I don’t think they ever made bad cars. They just got to the point where most people couldn’t afford them. Audi was like that too.

Whoever thinks a Subaru isn’t Japanese shouldn’t be allowed to comment. The real reason is most people either follow the fads of what’s popular today, or they can’t afford a BMW M3, Porsche, etc. Ultimately, it’s personal preference, but for a budget, American cars are best option. Germany makes good cars, and some fast ones, but $75k for a 400hp M3 is ridiculous.

Likewise, someone who thinks German cars are luxury only doesn’t really have a standing to comment either.

There are actually quite a handful of tuned German vehicles, most notably the BMW 335i. Anyways lets say you’re either on a budget, or just don’t like spending too much. You want the best thrill your money can buy. If you spend it on a German vehicle, your money would go into posh interior work and nifty gizmos, not entirely into grunt. However, with that exact same amount of money, you could buy an OK interior-ed car with an ok-sih engine, and spend the remaining money on engine upgrades.
For example:
You’ve got $35k. Depending on your interests, you can either buy a BMW 128i that will get you to 60mph in about 6 seconds, which aint all that bad, unless you could have a factory-new 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution that does it in 4.9 seconds, god only knows how many less seconds it would take if it were to be upgraded even further.
Personally, I wouldn’t ever buy German since it mostly consists of uppity interior and fancy sheet metal, things I wouldn’t really consider when buying a car. Its all preference I suppose.

battery electrics with latest generation batteries plus a quick-charge infrastructure would be more practical than overcoming the hydrogen hurdles.

It seems that a good use of hydrogen would be as the “batteries” to store excess generation of solar and wind plants to help match generation and demand. In other words, wind and solar would feed the grid but also create hydrogen through electrolysis when production outstripped demand.

Comment on How do cars with push button start work? by Love The Beast Super Duty 455 TA

The key fob on your key chain sends a one of a kind security signal to perimeter sensors inside the cars interior when you get in it. If it recognizes the correct signal it allows the car to start.

You can literally sit in the car, roll the window down, put the key fob in your hand and hold your hand just outside of the window and the car won’t start! Bring your hand and fob in the car and it starts.
