Hi Bob! I’m excited for your seat at the EIC chair; there’s been a lot of old guard and talent leaving Jalopnik since we tacked a new calendar to the wall and I’m not overly optimistic about the site’s future. I don’t have much to add and it seems like you have your finger on the pulse of the commentariat as it is…

Unf, as someone who works at a car dealer and has held a lot of different fobs, the Stinger fob is probably my absolute favorite. It feels so good to just hold and feel the contours of, and you get that satisfying feeling when you lock it of the dramatic, cinematic “hit the switch for the bomb while walking away from…

Got me all nostaligic for my first car, a 2001 SW2 in forest green. With this being the “wrong color” and that high mileage, I’m on the fence, but falling on the side of NP in today’s market for a reliable, nigh-unkillable wagon. (Then throw in my Saturn fanboyism and it’s an *easy* NP.)

And yet I get the feeling this guy wouldn’t hire a gay person, despite his professed belief in personal life not affecting professional life.

Why was THIS one reposted? Are you THAT desperate for content so as to post a news item 0 not an evergreen blog post, but a NEWS ITEM - from two years ago?

Kind of disappointed I never got to fly in one.

Yeah, I think the writer’s just too young to have proper perspective on what compact car interiors just... just looked like in that era.

Well that’s annoying. It’s not multiplayer, so just... let stuff exist. I get so frustrated that this happens with single-player experiences nowadays.

I mean, if it’s money for cartoons, show me where you do commissions, we can work something out :P

Manual handbrake. If you’re making an inadvisably fast turn in the snow and are starting to oversteer, a bit of feathering gets your ass out and around the corner easily.

She’s smart and knows what she’s doing. She’s shown to be capable of gaming our tax system to increase her wealth and even her “missteps” on Twitch have provided nothing but publicity.

Now, this is very important... when you say “bear”...

I remember as Saturn S-series cars aged, some were saying, “Every time I fill up my gas tank I drop another quart in.” My SW2 burnt oil a bit, not that bad though. (My Ion just had a slow leak/seep that stained the driveway but also coated the undercarriage and kept rust away. Uh, thanks?)

Terrible article to resurrect when the answer to the leading question deals with used car prices. This ain’t evergreen, the way the car market is now.

“Anything longer than the parking spaces where you might regularly visit is too big.”

I looked into it a bit more, apparently it went the other way around - the Flextreme was an Opel concept first, then lazily rebadged to a Saturn concept afterward for a North American show.

So I double checked it - apparently the Opel Flextreme was a concept that ran on something similar to the Volt but with diesel instead of gas. The Saturn one was a lazy rebadge of it for a North American show :P

Yeah, the Ion Red Line, 203hp supercharged engine and various other performance upgrades.

That concept wasn’t related to the Ion at all. Absolute image search fail.

Uh, that’s not an Ion. That’s... a Flextreme? Maybe? Saturn had some pretty cool concept cars.
