Pronunciations vary from region to region. The fact that British and Americans pronounce "aluminum" differently does not make one correct and one incorrect. The same is true with the pronunciation of Jaguar. The British didn't invent the word, it's named after a cat, and the name is's pronunciation varies from region…

I think most Europeans would argue that we in the US have several dirt cheap hatchbacks available to us...at least dirt cheap compared to the prices they pay. The base golf comes to mind, it's a heck of a lot cheaper over here than there.

My 2013 F150 Platinum has interchangeable ambient lighting colors in the cab.

To work, I'd drive exactly what I'm driving, an anonymous loaded F150. But in my garage out of sight of employees and the public I'd have a batcave stuffed with every exotic on the planet, Sheik-style, and drive them around on the weekends wearing a disguise.

an upgrade usually refers to increasing the expense of an item. I am well aware that the GTI is the enthusiasts choice of the two as is everyone else that reads jalopnik.

A GTI is not an "upgrade" to a TSX, at least not if price is an indicator. A new TSX was more expensive.

Having lived in Europe for a couple years, it's somewhat amusing being from the US to hear jalopnik-types wax poetic about the wonders of small diesel hatches. Many Europeans aspire to large-displacement petrol engines but simply can't afford them. They view them as the enthusiasts choice, not tiny diesels. I guess…

I question the author's claim that Republicans and/or big business are unduly involved in perpetuating tariff-like standards differences. In fact the US auto manufacturers have been among the biggest advocates unifying safety standards. After all, they have significant overseas investments and it would only serve…

Come on guy, he's one of the most down to earth car lovers on the planet. If you like cars, it's impossible not to like Jay Leno. If you're a hipster me-too follower, go ahead and bash.

The military is not the US governments single biggest expenditure. Defense and international military aid combined is 19% of GDP. Social Security is 22% and medicare/medicaid is 21% of GDP. Source is the center on budget and policy priorities.

When I saw "Japanese" and "condom" in the headline, I just assumed it was about them developing the smallest condoms.

So instead of a coal powered car, in Quebec the Model S is a river-dam powered car. How green.

Maybe that power is keeping the crash-inferno device charged.

It's illegal for GM to mandate pricing to dealers. That's why it's called MSRP. As in SUGGESTED. So take a deep breath.

Ah jalopnik, a place where daily driving vintage sports car with single-digit fuel economy is cheered while families of 5 with a suburban are lambasted as baby seal killers. What is a better use of resources, you on a track day in your E30 M3 or a mom driving her 3 kids to school and all their gear in a full-size SUV?…

actually I saw two different guys there wearing Google glasses.

I attended this year for the first time. Tickets cost $225, not $500. I found very little pretension or snobbery and a whole lot of genuine car enthusiasts. Sitting in the shuttle back to my remote parking lot was a nice unremarkable guy who as it turns out owns one of the vintage Ferarris on the Ferrari display…

I had a base model 2nd gen Integra RS sedan. Roll up windows, cloth seats, manual locking doors, no A/C, manual transmission. It wasn't sold on luxury, it was sold on superior engineering. That's what Acura offered in the early days.

I bought my teenage daughter a 2012 EX-L and after a year of indifferent treatment it still looks like new inside. The hard plastics that horrified reviewers hold up great to wear and tear. The so-called redesign for 2013 consisted of, as far as I can see, different plastic texturing and some chrome strips on the…
