Isn’t this true of every Toyota competitor?

It has to be the Lincoln. If it doesn’t sell, then Lincoln’s time is likely short or Ford will be required to completely redo the brand at the cost of billions.

Does it get an interior on par with the XC90, which is widely considered the best interior south of $100,ooo? If so, it is an instant winner.

Dear Lexus:

I’ve never understood people who claim to have shit they don’t have. Even if it gets you in the door, you’re getting kicked out once people realize you’re full of shit.

I just can’t understand why Honda and Toyota haven’t done this yet. I’m sure some bean counter did the math and said the cost for the system would not meet market demand, but that just doesn’t add up.

For $30,000, this is a very competitive vehicle for those who want an electric vehicle. That may not be you, but thats ok!

These trucks are great at hualing kids and not-so-heavy stuff around, more efficiently than a full sized pickup.

Not bad. A bit of the corporate “lets steal Aston Martin’s look” grille. Some reasonably aggressive body lines.

The depreciation on these is comical. You can pick up a lightly used decade old S class for about 20% of the original sticker price. That, my friends, is amazing.

Nice job putting the most American of vehicles - the Jeep Wrangler - up front. I’ve driven a lot of fast and quick cars, I’ve driven classics, but there is simply nothing that compares to a Wrangler with the doors and top off.

I’m surprised that Volvo is actually going to sell what looks to be a full size wagon here in the US. Seeing as how no one buys them (and I don’t see this one as being any different) except the Volvo faithful, I thought they would put all their cards with crossovers like everyone else is sadly.

1. Escalade V-Sport(ish): First, I am not calling it a true V because no matter what you do, you can’t make an SUV handle like a lower, lighter vehicle.

I would buy this, just like I bought my V70R which sold like hotcakes and continues to by made

Every car and truck which goes down an assembly line is already bought. (that is, unless you’ve got Joe Eberhardt running manufacturing.)

The problem with QuickieLube places is that they don’t pay much. As a result, they’ll hire just about anyone, whether they know what the hell they’re doing to not. This includes people on work release who are going to regular jail if they don’t find a job. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for work release, but I don’t…

Perhaps a year is too harsh. Of course, when you compare it to the penalties for drug possession, 1 year is too light.

One of the best Jalopnik stories I’ve ever read. You combined good writing with interesting content and you talked directly to the relevant parties.

Jeep begs to differ.

So much this!
