Star Trek II is sci-fi cinematic perfection.

I’m detecting a slight hint of hostility in this article.

Note 1: This person is not arguing that the Captiva or any of your other cars aren’t total shitpiles. That point has been conceded.

I think we’ve stumbled on a new theory here. The Meh-ness of a car is inversely related to the Meh-ness of the fans of said car.

The email was a bit much but the Captiva is a good car. I do find a lot of mistakes made by your writers. It sometimes looks like the writers don’t look at facts. You do have a right to your opinion. What we like and don’t like about vehicles is subjective. My problem with this Auto site is the constant political…

Um, they’re saying they didn’t complain because Jason’s got the right to say what he wants, but this time Jason challenged the letter writer.

“Every car ever made having at least one rabid fan” is not in the least surprising when you consider the yin to this yang is that every car will, effectively, also have a detractor, i.e., there is no perfect car. The internet doesn’t help matters whatsoever as most anyone can critique ANYTHING about a car; “I don’t…

That email didn’t seem unhinged or rage filled. You misrepresented his words in your article as well. He said the facts were mundane and then literally said it was neither negative or positive. Yet you claim he used mundane as a positive and was referring to the car itself.

In his defense I 100% agree with the idea that EVERY car has at least one thing its good at. It may be that its good at being cheap, it may be that its very practical, it may be that you can’t be bothered to wonder what the drivers “business” is. So in that sense, sure...go Captiva! In isolation its actually a miracle…

My mom died. My best friend. Nothing will be the same again. I may get past it, but will never get over it.

This seems a little personal for you Donny. You may be right about the gauge cluster being shit but no one should have to deal with German engineering for that kinda money either. I’d rather look at a bland guage than have plastic timing chain guides on my expensive high performance motor.

Fuck off

Your “fuck him” attitude, used to dismiss the national humiliation of a man (you yourself are taking part in!) who may well have done nothing wrong, and your commendable ability to push aside any of the considerations that arguably justify his decisions is tragic to me even if it’s not something you’d actually be…

This is a particularly moldy take. GM interiors have been much better than the 1988 Celebrity you’re comparing it to in your head.

There’s a difference between music not to your taste and clearly legible lyrics about drugging women and fucking them so hard they become your willing slave.

Right here is the problem. The press fleets loved it. Great. That doesn’t sell cars. Great performance. Great handling. That’s..uhh, great. But performance is not the core of a luxury division, it’s the icing on the cake. And luxury is not something the ATS or Cadillac does well, save for, perhaps, the ubiquitous…

So wanting to get a cup of coffee without inappropriate music blasting is now being a pussy. Interesting. Would you think the same way if it was heavy metal music blasting? I highly doubt it.

Yeah, I’m “mad as hell” over this... Imagine the nerve of someone wanting to get a coffee without hearing F bombs and N bombs dropped on the radio. If they were blasting offensive heavy metal and this guy asked them to turn it off you would have no problem with it, and you know it.

1. Risk. GAP insurance is cheap and always being underwater greatly reduces the cost of losing a new car. Say you buy a $40k car and total it in a year and you get $30k payout from insurance. If you paid cash, you lost $10k, but if you financed, then you only lost your payments — GAP covers the rest. The longer the…

Mid-late 2000's, I was renting cars weekly for long distance driving. I am not gonna lie...I loved driving 300's and Chargers on long highway trips, and for a few years I drove thousands of miles in those products. They were fast and comfortable as shit. I didn’t like the interiors compared to the 2007 Maxima I owned…
