for Sure!

I have to agree, not sure what specifically it is, but this is the first honda I have actually ever liked other than my Honda Boat motor. That little 10HP motor is awesome.

Happy B-Day, hope you had a blast!

What? ? You mean I have to have integrity, honesty and not blame it all on #FakeNews? Humans never tell a lie!

Hard time believing a company that created the defeat devices and then now says that no new hardware is needed, just a tweak on existing hardware to meet the 2020 emissions standards. Yea, PASS on Bosch and diesel.

Very funny but interesting read: https://jalopnik.com/jeep-s-success-and-hyundai-s-losses-illustrate-why-ford-1825562558

I agree, I hope Honda rethinks about it China only. At least bring it in as a true Honda here. I think it would sell well to the Honda Faithful.

I was hoping for so much more.

Seems Honda has a new sub brand called Everus and showed off their first EV auto for the Chinese market. https://www.autoblog.com/2018/04/25/honda-everus-ev-concept-beijing/#slide-7315575

Seems Bosch is trying to sell a new Snake oil potion that requires no new hardware but reduces Diesel to below the new 2020 standards on emissions for Europe. https://www.autoblog.com/2018/04/25/bosch-diesel-emissions-breakthrough/ I really hope auto companies ignore this and move forward with the superior Hybrid / EV quiet auto's.

OUTSTANDING INFO on Recalls https://www.iseecars.com/recalls This actually shows the current YTD #'s and it is very interesting. As of today 4/26/2018

Thank you, missed that post. Recalls also can be greatly taken out of context when you only have a chart and not the full picture and the start of the story is spot on I think when you then take the charts into account. QUOTE: "An analysis covering three decades of auto recalls says Porsche has the lowest recall rate and Volkswagen Group the highest. General Motors has the best recall timeliness of the major automakers. Tesla earns the top spot for recall proactiveness. iSeeCars.com analyzed automakers’ new-vehicle sales and NHTSA recall data from January 1985 through September 2016 to calculate three metrics: Recall rates demonstrating how often a manufacturer produces a vehicle with a defect relative to the number of cars it sells. Recall timeliness indicating how quickly and willing an automaker is to identify problems with its cars and initiate a recall within three years. Recall proactiveness reflecting the extent to which an automaker’s recall stemmed from its own investigation or NHTSA’s. " Be interesting to see if iseecars.com allows one to look at these figures in 5yr chunks.

So then what web site did you use and I will happily grab the data to look at?

@ccap41 Can you please at least just look at 2000 till now or 2008 till now as I would love to see the chart for the auto industry for the last 10 and 20 years of Recalls. Data like this would be very good at showing current trends better if broken down into 5 year segments. Thank you,

That is a nice looking CUV EV. Nice Job BMW.
