I think you’d be surprised by just how unimportant outright speed is to a lot of auto enthusiasts. A.) because “outright speed” often means $$$ most of us don’t have, and B.) speed is just one aspect of a car/driving. You’ve got your enthusiasts who love their squishy ‘70's American luxobarges, your enthusiasts who…

The grille is about 1/3's too big. Other than that, quite attractive. I’m hoping that, instead of the competitive-but-not-excellent 3.3TT and lovely-but-antiquated 5.0, it’ll have the new 3.5TT expected in the G80, and hopefully hybridization, as well. If Hyundai really wanted to get ahead of the game, they’ offer…

I’ve made concessions to my ignorance whenever possible; I’ve pointed out my hyperbolizing when I did it.

What’s that saying about us Americans and buying a year-round item for a twice-a-year event (to hyperbolize). How much more are you paying in maintenance, insurance, and other running costs to drive something whose full capability you (or maybe not you, but most people) use a few times a year? And, delving into the…

Hey, at least I realize that, and am self-aware enough to know that not everyone feels the way that I do, and therefore that I shouldn’t impose my beliefs on everyone else. I’m not under the mistaken belief that my thoughts are reflective of or the byproduct of some “natural law”.

In every interpretation of that ambiguous meaning--yes.

RIP to any lil ole ladies who witlessly walk out in front of this bulldozer.

All of Car and Driver’s content can be accessed (in delayed fashion) online, too. I had a subscription from ages 8 to about 18, but then, when I started having to pay for it myself, and The Internet became AThing, paired with getting a far more portable smartphone a few years ago....Not having a print subscription and…

Drives me crazy that catfish face is standard on 3/4 of the Sonata’s trim levels. I’d thought that it’d only be on trims with the turbo engine—to distinguish from the non-turbo—but it’s on what will most likely be the most popular trim, too, which has the 2.5. The grille on the base Sonata is soooo much better.

I have to say, as this piece hints at, this applies to other car drivers, too. Follow the rules of the road. Don’t slow down to 5mph going around a gentle turn. Don’t slow down and speed up without reason (cruise control exists for more than your convenience). Signal before you enter a turn, not as you’re turning.…

It’s just ridiculous to imagine that this whole AV thing is really a thing. Especially with the vast majority of people working in service industries, employment can be just as densified as residency and retail. There’s no reason not just to rebuild our towns and cities with more compact footprints and center them on…

That’s self-evidently not true. There are a lot of countries wherein most cities have regional rail, usable intercity rail, comprehensive bus services (to say nothing of better metro systems), as well as cities and towns planned around those systems—narrower streets, more expensive parking, more pedestrian centered…

Ok, but as an auto enthusiast (I presume, based on our being on Jalopnik) you probably aren’t representative of the average American. And most major cities are too expensive in their downtowns for the average American to live in them, and their transit options dissolve quickly enough outside the downtowns and/or are…

If you want to blame anything, blame autocentric urban planning. When you HAVE to drive everywhere, of course driving becomes a chore.

I didn’t say that it was going to be a wonderful great time. But why be resource inefficient and pissed off and uncomfortable when you could be just pissed off and uncomfortable?

Well, isn’t that nice for you to be able to consume more resources than other people just by chance of where you live.

I’ve been to Seoul and Beijing, and live in the Boston metro area, so yes, I have. In a sense, traffic is efficiency—resources being used at their maximum capacity. The thing is, a crowded train is actually efficient transport because both the vehicle and the tracks (assuming metro-like headways) are being used at…

I mean, I do love cars—I’ve been reading car magazines for 23 years, since I was 7 years old. But traffic is not an inexorably-existent phenomenon of life. If we built our dwellings such that everyone could walk, bike, or take a train to wherever they needed to go, it’d be a non-issue....Or we could just continue to…

....But it’s not a “designation”; they’re just...different size cars. A Camry is in a different class from an Avalon, but it’s not like someone just decided it was so; they’re different size vehicles. This isn’t a construction on my part, it just is so. And it’s not an N, it’s an “N Line”, mostly a trim package.

No, I didn’t say designated class, you did. The Fit is a bigger car than the i10. You’re free to say you’d rather have the bigger, lower-content car for the same price as the smaller, more feature-laden one; that doesn’t make them competitors, other than on price. But that’s a matter of preference, and isn’t really…
