Tata Nano launches today - 56 mpg for $1,985 {Autoblog Green}
Mar 23rd 2009 3:38PM @gorr: if you typical drive involves 4 people with luggage, by all means get something else. For the rest of us, this would do just fine to get to work or train station.

Some new cars cheaper than used, including Altima and Civic hybrids {Autoblog Green}
Mar 22nd 2009 6:10PM Nobody's arguing that dealerships can knock off a few grands of so called "MSRP" (only to make it up with vin etching, rustproofing, administration fees, delivery charges, vehicle preparation charges, window tinting, wheel locks, block warmers, remote starters, overpriced accessories and so on).
The point I was making is that edmunds has gone so bias as to actually claim that an equally equipped 2-3 year old models on AVERAGE cost more than brand new. The market just doesn't work that way.
Allow me to make a simple example. Suppose I bought a 50" plazma from sony 3 years ago for $4k and they sell current model in the same line for $2k today. Would there be a person out there stupid enough to buy my used TV for $3k? (obviously there are tards out there whom dealership really like to tend to, but I'm speaking on average here). I think the answer is pretty evident.
Even if dealers bring prices down to factory costs, even before taxes, used cars still cost less when comparing equal models. I bought one car brand new and with all research I did and getting a good price (knowing factory costs), the payments I was making on it weren't able to keep up with its market value depreciating. I will never, ever in my life by a new car again just for that reason alone, save another dozen or so I can list.

Mar 22nd 2009 5:19PM Sorry, but this is a clear cut case of crap targeted at boosting sales. There isn't a clearly thinking person out there who would believe that equally equipped 2-3 year old model purchased privately would cost more than a current year model off the lot. I'm sorry, you have to be a complete tool to even consider this possibility.
Of course, you can always find idiots, especially employed by dealers who will set atrocious prices, but that's hardly a measuring stick. I had to deal with this myself, in fact a dealer was trying to convince me that a low mileage 2006 mazda 3 is worth just a few $K less than 2009.
Go-Ped goes farther with lithium ion battery option {Autoblog Green}
Oct 2nd 2008 10:53AM this is laughable... $3k for 16 miles at 20mph? and the thing isn't even water proof.
you can get a normal size scooter for less.
Pelosi commends Bush on 31.6 mpg by 2015 step {Autoblog Green}
Apr 23rd 2008 6:16PM So instead of switching to diesel and funding programs for alternative sources, you get this bullshit. This is the age when an average prius driver get over 40, VW touts 70 (http://blog.wired.com/cars/2008/02/vw-unveiling-an.html). Not to worry, real gas prices will soon kick in in North America pretty soon.
By 2015 price of gas should be somewhere between 6 and 9 bucks per US gallon. Lets see... double the cost of gas, improve efficiency by less than a quarter. This will wrap up suburb erosion going on now and cause an even greater inflation via reducing purchasing power of lower and middle class.
Grats on yet another failure. Hopefully your next prez will care about the country at least a little bit.
Friday humor: Record high gas prices shock small town {Autoblog Green}
Mar 9th 2008 10:19PM I've never seen how gas prices are displayed in the states. Wow... this 9/10 thing is such a scam. I imagine that's a pretty permament number and it's barely noticable at a glance.
Reminds me of the huge retail "75% off" signs with a micro print "up to".
Damien Hirst Napkin Doodle Sells for $37,000 {Luxist}
Nov 15th 2007 10:35AM wow... i can totally see how this went down... damien, sitting at a $50/drink lounge suddenly realized that buying 5 rounds for everyone left him a tad short on cash... "no worries" he though and quickly doodled a piece of shit on a napkin, raised it in the air proclaiming "one of a kind damien hirst, signed, starts at $15k".
