See now this is interesting. On the one hand, I get it. This is an uber-luxury vehicle, and “luxury means effortlessness,” as they say. Nothing is more effortless than just getting in the car and driving. And with no ICE engine, there isn’t any need for a “startup” of sorts. So the seamless transition to driving is…

My BRZ has a pretty silly startup sequence thanks to my tune. The ECUTEK tune adds four switchable maps to the car, and I really didn’t need more than one, so I asked for a valet tune as the second one, and an anti-theft tune as the third. So if I’m parking my car for an extended period, or somewhere sketchy, I leave…

Every single public transit bus has more front overhang :)

Is there any hard data on your final point? I don’t see how shifting from reverse to drive while rolling backwards at 1 MPH is any worse than putting your foot down aggressively from a stop. In both instances, isn’t the torque converter doing the job of slipping the transmission until the vehicle speed catches up with…

I think we just need to go back to double-din units so that people can do what they want instead of being locked-in to whatever design the OEM came up with.

If anyone with a normal car wants bond-like stuff for theirs, I make switch panels that can be engraved however you like :)

I’ll be honest, the way the world and my ability to afford things is trending these days, I find myself less and less interested in most exotic cars as an adult. (Hell, I’m way more excited about the sub-10k mile 2011 Ranger im buying this week than I ever thought I’d be.) However Koenigsegg is one of the few…

The next gas-powered Audi A7 sedan, which is set to debut soon, is being rebranded to the A6. It’ll occupy the same name in the lineup at the A6 E-Tron, a liftback that is more closely aligned with the A7 Sportbacks of years gone by.

So you’re saying all of those giant trucks with big, vertical front ends here in the states are actually SUPER safe for pedestrian impact? Or at least much safer than all the cars with low, sloped front ends? Well shit, I had no idea.

To be fair, those Holleys are universal units that they can sell by the buttload to help recoup development costs...

To each their own. I think Rivian's design language is fantastic.

I was going to try giving a rational rebuttal to your comment, but that second sentence alone is so fucking stupid that you’re either a troll or an idiot, and either way a rational response likely wouldn’t result in a terribly productive discussion.

1. Typing out “Boeing 737 MAX” every 12 seconds in this article just makes it plainly obvious how badly you are trolling for clicks.

Please elaborate on this comment...

This was such an obvious case of sarcasm that it’s genuinely amazing y’all thought the author was serious. And that’s coming from someone who thinks 90% of articles on this site are beyond stupid.

“The plane went around and performed a belly landing. It was executed perfectly...”

Jalopnik really is garbage now. This is just... PDR. WTF even is this content?

I... don't have that issue? Then again I have enough self control to not blindly impulse-buy garbage off Amazon...

How odd!
