The Decline of the 3-Seater Front Bench: Why Aren’t Cars Made This Way Anymore?
For those of you from the older generation who remember this—up until the 1980s, you could still get a front bench seat that fit three people comfortably, especially in full-size American cars. I guess that was the peak of American comfort and engineering. You could just sprawl out on those things and ride in style. But a few decades ago, they pretty much vanished. So… why did they go away? Let’s talk about it.

The Honda Turbo Lag: Why It Took So Long.
This is a question people bring up a lot: for the past few decades, Honda hasn't really seemed interested in building turbocharged engines—they've always preferred naturally aspirated setups. Just look at some of their cars, like Civics and Accords—turbochargers were either rare or nonexistent for a long time. Even their sports cars mostly avoided forced induction. The early S2000 and NSX, for example, came with high-revving NA engines and never had turbos, while other brands like Toyota or Mitsubishi slowly started embracing them. So it kind of makes you wonder—what's up with Honda?

Did the U.S. ever have a match for the Sierra Cosworth or Lotus Carlton in the '80s and '90s?
The idea of fast cars in America has pretty much always been the same: take the cheapest cars and stuff the biggest engines into them—that's the whole muscle car thing. Europe, on the other hand, leans more toward smaller cars with small engines and sharp handling. I guess that’s because the roads over there are a lot different than in the U.S.

Bezos-Backed Slate Auto Unveils Affordable EV Truck: Can It Succeed in a Shaky U.S. Economy?
It's a bit hard to see; the concept is great, but I'm not sure how Americans will react, especially because of its size. I mean, the Slate Truck is basically a small car, and I'm not sure Americans are going to love that, especially when it comes to pickups. It could end up being a niche vehicle, like the Kei cars in Japan, but how's that going to play out in the U.S.? I really don't know.

Slate Auto's Electric Pickup: A Bold Design That Highlights Battle Scars
I just read about this company called Slate that’s making small, no-frills pickups you can get for cheap. Actually, the idea is kind of interesting. The Slate Truck is an electric vehicle that costs under $20,000 (after federal incentives) and is supposed to go into production next year. It only seats two, but it has a bed big enough to hold a sheet of plywood. It gets about 150 miles on a charge, only comes in gray, and the only way to listen to music while driving is if you bring your phone and a Bluetooth speaker. It’s basically the bare minimum of what a modern car can be—and yet, it’s taken three years of development to get here.
