Picture of the outline of a Miata, then “is always the answer.” Jalopnik on the back, or tucked at the bottom.

Waiting for my (First Drive) graphic onesie.

By some fluke of evil coincidence, my wife and my mom both were given Compass rental cars in the last moth and they both hated them. And this coming from my soft spoken mother and my wife who has always had at least one kind word to say about every car we’ve ever rented. So, I think you’d have a surprising show of…

I think I know the look they were going for with the new Rattata.

Why does Bumblebee have a big, dumb smile, complete with dimples?

What sort of mileage were you seeing in your various driving?

Finding a replacement for my TDI Golf... sigh. I never thought I’d see the day I wasn’t excited about being back in the car market, but I can not find the ‘perfect fit’ replacement.

How long after this gets delivered does someone try to turn it into a poor man’s Slingshot? Strip the body, fatter back tire, motorcycle engine, updated front suspension...

Pokemon: Intergalactic Horror Edition.

In a vehicle like this, the torque is actually way more useful. As a TDIneedanewcar owner, I can tell you that that amount of twist will be way more useful in everyday moments like highway merging, overtaking and irresponsible gringasms in corners.

Neutral: As a soon-to-be-displaced Golf TDI owner, I’m thinking of buying a Mazda 3. You guys need an Ultimate Buyer’s Guide for that model line. :)

Dear Niantic,

You know, Niantic needs to come to accept that this isn’t their first game. This is Pokemon. People have established connections with these creatures over the decades this property has existed. What do you do when you are starting a real Pokemon game? You go looking for your favorite Pokemon and make sure you can…

Knowing little about the Macan, I feel inclined to ask: Is the Macan really a ‘go anywhere, do anything’ sort of vehicle? Those are words for Range Rovers, and I would assume that the Macan was more of a soft-roader.

I’m with you, hand on heart I did a double take and thought they’d put up pics of a Mazda CX-somethingorother.

“The <Insert Famous Public Destination> Pokemon Go Riot of 20XX”, coming soon to news ticker near you.

I thank the PT Cruiser for reminding the automakers that small cars could have character. I always remember the PT being a dividing line, in my mind at least, for small car looks, where before that, small cars were boring, Corolla lookalikes. It also kicked off the retro movement that we are still seeing today.

It has the shape of a Morgan... Or maybe a movie car under development?

Neutral: Admittedly, I haven’t looked lately, but I recall that when my buddy bought a Silverado a year or two back, I looked into Chevy’s engine lineup and found them to be surprisingly behind the curve compared to Ford’s range in both power and efficiency numbers. If that’s still the case, that would seem to be a…
