I think it helps that FCA’s products are well styled. Everything I can think of off the top of my head is handsome and clean, without relying on flavor of the week gimmicks, fake vents, floating roofs, weird C pillars, running lights that zig zag up to the A pillar, etc.

Jalops: I WILL TOTALLY BUY THIS CAR IF THEY ACTUALLY MAKE A MANUAL

And I bet your 1969 Charger sees about as much drag strip action as these do offroad trails.

“Red truck good, blue truck bad. Vote red truck.” 

Geriatriq.

From talking to an engineer, one reason they stopped going with rear engines was fuel. Fuel tanks can be big. You don’t want them in the front of the car because they esplode real good when hit head on. You don’t want them hanging out of the ass end of the car because, again, to quote Terry Crews, “EXPLOSIONS!” Most…

Rule #1: Never post a video when an article will suffice. Most people don’t have the time (or an appropriate setting) to watch a video, but all of us have 60 seconds to read a condensed list of tips.

The 2020 VW Harlequin Golf.

Generally speaking, the people who write articles like this don’t really understand finance.

I really don’t think the average Jalop writer knows a lot about commerce nor the auto business these days. They do however know that their job depends on clicks.

Baby steps people. Progress. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

Let’s not forget the car’s most exciting feature:

Standing at a traffic light when it goes green and listening to all the grey/black/white blobs have their 4cly engines sputter back to life is the saddest experience I’ve had in a while.

We get it. You don’t like trucks. In a little over a month, you have posted three articles implying trucks are terrible. Don’t buy one.

In the midwest (which exists even though it’s not New York or Los Angeles), people drive trucks instead of SUVs and sedans. They can be just as luxurious as either of those, ride…

You have obviously not seen a C8 in person...it is not an attractive car.  At all.  The C7 is much better looking and frankly, all of the performance you could need or handle.  

I am so sick of socialized risk. I am in a tax bracket that gets soaked to pay for those above and below me. I can handle helping the less fortunate, but subsidizing the hyper wealthy makes me want to smash things.

If he wanted the real experience, he would’ve used “Larry” and learned something.

This is a very interesting piece, thank you for sharing it!  I especially appreciate the lack of snarky, petulant commentary about today’s Bugatti, Winkelmann or the VAG.  Thanks for sticking to the high road.  

This. I really wish David or Andrew were writing all the content here. They seem to be the only balanced automotive viewpoints of the writing staff. Its like everyone else hates cars or car culture. I have always loved Jalopnik for its irreverence and counter culture attitude, but it seems like most of the writers…

Actually somebody did paint the car this way...
