This thing was a CP when it was new, and it’s still a CP.

There was a good reason Western countries weren’t Russian to buy the Lada.  

You’ve stumbled on their new tagline: “Not being annoyed is more important than being impressed.”

Money making assets depreciate too. They’ve even factored it into the tax code.

That sucking sound you hear is FCA failing to revive the AMC brand to take on the Outback with a new Eagle.

I’m a real estate broker - mostly land - so I do a whole lotta driving! Its a fantastic car for that sort of thing!

I have full coverage on a 17-year-old car that gets driven 2,000 miles/year. The savings to cut down to just liability aren’t that great, especially if you have a multiple vehicle/homeowner discount. Basically it’s like +$15/mo to make sure that if a tree falls on my hood or a vandal breaks a window, the car will get…

This country builds a shitload of cars capable of burning E-85. Very few people actually burn E-85 in their vehicles.

Porsche keeps the same car on the road for about 50 years and it is “tradition” but Nissan does it any they are “lazy”. It could be worse, like a BMW/Toyota fusion.

I have always been a Ford truck guy, too. Unfortunately, all the Ford dealers in my area were price gouging in 2015, so I bought a Ram. I’m ready for a new truck now and I think I’ll stick with the Ram. It’s been a great truck.

4.8k for a 12 year old salvage titled Chrysler product?

Neutral: Everyone willingly loads all their data up into the Cloud. Such a nice, friendly sounding name.

And just like modern BMWs, they are stuck in the shop with broken sensors that are waiting to be fixed by the manufacturer after being forced to admit they fucked up.

Should we expect to see Jalopnik put a halt to all road tests, then? I mean, we must drive less, right?

“unfortunate setback for labor in the US”. They all still have good paying jobs with benefits. I would imagine if they Unionized and VW closed the plant or reduced the shifts, it would probably be worse for labor in America.

(Jalopnik is proudly a union shop; we and our sister sites are represented by the Writers Guild of America East.)

I’m sure declining sales have nothing to do with the $37,000 average car price.

Trucks are the internet porn of vehicles. People are like “Nah, I don’t need that” and then open their browser at 2am and go to the RAM configurator.

You would have the attention of the entire Jalopnik commentariat if it were the last diesel Cruze hatchback with a manual in Pepperdust Metallic (the closest thing to brown). None, however, would be willing to have actually bought one, however.

Such a beautiful interior with the screen put away.
