It looks like someone tried to knockoff the Wrangler but pass it off like a Range Rover. I know that sounds retarded and it looks nothing like a Range Rover but I can't look at that side view without thinking either LR2 or Defender. Maybe both.

Oh no! A dedicated selfie camera! The horror!

Well, this is awkward.

I don't know that I'd be so concerned with the motor/engine technicality so much as the sedan bit. Looks like a wagon or hatch to me, because it looks more like a Malibu Maxx than any sedan I can think of.

My half-decent answer:

I'm hoping that this is a phase, sort of the same way the SUV craze brought trucks of about every variant:

Chevrolet Express is singlehandedly holding up the archaic image of the standard white van. New vans like the Transit and Promaster series have disgusting features like modern styling, efficient engines and space-saving FWD drivetrains (I think just the Promaster...?).

Ha.

It's what could perhaps be called The Adobe Problem with piracy. Adobe makes expensive software products like Photoshop that are simply outside the range of most people. However, they're also supremely useful. "Photoshop" is on that rare level of ubiquity alongside "Google", "Taser", and "Super Glue" where the product…

How the fuck does Jezebel have room to complain about the relevance of Palin's writing compared to Youfazai's? A blog composed of reactions to social media posts and 'don't tell me to dress skinny!' is gonna try and say what books are important and what aren't? Fuck off.

The comment from Brian Sherin is spot on. This is idiotic.

Not a mainstream vehicle nor TRACK DAY enough for the enthusiasts, 300 never gets the credit it deserves.

Why is their screen for this image a music player? And in landscape? Holy shit.

South Park is not a political party.

SUV prices are even more insane now that these are considered luxury items. GM raised the price on the triplets, which are now really the only notable American SUVs with Trailblazer giving way to Traverse and Explorer becoming a Taurus wagon. Yeah, there's the Wrangler, but... that's kind of a niche affair.

It's just one of those things you know, man. Like 4-door coupe or 2-door sedan. (So manufacturer intent means a lot)

We get it. The US has Scion, and the GT86 is the Toyota version's name. But damn it, it's the same bloody car, and while 86 actually has some retro callback meaning in Toyotanese, FR-S is just confusing.

If it still runs you don't complain.

Cadillac in 2004 was going through an identity crisis. They were starting a new naming scheme, they had the Escalade, a big and doomed FWD sedan, the exciting new RWD German-fighting CTS and an upcoming RWD bigger than the CTS.
