Interest rates are determined by the banks, and in CT the max dealer markup of a bank’s offer is 2.5%, so Ms Morales simply has bad credit. Many, many dealers use that minimum trade advertising technique, and they all basically use the rebates and the full sticker profit of the vehicle you are buying to “show” you…

So the IOC had to choose between Chicago, Tokyo, Madrid and Rio. So naturally it chose the city and country least suited to such a massive project. Why are the Olympics held in 3rd world hell holes so often?

I’m just trying to figure out why Hyundai chose to reproduce the old Toyota Avalon

Toyotas actually hates the rest of us. Before we would just be irritated by either the slow “I wanna run only on battery” Prius drivers or the “I’m doing it wrong” speed demon Prius drivers, but the car basically faded from memory instantly. Now its like staring at the sun, and you feel blind and a little sick every…

Sadly, this really is our autonomous future. We won’t own our cars, we will just pay for the service and one of these pods will show up whenever we need one.

I think there should be compulsory military service for all young men and women. Especially with all the butt hurt feelings, safe spaces kids seem to need today. Time to toughen up.

Agreed. The GT is better looking than the Touring, but gives up all the practicality that the Touring had.

I’m noticing the dual exhaust on this one...

I totally agree. The only thing missing from the GT is power. It already looks like it has power, just never actually had any.

I had a 2013 Elantra GT and loved it. The only thing wrong with it was a lack of power. Never understood why they didn’t sell better.

A mess sunshade? How GM of Tesla. Why hasn’t Musk thought of this:

If you can get an HEL, you can get a 0% credit card and do a balance transfer instead. Makes more sense than risking your house

It’s absolutely insane. People do do it all the time, same with taking a home equity loan to pay off credit cards. Let me think - you want to pay an unsecured debt with secured debt? Makes no sense to me. Why put all your eggs in one basket? If you get into money trouble, you’d rather have a paid for car and lose your…

In a world where people live inside their phones, swiping away or blocking conflicts, people have lost the ability to handle face to face confrontation, and the result is a violent outburst. Here is but the latest example.

It's a struggle to get jalopnik to load quickly on my phone. I would doubt the connectivity speeds would allow a remote human driver to save the day in an emergency

Mazda is timing the diesel intro to the returns of Alfa and Saab so it will be a big party.

I agree with skipping this model and getting the regular Turbo with the navigation (with the much needed backup camera). That’ll get you the panoramic sunroof too, which is really nice. Since these depreciate wildly, save $10k and get a 2 year old one. These really aren’t on the hoon’s radar, so finding a clean one…

People have figured out the scam of the manufacturers charging extra for there exciting colors, only to have the dealers tell them the color won’t sell and is worth less at trade in time.

Go ahead and argue that last $300, but if they let you walk (and risk losing the sale), it’s you and not them.

If you know CT, then you know our government has no clue. We are doomed. I do love how many rats in the legislature are jumping ship and retiring, now that has become clear that the gravy train is over. Good riddance.
