This is one of those moments that helps me appreciate that i don't know what i don't know. Its like when Matt makes a U-turn in a car he's never driven and can estimate the turning radius to the inch. You guys are good.

Re: Misha's video with the Ioniq, only place you could tell the Ioniq 5N was a near 2.5 ton car was when he almost rear ended a red Seat Leon Cupra and on some corner entries, they really need to get weight down but agree that that looks supremely fun. Pity he kept it with just the noise on and no gears, it sounded like a sports bike stuck in 4th gear.

The lack of apparent car culture in Spain it's more related with lower income than a Capitalist country as the USA, congested cities, living mostly in apartments, and accessible public transportation.

@redlion145 Ай бұрын

I do envy Barcellona and their "super block" urban design. I don't know if that's ubiquitous across all Spanish cities, but that seems a much more social and livable way to construct cities. As far as affecting car culture, accessible public transport would lead to less personal car ownership, sure, and I'm guessing Spain has polluter taxes and import taxes that restrict the availability of imports and large displacement engines, which again would dampen enthusiasm for car ownership. Those two factors along with a lower median income level than most other Western countries are probably the biggest factors. But I don't think living in an apartment or a congested city is any particular hinderance to car culture. LA has plenty of apartments and congestion and it has a vibrant car scene, same with Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, etc, etc.

@kylem324 Ай бұрын

I think the other hindrance is the implementation of low emission zones in city centres. Depending on what emission standards a car was built for, you might not even be able to drive it in some city centres.

@RogerM88 Ай бұрын

@@kylem324 More like high taxes to own a car with big engine displacement. As an example, a 4 cylinder engine with more than 2.0L, pays exorbitant taxes. Just imagine with some V8, it would be obnoxious.

Can we have Jason Cammisa back so that he can eat some humble pie regarding his idea of "journalism" on the cybertruck?

@redlion145 Ай бұрын

I love Cammisa, but his take on Teslas right now is so off-putting. I can't reconcile it with his excellent takes on basically every other car. It's like he's willing to ignore all of the ownership experience in order to focus on some weird engineering quirks. No one cares that they entirely redesigned the thing to be 97% of the original scale AFTER they had a working prototype because Elon said so; people care that the doors and hood will slice your fingers off, and the axles will fall off, and the truck apparently can't handle driving through standing water (or handle water in general, on the stainless steel) among other problems. I don't understand how he thinks that his is a realistic take on their brand.

One thought on the lack of a car culture in Spain, relative to their neighbors is that Spain was a repressive, economically closed-off country until the early sixties when longtime dictator Franco was forced to liberalize. Prior to then, Franco believed in keeping Spain isolated, or what he considered "self-sufficient." Cars were a sparse luxury enjoyed by a narrow percentage and even then the industry was largely nationalized and there weren't many imports.

@RogerM88 Ай бұрын

You really believe that? It's more related to economical reasons such as income, and housing being mostly apartments. Add to that congested cities, and access to public transportation.

@nickb863 Ай бұрын

@@RogerM88 Then how do you explain a larger car culture in France or Italy that have similar economic score in terms of a development index. Answer, Spain's lack of an integrated market economy and isolation throughout the post-war means those things weren't valued and that might be an enduring generational attitude
