Scientists have already discovered a water cloud in space that holds 140 trillion times as much as all the water on Earth. Aliens wouldn’t give a shit about our water, or any other resources for that matter, with the abundance of resources surely available to any species capable of FTL travel. 

Wait...so this time it isn’t Ferrari holding up a concorde agreement? 2020 is a strange year indeed.

Most likely, but it’s not 100% certain. Honda has sold a manual hybrid in the past. Remember the 1st gen Insight? There’s also an aftermarket company right now making rear electric assist motors for the current Type R, so if a small company can do it, Honda can if they put their minds to it. If they don't add any…

Alright I’ve never owned a Jeep with a folding windshield but I do have a side by side. Before I bought it I thought a windshield was one of the first things I’d want to add, but honestly now after over 800 miles of hard riding I really enjoy it without the windshield.

This car in no way looks good, and you should feel bad for encouraging them.

Who cares? Even if they were felons, is catching them worth endangering innocent lives? I’d say the answer is unequivocally no.

It’s disingenuous though because in order to road test cars properly you absolutely HAVE TO break laws. If an auto journalist road tests a car and never breaks the speed limit, never accelerates hard, and never drives hard enough around corners to suss out the handling, their opinion would be utterly useless. So guess…

The black one with the horizontal slatted grille looks amazing.

I think it can benefit negotiations if you’re upside down and the dealer is willing to negotiate higher on your trade to get the sale. I very recently flirted with the idea of trading my Golf R on a Veloster N PP at my local dealer. I’m almost $3,500 upside down though based on the trade in value of $27k (confirmed at…

I’m not sure a separate frame is a benefit to crash worthiness. It seems to me with a full unibody cell around the occupants, it would be easier to design load paths to distribute the impact.

The chassis on those was pretty great too. I remember at Car and Driver’s Lightning Lap, the SS Turbocharged proved to be faster around VIR than the contemporary Evo and STI. Still though, they are ugly, and I prefer NA engines, so I’d take the slower RSX-S instead, or even a Civic Si coupe which came factory with an…

Try using Auto Tempest. They collate results from CL, Ebay, Cars.com, Carvana, and a few others I can’t remember right now. I think the only big sites they miss out on are Auto Trader and Facebook marketplace. Still, really useful for finding cars without having to check a bunch of sites and apps.

That’s fine. My daily is a DSG Golf R so I see the appeal. But to say manuals are “horrible” is absolutely idiotic. And this poster just comes across as the kind of asshole that hates other people having fun in ways they don’t themselves. Believe it or not, and I know this is hard to understand in our current…

Absolutely. I’ll bet this person also laughs at others for listening to “outdated” music. Driving a manual car doesn’t cease being fun just because there’s a more efficient method, just like great music never stops being great music, even if it’s not on today’s charts.

I want a 2 door Gladiator, but I also fully recognize I’m in a small minority and the chances of Jeep producing them are pretty much zero.

Call me crazy but I think manuals are actually going to have somewhat of a comeback. No, the numbers sold will never become mainstream again, but just like vinyl, I think there will be enough of an enthusiast market to sustain their existence. This will also be fueled by manufacturers wanting to have one last go at it…

Why the fuck are you even on Jalopnik?

I’m definitely in the camp that thinks it’s just too much money. The base price isn’t horrible, but that’s lacking a ton of features that would be considered pretty essential to many buyers now. And for the ones that I would actually want, in other words; a Rubicon, a nicely-optioned one can approach or even exceed…

Part of the problem though is those aluminum and carbon panels aren’t just replacing equivalent steel parts. If there were steel parts from a base model to swap on, then a cheaper model could be made. But there isn’t even a 2 door Yaris at all outside of the GR, so the doors are unique, as is the roof which is 4"…

Absolutely zero chance of that happening. I think the track pack model costs the equivalent of like 42k in Japan, and it’s not going to somehow get cheaper coming over here. And with all kinds of carbon and aluminum body panels, totally bespoke AWD system and engine, 2 piece brake rotors, etc., there’s no way it could…
