I feel like most of the advantages that Jeep cites only matter to the 5% or so of buyers who are going to take their Jeep for some serious off-roading. The other 95% of buyers just want the feel of an open-top off-roader while driving to the beach, bike trail, office job, etc. I believe the biggest advantage to get…

I don’t want a locker on a snow covered highway; I do want an LSD.

How they managed to automate the top but leave the little thing that makes a huge difference to wind noise manual and hidden is beyond me.

“My daily commute is 600 miles each way through rocky terrain that requires a foot of ground clearance and also I need to haul two motorcycles everywhere I go. I live in a remote area of the Yukon Territories and there is no electricity near me. This is why EVs are useless and no one should care about them until they…

Rumor has it that Toyota will indeed be bringing the manual to the Supra. The question then, is whether it will be on the 3.0L or be relegated to the 2.0L. It’s pointless if they only do the latter, nobody wants a 2.0L Supra.

I prefer my driving *unfiltered* 

Correct headline: idling in traffic with your windows down in developing countries with minimal pollution controls increases your exposure to pollution (which may or may not be a meaningful increase that has health outcomes because we didn’t test that).

Gorgeous vehicle; it looks very French.

Clickbaity anti-GM title; sounds very Jalopnik.

BMWs are getting ever more expensive yet are less and less what is appealing about BMW, or just straight up going FWD. Not surprising.

The big news are the tube frame doors, which are believed to be an additional option that can be purchased and swapped with the regular doors

I think even with quotation marks ‘hacked’ is generous.

Also, Ford’s web team need to learn not to put things in production environments before things actually go live.

It’s one of my lottery dream cars.

That exhaust is just so gloriously outrageous. It’s like they only had motorcycle parts work with...

I think the Griffith is kinda an okay design. Still not sold on the front end but the side exhaust is a nice touch but it does not hold a candle to Sagaris. This is the best looking TVR ever. The Sagaris stunned me when I first saw it amd still does to this day.

How bout just a revival of the straight-6 Sagaris with the see-through rear wing and sideways rear exhaust ?

This. They know they can make more money offering the “upgrade” auto over the “standard” manual, so they only put it on the nice vehicles that normal people want. The manual gets stuck with the “only wants a cheap vehicle” demographic, and when those are sold in low numbers, its more reason for them to kill off the…

It’s a textbook OE play. Offer the MT, but not in all trims or with all engines (and normally only with the shittier of the choices). No one buys it. Then shrug shoulders and say - well that take rate is terrible, that was dumb, we won’t do that again.

I wish they had package pricing. I reserved a base 2 door, and plan on getting the Sasquatch package, but something tells me it’ll be like $10,000 extra. And yes, it will be a manual. I put my money where the internet’s mouth is for new car purchases :)

It would only be a problem if this were THE Bronco. As it is, they leverage the name for some extra revenue, and the regular Bronco gets built. 

I gotta say I hate this a lot less than I thought I would.
