All the LSs are like this, just the LS400 is noteworthy for being the first one and doing so many things right. It was Lexus’s first product, had brand-new everything (platform, motor, assembly line, literally everything), and it managed to compete so well in the difficult-to-enter luxury sedan space that it actually…

This car is an interesting industrial case study in how much you can use your customers as beta testers. Between the pedal slipping, the wheel covers destroying tires (indicating less than a couple hundred miles of road testing before sale), bad build quality, etc, this has to be the single most unprepared automobile…

Apparently the Baja and Santa Cruz were both ahead of their time with the roughly 2:1 cab:bed ratio

First gear: A YoY jump from 7.2% to 8% EV share of new car sales is pretty dismal considering how much that market has changed in the past year (in favor of EV ownership). Many automakers are selling their EVs at a loss currently, and there’s no way this is sustainable for them to keep going without a dramatic uptick…

I was ready to hit ND until seeing the condition, and seeing that it really is completely stock. 3000GT VR4s fetch more than this all day in the same condition. I know the Stealth is the less desirable of the two by a small margin, but this still seems like a reasonable deal on a nice example.

It’d have to be a small SUV, Americans like the high driving position, cargo capacity, and styling (you personally may not, but Americans as a whole very obviously do). I thought the Bronco sport had a good chance of becoming that, since it fits the bill and is styled in a way people resonate with.

Ford v Ferrari is the closest we’ve seen to this movie, and I can’t really picture this doing as well as that movie did. The marketing for this has been atrocious - it didn’t have a name for the longest time, and picking “F1" is absolutely idiotic because you can’t google it easily and it doesn’t fit conversations…

It is debatable if any 928 (especially a pre-1990 one) can ever be considered sorted. These cars were nightmarishly complex, even moreso by in-period standards, and they are jaw-droppingly expensive and difficult to keep in good shape. A number of friends of mine in PCA have owned them, generally not for very long,…

That is surprising to hear - I am 6' and fit in it fine even with a helmet on. Was the seat set up super high or something, or are you NBA player-sized?

Good lord, I can’t imagine having to drive a crew cab Ram in Boston. I get annoyed enough as it is parking my GX, and that’s fairly small in footprint relative to pickups and other SUVs.

This has to do with the article itself and the words contained within it. What are you referring to?

Agreed 100% with your take on people arguing in bad faith that EVs are too expensive and regular people can’t afford them. There have been viable EVs priced below the average car for quite a while now, but that doesn’t matter anyways because working-class “normal” Americans are the most financially illiterate people…

This is exactly what everyone assumed would happen with delivery drones, so much so that Parks and Rec made a joke about it 7 years ago when Ron Swanson shoots one down in his yard.

Small-town gas stations are always risky because my road trips usually involve me towing my race car to a track somewhere. I never know if I will be able to turn around with a trailer, and I never know if they’ll have 91 which my tow vehicle uses. Super annoying.

RSX-S. I’ve owned cars that were faster, cars that were nicer, cars that were more practical, but none that did everything as well as that car did. It was fun to drive, and the high redline made it fun even under the speed limit on normal roads. You could fit a ton of stuff in the hatch - including a bike with both…

Totally agreed, you’re gonna have to find someone who has nostalgia for one of these and wants the nicest one they can find. Anyone else would just buy a newer one for the same money, or buy a less pristine one for considerably less money.

I would be really surprised if any owner of a Koenigsegg drove their car at all, much less took one to a track. I assume that 99% of these end up purchased by oil money and stuck in warehouses in the middle east, just like all the bugattis.

Deliberately misleading clickbait titles? On Jalopnik?! You don’t say

Every car made in the last 10 years has a screen there, and the BMW screen as shown here is actually really not bad. It is pretty slim and unobtrusive relative to most other cars, and it’s not blocking any kind of line of sight through the window - you can clearly see the top of it sits below the top of the steering…

If the 4cyl supra was priced closer to the 86 it would have made a ton of sense, though I know they realistically never would have been able to do that. The B48 is a lovely motor that stands on its own merits, and an inexpensive RWD turbo coupe priced in the 30s would have been compelling (sort of like the next step…
