Joke: Simply revive Checker. Then auction it off. Whoever buys it will just merge it onto one of thier existing lame FWD platforms, and tada! Economy.

I'm gonna guess that he copied the first paragraph so that it would show up on the front page. Assuming when you share a post on Kinja, it won't grab text from the linked post to show as the article's description on the front page.

The Miata isn't the best car ever made. It's not the finest-handling sports car ever built. But for your money, good luck finding anything as fun.

Sounds like you're too hung up on the name Passat.

Wow, Fiat actually taking a stance to preserve Dodge's image of unabashedly American? I'm shocked.

Curiously no mention of the C Max, which until today I thought was Ford's first dedicated hybrid.

That's the same one Rut drove in that one Top Gear, right?

We just had RegularCars talk about how Honda had no problem shitting out shit and riding their reputation with the leaky, boring Fit.... and that's the company that's gonna whine that fleet sales don't count?

I think it's neat, I'd want one if I were a Ford person. If it prompted Chevrolet to bring over the new Trailblazer that'd be nice.

It doesn't even look like a Challenger... like, the front end looks like someone took the Challenger front end and had to squish it because it was too big.

Okay, a Cayenne is a luxury truck that's a solid replacement for the G class? That's like saying the BMW 3 GT is a better muscle car than a Charger SRT8. You don't get it.

Surely this is only a "hot new trend" amongst NRA white people, and we're ignoring the practices of gang members who've been doing this for a long while now?

Why would you go down? The money to be made from autonomous vehicles lies heavily in bigger things than smaller. RVs, semis - those are where people want autonomy. Who the fuck is choosing a motorcycle over a car and then going "wouldn't it be cool if it could drive itself?"

*Deep American muscle voice*

To be fair, you present this as if the twitter backlash is a notable occurance that was provoked - by and large it's just standard operation. Hell, the page I was on just before this was some Gawker writer recieving negative Twitter comments.

Sure is great to load up Jalopnik the car website so I can read about how some people I don't give a fuck about from some city I don't give a fuck about have beef with a local news network I don't give a fuck about over a sport I don't give a fuck about.

Can you get a Wrangler Unlimited under $20k? Those will probably shoot up in price once Fiat unveils a FWD Panda-based successor that looks like shit.

It's odd to see this style with no SUVs. I mean, I get it's based on this 80's Australian thing, so they do it because that's the work. But still, seeing something that looks like this with no SUVs feels off.

2 door SUVs.

That stickerbombed bit of the interior is really bothering me.
