There’s two reasons I don’t have an EV at this point. 1) Because I currently live in a condo and cannot charge at home. I’m not using public fast chargers as the primary method of charging a vehicle, because it shortens battery life and it takes too damn long. And 2) because nobody can seem to make an EV that I…

meanwhile, I just wish I could get a new MX-5 without all the iActivsense bullshit.

Also, kind of a shit color choice, IMO. Just another shitty wet-bar-of-clay gray with a little blue tint to it. Come on, Mazda, I know you know how to make gorgeous colorways. Take what makes your red crystal metallic one of the best…

I’d be happy if they produced this, but I think it would look even better as a shooting brake. 

I still can’t get over the aesthetics of the front clip on the thing. I love what they did with Vision 74, that’s a gorgeous car. But how they modified it to fit on yet-another-crossover... it just looks terrible to me. I can’t buy this, no matter how much they do to try to make it a driver’s car, simply because I…

Yeah, but I still consider the Cybertruck to be more of a fever dream that somehow made it into reality. Sticking it on the Y shows me that they are fully committing to it. Just another dumb fad that increases BOM, price, and lowers MTBF. But, more importantly, I think it just looks stupid. Why would I want a car with…

Great, Tesla’s fully committing to jumping on the stupid LED Unibrow bandwagon.

Great, now Tesla is hopping on the stupid LED Unibrow bandwagon too. 

That’s almost enough for me to admit there’s one instance where leasing makes sense. Almost. I’ll still never do it. 

Out of that entire list, the only vehicle I might even consider buying is the Pacifica, simply because it doesn’t look like angry ass and is everything people actually want when they buy yet another crossover instead. Pretty much everything else is ruled out by a horrendous body styling, the cookie cutter CUV/SUV form…

I’m still unjustifiably pissed that it looks like a cab-over, but isn’t. It’s just a regular van interior layout with an enormous (but also useless) dash and greenhouse.

One of those rare Jalopnik listicals with at least a few vehicles I would actually buy.

(Hey, at least it has a steering wheel and not a yoke)

I’ve never had good luck with voice controls, so I just don’t use them. 

Shit, I’m a Millennial and it still looks like a nightmare

Further evidence that the only truly good part of a Tesla is the drivetrain and batteries. If you stripped all the ADAS and infotainment bullshit out of them, I might even consider buying one. 

The 2024 looked better. Not saying much since I haven’t seen a good looking full size truck in years, but still. 

The answer is “$totalled.00"

If I can’t see out the back window, that’s a nope. 

Looks better than a Cybertruck, but that’s a very low bar. Curious to see more though. 

2016 Honda CB500X, no spying. Not even Bluetooth. Even when I had my 2020 Tacoma, I killed the spying uplink in my driveway the day that I bought it. I won’t buy a vehicle that has this ability unless I already know how to kill it.
