My younger brother recently moved to Japan, and I had promised him a cool car to experience the JDM lifestyle over there. However, between the time the move was planned and when it happened (due to Covid) the cars I had earmarked for him doubled in value in many cases. Now instead of looking for “cool”, I’m looking… Read more
Since you don’t even know it’s slideshow until you hover over the lead image (edit: or see that easy to miss blue button at the bottom of the article), for the longest time I thought Jalopnik was just throwing up articles after writing the intro paragraph and going, “Well, that seems good enough.”
“안녕히 가세요! Nice train, losers. ㅋㅋ!”
Hers is the Performance, not the long range. .95g is a bit more respectable, just below my BRZ tS at .98g. But in terms of feel, having the center of gravity so low is pretty crazy. The feeling isn’t up to par of any of the BRZs, AE86s, Miatas, evos, or s chassis I’ve had, but the way that thing can move through a… Read more
Phew. I’ve been falling in love with Mercedes coupes lately, the design just speaks to me. But if there are no coupes when I buy my next daily, I can still maintain my boycott of MB USA for giving us the 25-year import law.
Because it also outperforms every modern sports car I want/can afford. That’s why I’m fine with my classic Z, it’s never been quick, just fun. Read more
I agree. I lived on the hill for two years, and the only accidents I ever saw were Prii thinking the gravel runaway truck pit was a turn lane and getting stuck up to their axles.
Yeah, local news was first reporting the vehicle involved as a Bentley SUV. That’s probably one of the best accidental endorsements Genesis could get.
The Model Y is seriously the best daily driver I’ve experienced. But it also puts me into an automotive existential crisis. It’s a 5,000 lb appliance crossover that out accelerates and out corners every sports car I’ve ever owned. It performs at supercar levels, yet will comfortably and silently whisk you to work,…
“He calls it Moby, because it’s a big white whale.”
Yep. I’ve got a collection of classic Toyotas I used to take to a local Toyota dealer I trusted for light maintenance. Since I wanted to keep bringing them business, I asked if they would be able to service my BRZ, since it’s literally identical to an 86 in every way except for the front bumper, headlights, and some… Read more
Since most people are used to reading names rather than hearing them, I want to just add that Ralph Gilles’ last name is pronounced “Jeel.”
Cool easter egg on the GV80 press photo. The Hangul syllable on the Korean plate reads “차” or “car.”
Only as calm and serene as you want it to be, David.
There’s a humongous jump between the Tesla roadster and Miata/BRZ prices. I’d be happy with something in the Corvette/Cayman T/S/ CPO base 911 price range.
I’m a wheel designer, and I feel your pain.
That is a gorgeous 86.
I just want a legit electric enthusiast car, preferably with a 2-door sports car body. I don’t need a back seat and extra doors to drag around. Unless they’re in front of a wagon-style rear end, but we all know that’s never happening in an affordable price range.
If Toyota responds to American enthusiasts excitement and subsequent disappointment over Toyota building a legit performance car completely in house and then not selling it here in the form of the GR Yaris, by saying “Here! have another Toyobaru to go with your existing Toyobaru and Zupra!;” I will be convinced that… Read more
I’m still trying to figure out if this interior is a stereotypical G-wagen, or just the most hilarious Sprinter delivery van ever.
