These “OMG look how dangerous these cheap car” posts are becoming a bit formulaic and lacking in value. Would it be great if cars sold in the 3rd world were as safe as cars in the 1st world? Absolutely. But ultimately safety costs money.

Reminds me of the “dry weight” spec. Are they going to separate out assembly and QC checks next? Lol.

I will have to reserve judgment until we can confirm that this driving was or wasn’t part of a Cannonball run.

1st gen Z4s are seeing a big price hike, much to my dismay.

And those Daewoos probably became good at least in part through the partnership with GM! 

I promise you the folks in these emerging markets don’t care lol. The Chevy brand on its own has above average equity there and GM can elevate the quality and engineering of these brands without GM having to take on all the risk of launching new product in such low margin segments. This method is a win win for…

You have to consider the differences of those markets. They don’t have the purchasing power to buy GM’s best.

It’s not nostalgia, it’s spewing the most ridiculous hive mind takes for clicks and stars.

I admire your diplomacy. I’m gonna be more blunt- proclaiming this ugly “developing market” monstrosity over the totally decent and nice driving Blazer is peak brainless Jalopnik contrarianism. I’m sure this thing is fine for its intended market but the Blazer is one of the better 2 row mainstream crossovers.

I will have to reseve judgment until we can confirm or deny that this was part of a Cannonball run.

The most Piech era VWAG story ever.

I don’t know how people own cars in NYC proper (i.e. subway territory). I had a ~15 year old Accord in Brooklyn about 10 years ago, and was paying about $300-400/mo for insurance alone. Parking would have been another $100-150 a month, but I instead chose to throw hours of my life away each week searching for parking…

Enthusiasts need to stop selling ourselves short with our rigid and limited definitions of driving fun. To me a session on my sim rig or the local kart tracks is way more fun than tooling around in a base manual Civic or whatever on the street. There’s way more to a great car than the # of pedals it has and IMO if a…

Your frustration should be with all the consumers who didn’t buy them. It wasn’t long ago when you could get a manual in a 340i xDrive, S4, G37 etc. For the 2020MY literally the only manual sport sedan on sale in the US is the mediocre G70 2.0T, which is also dead for the 2022MY. The blame lies with US. Manufacturers…

EVs will gain market share but they will never take over.

Let’s turn pause the parroted star grabbing dealer hate and actually think about this for a second.

As a homeowner who paid $1MidgradeMidsizeSedan on HVAC installations, I can def say well managed car loans are no problem and the value of cash on hand is way higher than the interest on a car loan with decent credit. 

So in hard times you’d rather have no cash + full ownership of a depreciating asset............. than cash, a manageable payment and full use of said depreciating asset? This doesn’t make any sense.

Wait till the Dave Ramsey Lites show up. They’ll tell you it’s better to spend your last dollar on a clunker than to take out a low interest loan on a lightly used Corolla.

It’s just us that suck at buying enough cool cars to keep them relevant.
