Well, thank God Jay isn’t in the Jalopnik comments section. Everyone would bash him for his love of manual transmission vehicles and Denim. He isn’t biased, as a lot of the modern supercars he owns are DCT. But he knows where it is “makes sense” and where it doesn’t. A proper petrolhead with ACTUAL money, he puts it…

None of the kids I know want this. These are all old man fantasies.

I apologize. I’ll buy my electric car and whisper so as not to disturb your delicate senses. My neighbor has a Harley and I’ve managed to survive hearing it for a total of about 10 minutes per year.

When will it end, seriously?

This car wasn’t designed for old white men though, that’s the stereotype, But this thing will be a drivers car through and through. Like how a Miata is a driver’s car, but also a hair dressers. The $60,000 base model is going to be an absolute weapon. That cabin is designed to suit the driver. A passenger doesn’t need…

I used to park my car on the street in NYC. I can assure you that total strangers will fuck with your shit without you having done a thing.

Is there any demographic that aren’t called assholes in the Jalopnik comment section? Tesla owners, Camry owners, BMW owners, Audi owners, Prius owners, CR-V owners,   bro-truck owners.... etc....

Still the action of a coward...if you have a problem with my driving, speak to me in person; I may not even know I did anything wrong! Damaging what is likely to be one of the most expensive pieces of property a person owns is fucking cowardly...this bitch should have known better.

Well you dont sound like a douche.

There are approximately 4,071,000 miles (6,552,000 km) of roads in the United States. That’s a hell of a blanket statement my man.

Have you ever stepped foot on a factory floor? Do you think these works only work 40 hours a week to make 90k? No, they are working a lot of hours to make 90k. BTW, you need to be there a decent amount of years before you can make that much, even with the overtime. So next time, don’t open your mouth about something…

Christ Almighty the least they could have done was offer it in Navy Blue.

‘Free’ was actually FREE. No need for quotes. Yes, these people were on the hook for taxes, but every single person was still better off for it. This article is written in a tone that makes it seem that some people were put in a worse situation due to this promotion. Yeah, some people couldn’t afford the taxes, but…

The new Defender is what all the jeep people feared the new jeep would wind up like.

Man, you guys are harsh. Cadillac gets hammered for “calling in” the XT6, but Land Rover gives you a modern Freelander dressed up as the “New Defender” with Discovery and 15 year old Range Rover bits and it’s “not a bad thing”.

Totally right that Tesla will win the PR war.

Lexus didnt know how things work at the Ring. They thought they had to make their Nurburgring package available to the public instead of just cheating like everyone else...

As far as the Nico thing goes, he gets an all-expense-paid trip to the ‘Ring, gets to drive a nifty electric car around it, and gets lots and lots of media coverage (including this article) which might generate moneymaking opportunities or just stroke his ego.

I don't know if it is "cutting corners" to not design a car to do a bunch of dumb shit nobody ever actually does.

the best era? no. not yet.
