I have a diesel JL Rubicon with 35"s and a 2" lift and wheeled with a G550 4x4*2 and they are legit. Can go places I couldn’t. But the tires on these are not optimal to say the least, too low profile. But as long as he was not in the crazy rock stuff, he was fine. Oh yeah, and it’s a serious luxury car inside. I don’t

Yeah, I remember my friend gave me a ride in his new QQ years ago. I think it was falling apart the second it left the factory. I haven’t seen one driving under its own power for a long time now. 

Not being able to pass smog really nukes a car’s value in California. These cars had a problematic turbo 4 IIRC, so it may not even be worth the money and effort to get it emissions compliant.

Not cool enough to get me to cancel my Jesko order.  Try harder Mercedes.

I believe the task at hand was to consider what brand has, in it’s history, built the fewest trash cars.

Zoom calls?

That makes it look like a Rolls, only less cool.

Had one. Its living proof that GM can make a decent car and then turn it into an EPIC Turd:

Weirdly, I’ve driven bolt of these versions in anger. At one autocross I swapped cars with a friend that has a Saturn Ion Redline, the supercharged version. The steering was simultaneously some of the heaviest I’ve ever driven, and also the most numb. Combine that with the lack of LSD, and I had absolutely no concept

Chevy? Do they even make cars anymore?

Bing Bong. 

It needs to be 1 lane wider

The value of the the ForTwo was its size, which made it super easy the maneuver and park in places other cars wouldn’t fit. Granted it was just unnecessary in North America. You also didn’t get the diesel engine which made it a lot more economical to run.

Hastings suggests getting publications to take down negative coverage by offering sex to journalists as a favor, with Autoblog getting a mention later in the episode. I’m not jealous, but why not Jalopnik?
