Any GM vehicle. Beyond defining the rental car interior, they’re a shitty company that first screwed up and then tried to weasel out of their obligations to fix the ignition switch issues in the Cobalt and in 2019 they cancelled the health insurance of striking auto workers as a way to force them back on the job. I…

Most Nissan, Mistubishi or Stellantis vehicles. Had many Nissan’s as rentals and they were below average, but the worst I had was a Mistubishi Lanser a close second was the Nissan sentra.

No better than this grifter, really.

That’s how the robotaxis will work too. Instead of bringing taxi drivers from the Middle East and Africa to work in America, they will just have them run the taxis from their home towns through a starlink connection.

Also when are we going to get to the point where everyone can stop using the (definitely not accurate) term “AI” as a flash phrase on everything? I’m guessing not any time soon.

I wouldn’t recommend any Dodge/Stellantis product to anyone.

Surprise? I haz none.

Even without know about dude in spandex suit, or dude controlling robot folding close, it was OBVIOUS the robot was mimicking what a person was doing behind the curtain. Particularly the way it was waving at people that screams robot trying to mimic the movements of a person in a remote control rig.

A deceptive Tesla stunt? Never.

At this point, you’re a complete fool if you believe a word that man says.

I live a couple of miles from Research Triangle Park in the Raleigh-Durham area, and every fresh off the boat Indian with an IT paycheck buys one of these as a caste system status symbol. My Texan BiL thought I was joking when I said that 1:8 cars we pass will be a Tesla ... until he came to visit.

As a mechanic, when people ask me what to buy, I tell them to avoid anything Stellantis, German, especially VAG,  Nissan, and Ford. Only because that's 95% of what we see in the shop, and mostly big-ticket repairs. ( EcoBoost turbos anyone?)  But I can't complain. Pays the rent. 

None of them. I would never recommend a car to a non-car person again. Shit goes wrong with the car or they just don’t like it, then it’s somehow on me.

If they knew how to build cars that were as strong as the motors, they would be called General Automobiles.

Korean. The vehicles are fine. I drive a fleet Santa Fe. But I’m an industrial repair engineer and have worked in a number of Korean plants in the US and Mexico. They’re full of OSHA violations, the kind that endanger workers. Some that I have worked in have been locked down and fined. Korean plants stand out among…

Any Chevy. GM’s interiors in general are a joke, but Chevy in particular makes you feel like you’re sitting in a product designed for a developing market. I don’t want to pay US car prices for an Indonesian driving experience.

Any Escalade, in any trim. If you really need a fancy, giant, box-shaped tank to take your kids to school and soccer practice, buy a Yukon Denali and save your self $25K - $30K. At least then when the plastics start cracking, and all the fittings start creaking and rattling, and the leather starts wearing out, and the…

This is low hanging fruit, but I recently discouraged a friend from buying a Tesla.

You picked the Gladiator for legitimate reasons, but I’ll pick ANY Stellantis vehicle. In the last decade, I’ve had four that everyone of their transmission went out in. You’d think at least ONE might break 100K miles without a new trans.
