It definitely doesn’t perform any better than the Chevy counterpart. The parts are quite literally identical.
Because this is Jalopnik ... one requirement here is hatred of American cars (in line with “because this is Gawker ... one requieremnt here is hatred of all things American”).
Typical Gawker hipsterism & critical theory.
(although to be fair, in this case when compared with the 2nd Gen TA, these were a bit of a…
I’m a big fan of his car show reviews, I laugh every damn time
No way dude, the Firebird actually looks good, the Camaro is the one beat with the ugly stick. If that’s the reason, Europeans are even more hopeless than I thought.
Ok, out of all the things that have been said on this website...this angers me the most. I love the WS6. I thought it always looked and performed better than it’s Chevy counterpart, and with the right mods, was an absolute beast.
Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!
It wasn’t like this even in the 1980s when I was a kid.
Here is another reason - we both have good jobs near a city that is getting expensive, the suburbs even more so. So our cost of living is much higher. On paper we make a good middle class wage, but healthcare premiums, mortgage and student loans take away most if not all comfort we have. Of course we have vacations,…

Exactly. My parents’ jobs ended at 5pm. Mine is 24/7 and it’s fucking advertising - we’re not curing cancer.
Can’t star this enough. Hourly folks are screwed by being at the beck and call of whatever hours their (often multiple) employers feel like throwing at them that week, while salaried folks are considered lazy if they leave before 60 hours- and that doesn’t even begin to cover the invisible effort people are expected…
Middle class wages haven't increased in decades. Seems to me that's an enormous part of the equation.
My parents had jobs. They went to work in the morning, they worked all day, they came home. They did stuff with us.
My husband and I have jobs. We wake up before our kid to check email, we knock out the high priority stuff, kid gets up, she’s ready for school, we drop her off, head to work, we work all day, come home,…
Today’s parents don’t park Junior in front of the tv. They hand him their iPhone or his iPad.
Yup, instead of the Great American Dream, we have the Great American Disappointment. The economy has changed so much from much of the 20th century, and the 1% has been masterful in sucking up ever more of the value being generated. So people drive themselves insane trying to keep up.
It’s because parenting culture is fucking INSANE nowadays. Children are expected to be the center of your world as a parent, but the average family doesn’t have time for that. Nowadays, kids have to be supervised all the time until they’re in high school. They have to be on the soccer team and take piano lessons in…
Americans are just lazy
wow what if god bans u
