I disagree on the grill. In a world where every luxury SUV requires a comically large grill (hello, X7) I like that this is more restrained. It also does a good job evoking Grand Wagoneer vibes. The light bar that cuts below the center hump in the grill made me instantly recognize it as a successor to the Grand…

It makes a wonderful rental car. Lots of luxury features, comfortable, easy to drive, good power, acceptable fuel economy and cavernous trunk. For the price of a middling Escape (out the door) , you get a very smooth and nice looking sedan with a V6 and lots of luxury gear. Seeing as models with leather and panoramic…

Keep the BRZ and buy a set of blizzaks for $800. It’ll be a better winter commuter than any AWD car on all season tires.

American beers have a cool image in China. Kinda like how rather mundane and commonplace Mexican and European beers (Tecate, Modelo, Corona, Heineken, Guinness) are consider cooler than Budweiser in the US. But in their homelands they’re just a fixture, like Budweiser is here.

I think more people will be convinced that IFS is superior for their needs when they drive each on the highway. The new Wrangler is still a mess to drive on the street and I hope the Bronco is at least somewhat better to drive on road, which is where 99% of these spend 99% of their time.

Yes, this site is a technical nightmare. Navigating it on mobile is downright infuriating. I’ve actually given up commenting on mobile because its just so damn glitchy.

I think you can/could get 21" wheels on the E63S AMG Wagon. Even midsized sedans are starting to come with 20"+ wheels from the factory. It’s ridiculous, but its the design trend of today.

Definitely way over budget, and I have a feeling in a year or two, these are going to be as common as a Camry (they’re already getting that way in Chicago, and they’ve only been on sale a year). But yes, they are futuristic on the inside and to drive.

2016 Cadillac ELR. They already look like a spaceship on the inside and out. Plus they’re so rare, you’ll rarely see another. They are also a plug-in hybrid that gets great gas mileage and uses commonplace Chevy Volt parts, if it needs repaired. While it looks futuristic, the running gear is pretty common and well…

I teased him relentlessly for that, when my $7,000 used Golf had Bluetooth audio at the same time. But that Panamera interior has held up better over ten years than I ever could have expected.

Everything is delayed because of Covid, except - ironically - evictions. If people can’t understand why, then I don’t feel sorry for them. I know it sucks, but 165,000 Americans are dead, tens of millions are unemployed and most companies are hanging on by a thread. Honestly at this point in time, I’m excited when…

That picture gave me a tracheotomy

Carrying around a massive battery from the well-known and totally reputable GOOLOO brand in my car? Sounds like a massive fire hazard. Half this no name Chinese crap on Amazon is completely untested and unregulated. I had a GOOLOO phone charger short circuit and ruin my phones charging port the first time I used it.…

Maybe they just started recently (I haven’t seen one in Chicago yet), but the comment still applies. Its a vehicle that has *barely* just hit the market, so I’m not sure how the Lyriqs comparable specs are “a couple of years” behind the Model Y.

Well the Mode Y (which is this competitor) isn’t even on sale yet; so I don’t know where the “several years ago” comes from.

I think it looks excellent and the specs are right on the money for this segment. Their luxury competitors don’t have the range, automatio, technology or style to compete with Teslas. This Cadillac actually does.

If the Bronco gets half the Wrangler sales, I’ll be surprised. If it can maintain that after the initial hype of the first few years, I’ll be even more shocked. I’m expecting the Bronco to pull 25% to 35% of Wrangler sales, mostly from Wrangler buyers.

That’s my biggest critique of Jalopniks Blazer/Trailblazer take: GM produced what the market asked for. Edgy looking CUVs with good MPG is what people want and what GM needs to sell to survive.

50 feet is excessive, but in rural Indiana they have at minimum 10 foot easement. It's usually even larger because there are typically draining ditches or access lanes next to the field. 

Just follow stop signs and you won’t have a problem. Corn usually has a 10+ foot easement from the road (usually even larger, if there is a draining ditch). If you actually stop at the stop signs, you can see cars coming in opposing directions. The problem is people assume nobody else is coming down that gravel road…
