Tesla Model S.

Any time I have to back up with a trailer. No single good story about it, just suck at it every time, even with the U-Haul utility trailers. I can either get the trailer to go where I want or the car, never both.

Not generally popular but popular among car guys - I dislike wagons, saying this as someone with an Allroad in the family. It costs the same as a Q5 (or sometimes more depending if their running specials), gets marginally better fuel economy, but in return you’d be surprised just how cramped it feels compared to a…

Just a quick reminder of how bad Porsche interiors used to be in the early naughts:

Hmmm... Jalopnik trashing something that’s free because it has ads all over it.  Interesting.

The best answer - Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer - has already been mentioned multiple times.

That’s easy - the entire Hummer brand.

Counterpoint - F1 at Indy was a great weekend - camping across the street, Broad Ripple, big cans of Fosters (for when you ran out of what you brought with you), and a road course where you could see more than 1 or 2 corners. Waking up (hungover as hell) in the camping area to the sounds of the V10s echoing through…

When you said Pontiac V8 I was picturing a 455 or a 400.  An LS is a V8 from a Pontiac, not a Pontiac V8.

I know the 90's nostalgia is in full effect so the kids may think this is cool again, but I assure you the only thing “xTreme” about this S10 would be the disappointment of ownership.  Apparently it did feature some decent upgrades, so perhaps it was just the name I found so revolting back when this was out on the…

Has to be the Prowler based on bonkers looks alone.

Tesla Model Y.

The real answer, Nissan IDX, was already taken.  However it’s a shame that the Volkswagen BlueSport never saw the light of day - don’t know if it would have lived up to the hype of a modern 914 / true budget Porsche, but would have been cool to have another affordable-ish roadster option:

You guys already featured it here: https://jalopnik.com/everything-about-this-turbo-manual-dodge-caravan-is-per-1847965805

There should be at least a footnote to read “Indy Split” by John Oreovicz if you’re remotely interested in what went down.

Geo Tracker - a Jeep Wrangler that has been optimized for its true use case:

I’d put the Chevy Vega as a strong #2 in there.

This bad boy here - the “new” GTO. This is one car that plunged deep into the “just another used car” zone before being a sudden collector’s item (apparently like anything with a V8 and manual transmission). It was too bland / dated for everyone’s taste when it came out, and too expensive. Although never intended to…

Replace stuff in pairs (at least) - if the bearing on the left side is shot, the one on the right is on its way.  Best to get it before you are stranded for a second time.

Save your knuckles - remember to pull, don’t push, a wrench
