I am sure you’re right, and I have to admit I don’t understand that point of view. If someone wants a manual in a modern M5, which is a boat of a car, then they surely would want a manual in a Corvette.

Depends on the vehicle really. In a light weight sports car I’m firmly in the “no manual, no care” camp. Same thing for a hot hatch. In a overpowered heavier car like this new Corvette I understand/accept the automatic.

Not just the steering wheels, the seats as well. It’s very common to see relatively short drivers (both men and women) with their seat in a position that is too low. This is a bad decision, both from a safety and a visibility perspective.

I believe that is the point. The previous gen Cadillac cars were overpriced. They tried to sell a (somewhat) down-market car for an upmarket price. It made them uncompetitive, even when they weren’t bad cars.

I’m tired of having to climb out of a hole every morning. The higher ride height just makes more sense in a daily.

This is true, because the maximum legal speed is lowered for vehicles towing something. Doesn’t matter if you have a Yaris or some kind of American bro truck.

This.

I remember a few reviews of this vehicle, here on Jalopnik. Like, once a week for many weeks now. They might or might not have had a different badge, but the idea was the same; cushy crossover minivan blob thing that is practical/spacious/thirsty/comfortable/generic.

‘Downshift Blue’ is a bit of an ironic name for a car with a mandatory slushbox.

The problem with professional sports pay is that these athletes are not salaried employees. Athletes do get more if they win, and they get more when the sponsors earn more as well. Serena Williams (ranked #10 and very popular) will earn more than Lauren Davis (ranked #95 and almost unknown). Even when they would…

Among Europeans, Germans are the most common cruise ship passengers. According to your link.

It sure used to be. The crossover reviews and whatnot have watered it down quite a bit in recent years.

This is an enthusiast website, meaning there will always be a bias favoring enthusiast vehicles. Something crossovers typically are not, even when they have a lot of hp. I would argue that favoring one over the other is not the same as telling people what to do either.

I would define it differently:

4 people sleeping in one (admittedly spacious) subcompact from the 1980s? I can imagine that being very intimate :)

With my 1.87 meters (relatively short legged) I can sit behind myself in a 205 just fine, assuming it’s not a longer road trip.

Mainstream automakers are finally catching on to the fact that no one said an electric vehicle had to look — or drive — like an under-powered jelly bean.

That 205 GTi is probably the most fun to drive car with a usable back seat in that list of cars.

It’s the chant itself that is the problem. It sounds aggressive, which makes it misplaced and obnoxious. Especially abroad.

Regardless of how fast it really is, when you care about drag races in a (somewhat) vintage sports car you're doing it wrong. Who cares how fast a car like this is in a straight line compared to something from 2019? That's not why you buy an old sports car.
