Yesterday, the head of the MTA advised against traveling on the city’s subways if it could be avoided.

We still do driving embargoes, but that’s based on different reasoning. With informational embargoes, everything is timed to maximize the marketing effort, which is pretty contrary to what we do. When it comes to a press drive, the purpose of the embargo is to give everyone a chance to try the vehicle. With a…

Jalopnik is one of the very few outlets that does not agree to informational embargoes. That means that other outlets sign extensive non-disclosure agreements, agreeing to sit on information for days, weeks, sometimes months in advance, and not say a peep about it until a manufacturer’s marketing team says they can.…

I was born and raised in Toronto (Markham and Scarborough areas). Also lived the Peel and Halton regions. A lot of the “rougher” areas in Toronto are definitely a shitshow in general (i.e. York region), but on a whole, the cross-walks demand respect and it isn’t limited to folks with “expensive cars.” I now reside in…

We’ve known this fact since 1991 at least

Thats not how this works. Thats not how any of this works.

Wait. So your sis and her ex-lineman boo that are now realtors bought a new Escalade every year for a decade, sis curbs the rim (probably) and the DEALER, not GM, decides they’re not going to pay for it. And so sis and HGH decided they were going to really stick it to the DEALER by switching MANUFACTURERS?

Rich people are different than you and i. 

It’s a shame that GM fucked up a simple customer service issue that my sister and BIL had with a local dealer-they always document the condition of the trucks in the service lane before dropping them for work, and someone at the Cadillac place curbed a wheel which they refused to pay for. The same dealer where they…

Hate to break the news to you, but everyone’s stupidity affects everyone else.

Or...hear me out...we could stop trying to build an industry around selling people an addictive and dangerous narcotic? Just throwing it out there...

Cadillac needs to take a long, hard look at Lincoln and get back to the opulence of their distant past.  Leave the Nurburgring times to the Germans, spend your money on design and interior.

Love the front and 3/4 angles, the back is okay, but that profile is all kinds of yeesh.  Stood next to one at the DC Auto Show for a good while trying to figure out why it looks sooooo damn butt-heavy from the side for a mid-engined car when something like a Cayman looks sleek.

Toyota’s response: something, something, swallow.

Oof. Bummer. They should’ve just used the one out of that new Hot Yaris.

It’s still all BMW including the 4 cylinder.

#2: the transmission would probably destroy itself with that torque (almost double what the FA20 peaked at)

Two questions:

WHY ARE THEY NOT PAIRING A MANUAL TRANSMISSION WITH THIS

You know what’s really strange? My wife is an engineer, and she SWEARS she can get through an identical problem faster just because it’s written on a blackboard with chalk, rather than a whiteboard with colored pens. She thinks her brain was “trained” all those years ago when they still taught on chalkboards. I wonder…
