Their problem is they cost too much. For such small cars they are far more expensive than a Chevy Sonic or a Nissan Versa. I know they want to be more up market then that, but that would also mean offering something that was an upmarket product.
Why is that? All of these anti-government types are like that. They love to suck that government teat and use all the services it provides, when it comes time to pay the tax bill that is when they start to complain.
Oh noes they spelled some jocks name wrong on slashdot! One that played quite possible the most boring sport this side of curling. I take that back, if you are drunk curling is actually fun, unlike baseball.
I say when a tractor trailer buys it, that drives up the cost for normal folks. Do you really want Joe Trucker driving up prices, when cargo could be rail?
1. is slowly being fixed by better batteries. 2. Charge times at a station can be down to 10 minutes already 3. Smart grid handles this. 4. not really needed since we have so much off peak power 5. If you parents are that far away consider taking a plane.
Only the ones made by GM really sucked then. The 80s Diesel Mercs are fine cars. The sad thing is Americans learned Diesel sucks from that period, what they should have learned is GM sucks.
The companies name is VolksWagen, VW for short. Yes V is pronounced like F in German, but that does not change the spelling.
For the vast majority of uses it won't matter. If you could get me 60mpg I would take 20 seconds 0-60. Old beetles were that bad and lots of people bought those. They also had crap for a top speed and were not what anyone would call responsive.
Using taxes to buy stuff for everyone is not theft, no matter how many crazies claim it is. The Right to healthcare is based on many things, not one of them is theft nor coercion. I see no wall keeping him or you in the USA.

I know why they picked that time, I also know they should have then selected a different day.
Do you really believe there are no days when the launch window would be between 9am and 9pm?
So pick a different day.
Are there no days at all when the launch window would be between 9am and 9pm?
Also they get horrible fuel economy. Why buy such a small car and get worse milage than a Corolla?
NASA you suck at public relations. Why in the hell is this launch so damn early? How are people supposed to watch this live?

Diesel fuel, you mean. Not all gasoline engines are Otto-cycle. The Prius uses the Atkinson cycle.
Original Diesel wanted his engine to run on coal dust.
That might work, I still contend that watching it would be boring though.

Fiat failed?
They just started selling the 500s in the USA, and supposedly we will get the Abarths this year.
Sure, but that VW one at least ran for a long time before it died.
Modern diesels don't have these issues, by the way.
Who is WV, is that like a chinese knockoff of a VW?

1 liter of oil?
20 weight? 30 weight? WTF are you talking about.
All these fuels come from oil. Diesel is no more oil than gas/petrol is.
No. Most driving is work and back. That distance is not really impacted by fuel costs unless they get very very low or very very high.
Sorry about that. Close enough to call a wash though.
Nothing like Mexico or Iraq. You know, actual failed states.

So then life is not a right? Ownership of property is not a right? Free speech is not a right? They can all be taken away.
Ownership of property is based on finite goods.
So I can take your land when you are not looking?
That would be self reliance. We can make more doctors.
If it worked, maybe. It does not work though.
He is a nutjob, thanks for confirming that.

Yes.
LTE is quite a bit faster than 56k, even 3G beats that.
Failed state?
With a higher per capita GDP than the USA, longer life expectancy and similar laws. Care to explain?
