If you want a GM EV that isn’t a pickup truck, get the Lyriq. The incentives are still insane, especially if you lease.

I got into a Cadillac Lyriq lease in May, MSRP was a hair over $65k. I ended up with a Sport 1 AWD that was a loaner, so they knocked off $5k from the MSRP. Before even mentioning whether I was leasing or buying we worked out incenvtives, all applied at point of sale, as follows. $2k Customer Cash, $3k Conquest…

My grandparents drove Lincoln Continenetals for as long as I can remember. They had a few 70s era cars in the early 90s, then moved up to Mark VII LSCs in the late 90s, then replaced them in the early 2000s. I have fond memories of the leather handle in the back seat, the air freshener in the ash trays, and the floaty…

Stellantis just needs to consolidate and maintain an identity for each brand. Kill off DS, Opel, and Vauxhall. Then start looking at the way forward, a handful of scalable EV and PHEV platforms that can be used across all brands. A small EV hatch would work great for Fiat, Abarth, and Dodge (bring back the Colt!), and…

Step 1: Be Jack Doherty

Kick did.

Hey, that’s me! 

USAA is a shell of its former self. NJM is great but it’s pretty expensive.

The Cadillac Lyriq. It’s literally a wagon, it just needs to be a few inches lower.

I’m getting a kick out of the comments here talking about the stereotype of Cybertruck owners. The funny thing is, it isn’t really true. I live in Central NJ and have seen quite a diverse set of owners. There are a few MAGA types, ironically, but most of the people I’ve spoken to are actually just cool people that…

So like 90% of truck buyers?

If you own a Tesla and are leaving your kid/family member/pet in the car when you get out, just set the HVAC to “Keep” or “Dog Mode”. Even if it’s for a moment, just in case something like this happens. 

So buy a used one.

Typical Jalopnik garbage. I just read my Lyriq manual and it says in less certain terms not to tow the vehicle with the drive tires on the ground. Tesla is just a bit more blunt as to why you should not do so. 

Being predictable is the safest way to drive. Shit drivers are unpredictable drivers. Someone that stops at a stop sign is driving predictably. Someone that rolls through it is not. 

It should. Automated vehicles should be following the rules of the road, not the bad habits drivers form throughout their lives as shit drivers.

FWD kills it for me. 

You mentioned the XSR 900, but failed to mention the XSR 700. 74 horsepower and 50 lb/ft of torque, at the crank, is very close to the UJM of old. It weighs 410 lbs wet, has a bench seat and is sporty thanks to it sharing the MT-07/R7 platform. Slap an Akra exhaust, intake, velocity stacks on and tune it and you’ll be…

One look at the reviews could have helped them avoid this. Obviously this dealership is garbage, like any used car lot, but the family should have done their due dilligence. 

It’s possible to hire people in a diverse, equitable, and inclusive manner without having an explicit DEI policy. Ideally there should be no need for such a policy, people should be hired for their experience and their merits, not to meet quotas. What we really need to push for is legislation that requires employers…
