Totally agree. This was a CP when new, and it’s a CP here. If it was priced at $120k to begin with and the depreciation knocked this one down to like $70k it might be a NP. But even then there’s better options than this.

You say this like it’s a good thing being stuck somewhere that you don’t want to be for 30 minutes instead of 5.

This. When driving with kids you want to get where you’re going as quickly as possible, and the longer they’re out of the car the less happy they’ll be when they get back in. Dad pumps gas while mom takes the kids in for bathroom and snacks, and hopefully they make it back out by the time the gas tank is full (they…

Maybe he’s afraid of leaving Kevin home alone and having to drive after a flight cancellation? But if the movies have taught me anything, there’s sure to be a polka band looking to make the same trip OP can hitch a ride with.

I’ll be ready to buy one for a family vehicle when it can travel 500 miles in 0 degree weather without recharging, or can be recharged in 5 minutes, plus has a TCO lower than an equivalent gas car.

Who said anything about Tesla and their imaginary-for-now Roadster?

The front reminds me of a Ford Escape. 

That Aston SUV is ugly.  That is all.

How dare you suggest that every American family doesn’t need a 7 seat suv for the Mrs and short bed crew cab pick up for the Mr. 

I really don’t get the “how dare you drive a $80k truck while a bunch of people are unemployed” feeling. I was unemployed and financially struggling after graduating during the post-2008 recession. It was frustrating and felt deeply unfair at times, but I never once looked at the guy driving a 911 or AMG and think,…

False. Cars are influenced by politics (mainly through regulations), and cars impact the world around us. Anything further tbh is teetering into a totalitarian view of the world (politics = everything, and everything = politics), which assumes politics are a comprehensive moral code and the solution of all of life’s /…

took this one from The Drive’s review of the TRX, ironically enough written by a Bradley as well. this is at the bottom of the article and is an example of how you comment on social issues without being a twat about it. 

Does the world need a 700 horsepower Baja truck? No. But sometimes we as people need to devote…

There’s a guy who lives close to me that DD’s his 911 Turbo in the winter. I was at a light next to him and asked why. His answer was simple, “I bought this car to enjoy, and I’m going to make fucking sure I enjoy it!” I gave him the thumbs up and he took off like a rally car, it was pretty awesome.

According to who? You?

YES!  Many people missed the positive points because you bitched about unemployment and miles per gallon.  Funny how that happen, huh?

Only if you choose to make them so.

Politics directly affect vehicles all the time. The Hummer was killed because of politics and economy. CARB is all politics. This whole self driving car venture is politics. You can’t just cut politics out completely, an unbiased view sure.

Pretty sweet job... I trudged into my job and sat at a computer for eight hours every day this week. It has been overcast and 35 degrees every day this week here in the almighty midwest. Opening Jalopnik this morning I was excited to escape into a few minutes of TRX jumping and hooning stories. I would have liked more…

This whole review sounded like a tree hugger going to work at a lumber mill...Why did you even go?

It’s hard to imagine this is an unbiased and accurate review, unfortunately. When you start off flaming on this truck and trucks in general, etc, the rest of it kind of gets tainted. I bet it’s really good on the road, isn’t it? Minus the gas mileage...
