That’s not a “new way,” ‘heads in asses’ is actually the norm at Gawker.

So basically the American equivalent of a Dacia.

I see what you did there.

Traitor, leach, war criminal.

Passat. I think it’s a lot of car for the money. Most importantly, the leg room.

Always thought these look like wagons, just a tad taller.

Lightweight, cheap and practical body and frame 4x4s.

Don’t European motorways go around cities? If you do a trip on the Interstates anywhere in the Eastern US, you are pretty much forced to go right through many cities, which can really bring you to a standstill near rush hour. Really kills your ETA.

But hiding behind an overpass with a radar gun to enforce an artificially underposted speed limit is soo much easier!

Shameless plug, if you’re for reasonable speed limits (or the lack of speed limits):

The majority of drivers will not go faster than what they feel is comfortable and safe regardless of the speed limit. For example, an 18-month study following an increase in the speed limit along the New York Thruway from 55 to 65 mph, determined that the average speed of traffic, 68 mph, remained the same. Even a…

We want more horsepower because we’re fat. Meanwhile a Polo 1.2 TDI just overtook a Jaaag on the Autobahn...

Anything < the 75 mph (120 km/h) global standard

Oh man, this would be awesome for getting around big estates, especially when raining.

I’m actually liking this trend of ‘crossoverification’ or ‘wagonification’ of SUVs. It makes them seem more honest (plus more efficient) instead of giving them that facade of ruggedness assoc with a boxy look. Because 99% of the time these are simply people carriers. Some good examples are the new Q7, Pilot, and this…
