Generation preceding those was way up there, too. Maybe fewer creature comforts but arguably more elegant engineering.

Not sure if 4 mpg is a “plummet.”

*For shit that some people who shouldn’t be allowed to drive pulled, not Toyota themselves.

“GM reacted,” he said. “Once it became known to senior management, they took steps to address it not only with victims, but also with the government. They were much more forthcoming and essentially it created a template on how to cooperate.”

I’m on the same page as you - that was NEVER a real issue. Maybe, maybe unfortunate floor mat issues but everything else was never, ever proven. I’m shocked they paid so much for this

these are 100% the worst people in the jalopnik community. nobody gains anything from disparaging something that’s actually, and not ostensibly or arguably, great. it’s fucking stupid. tesla rules sorry.

460 horsepower from 6.2liters? *yawn* Mercedes did that in my car eight years ago

The guy who was beaten (Alexian Lien) admitted it on the witness stand during one of the criminal trials:

It won’t fly without some type of air propulsion.

For my parameters, the Colorado is too big.

Trucks have huge profit margins and the best selling vehicle ever in America is a truck. Yes, they require more raw materials, but the biggest reason they’re more expensive is that people have no problem paying lots of money for them.

I’m sorry, but your Ford is not an Aston Martin. This Scion is.

The only criticism (for lack of a better word) is you were set on an ST model and ended up with a non ST of a different model than original? I mean I get that you liked it but I think it was kind of stupid to not at least go test the ST versions elsewhere.

Van-A-White

mmmm, the subtlety is that they’re not buying just because they can, they’re not buying it just because it’s the most expensive thing, they’re buying also because of what it implies about their lifestyle and their imagined needs.

I am a biker. I hate loud pipes. My bike had an aftermarket Two Brothers slip on when I bought it, and I swapped it out for stock because I was tired of riding around feeling like I had an embarrassing social disease.

Sigh. Sigh. Best do some research, or make sure you're facts are in order before spatting off at the mouth. Any engine variable needs to be based off displacement. once this is taken into consideration the torque outputs are quite similar. It's all math. HP is just a function of how fast you can turn your torque…
