You guys really should fact check this stuff. Mercedes Benz’s of about 15 years ago used to be over engineered. These days they are rolling around with a modular engine made when they owned Chrysler that was based on some Pentastar plans. In comparison to the cars that earned Mercedes their reputation the new vehicles…

The facts charts are so out of wack. It’s like the E class 0-60 in 2.3 seconds and gets 200MPG and only cost $12,000. Yes the little italics indicate which version but they don’t belong together in the same group. Each class series should have it’s own group so people can judge if they are getting a decent car at 52K…

This. Lower A-pillar rust usually means the repair is a potential clusterfuck as the windscreen might need to come out.

This looks bad. Still, for overall package NP

Top of the line in utility sports, Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!

Yeah, that’s my ruling also. Technically correct, but the headline is really fine.

Just to back you up a little bit, in your own article of the most expensive crashes the only more expensive single-car crash was the Ferrari 250 TR, the repairs of which probably cost less than the $4M write-off this Agera has become

Those ultra-rare classics don’t actually cost that much to repair though, and they do get repaired. It’s just some steel and aluminum and a few guys with the skill set. This thing, with bonded CF monocoque is probably just a write-off.

Well, the two vehicles that were worth more than this and involved in a single vehicle incident were both on a track in an HPDE or a race of some sort. So, while you may be technically correct, and while that may be the best kind of correct, I think I’m going to have to give Justin the benefit of the doubt and assume…

Lada Niva

um, but...not a wagon. Its a new niche that’s being carved out by various manufactures right now I would call the plump hatch. The Macan is another example

Let's count up what's wrong here..
-oversized Lexus engine in place of a more competent I4 or even I6...
-Automatic transmission. A 4-speed auto at that. Not particularly impressive in the SC400 donor car either.
- Missing those sweet sail panels
- Interior is an absolute cluster fuck. Missing speakers. Generic blue…

Is that really as fast as the FR-S will go? 0-60 in 7 seconds? That's pitiful. Then again it makes sense. The car it most looks like- the Celica- was always a sport-ish looking car that was also painfully slow. I owned one and when I traded it in on a bare-bones 4-banger small tacoma pickup I swear the Tacoma would…

Afterburners had been in use for a whole. If you mean afterburning turboFANS, then yes. But not afterburners, period.

I have had a lot of experience in dealerships. This has so much to do with the buying experience at American Dealers. I don't want to offend anyone but American car dealerships are fucking trashy, as are the sales people, as are the service departments. I am sure this does not go for ALL of them but most. These…

The problem is they are going after the wrong market in terms of competition. Cadillac is NOT equivalent to BMW they never were, they are kind of Mercedes but not any Mercedes since 1985. Cadillac is a mix between Rolls Royce and Lexus. YET they try to make their current cars 3 and 5 series fighters and it shows they…

I'm gonna put on my flamesuit, but here it goes:

So, Jalopnik is just a gateway to premium content now?

Good article. You said it all.

As with many things in life...just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
