If you were to plug a car into Nanticoke GS (The largest coal plant in Ontario) instead of running it from gasoline (even a SULEV), you would still end up with less pollution as a result. Coal has come a long way - Nanticoke puts out roughly the same amount of power it did in 1970, yet emits six times less pollutants. So - Since it seems like everybody agrees that coal plants are evil, and having an electric car powered by Nanticoke would STILL be cleaner than a SULEV, you can't tell me cars are clean. Sorry.

It's so true. I really hate seeing people commute in Suburbans.

Cars are getting smaller. Americans keep getting fatter.

Fuel efficiency question
I drive down the Hamilton Escarpment fairly regularly at night, without many people around, on the 403. It's a fairly steep (for an expressway) 2km long downhill. Just out of curiosity, which of the following would use less fuel? Situation 1 - Start at 120 km/h at top - Push in clutch, let car idle to bottom where it would be at about 100 km/h - Accelerate back up to 120 km/h gently Situation 2 - Start at 120 km/h at top - Leave in 5th, take foot off gas, going about 85 km/h at bottom - Accelerate back up to 120 km/h gently I usually just leave my cruise on, because I don't want to slow down just to save a little fuel. On a side note, I found out that my Cobalt really doesn't like to run with the engine off - I coasted down this hill a couple of times when I first got it (shut off engine, restart at bottom with clutch). After I did this, both times, the fuel gauge showed Empty the rest of the trip. The next day, it reset to normal.

Most common letter?
I think Northstar got the point and Croc missed it. I'm saying - all up all the "A" cars, all the "B" cars, and which comes out with the most? It's not just automatic because of the Corolla. I still think C chenches it though, by reason of most of the cars Northie posted.

Most common letter?
I was thinking about this today. What starting letter of the model name has sold the most cars? I have a theory, but I'll wait to share it. I can't confirm the answer here, and I wonder if it even can be confirmed... e.g. Chevy Silverado would be an "S".

Nissan Studying Anti-Drunk Driving Tech
Ontario has laws where if you are caught drunk driving, you have to install a system like this in your own car. I don't see this being good for Nissan's sales. While it is a good idea in theory - I'm surprised it made it past the bean counters.

Some song lyrics, just because
Hmmm... how about this? Would you believe that's brand new? Wolfmother is a great new band that would be right at home in the 1970s.

Citroen C-Matisse Concept
Now that's a f**ing door! That's sweet - I've seen many sedans do the lambo door conversion on the front, then it comes to the back and they're like, duuuuurrrrr, whatdoido? So, they leave it alone. Borrrring. This, on the other hand, is creative.
