To me, this looks like an modern Toyota Matrix.   If given that it’s based on the Corolla like the Matrix, if they offer it with a manual, then I don’t care what they call it... it’s basically a new Matrix.

Yes it is indeed a shame especially considering accounts like the faKE Dr. Emilio Lizardo roll along like always.

FUCK people who jump to internet conclusions without knowing any of the facts in the case.

That was my comment. I’m sorry I have committed wrongthink. Hopefully, they won’t send me to the gulag. 

I can’t believe they deleted that comment but they sure did.  It’s pretty disgusting.

Albert Burneko (Deadspin, RIP) used to do that to me all the time. Every time I’d disagree with him from the grays, account deleted.

I feel like they should have killed the Spark but spared the Sonic a bit longer...I always liked this car, albeit I wasn’t in the market of one. I always thought it looked okay.

If you read about this elsewhere, you will find that this vehicle was completely surrounded on a city street and some of the “peaceful protestors” were trying to bust out the windows. You conveniently left this part out of your story. Guess that it didn’t fit you bias.

Yeah I understand and accept the editorial slant of this website despite not always agreeing with it.

As I’ll say again... “merely inconvenienced” is a bullshit way of saying “held against their will”. These protestors have no right to hold innocent people against their will. Full stop. God forbid someone decides to actually escape....and no, oftentimes you can’t just make a U-Turn. Most of these blockages are…

It appears as though the powers that be at Jalopnik chose to hide/dismiss the most starred comment (at 120 stars) on this article despite being a respectable comment that happened to contradict the author.  Copying and reposting it, because it deserves to be read and not stricken from the record being in contradiction…

And you’re missing the “surrounded by protestors” part. Kind hard to back up and go another way when the mob has you surrounded.

How about if the crowd protests in a park or only on the sidewalk and not the damn street.  That would be awesome.

From Patch.com”Directly before the driver accelerated, his car was surrounded by protesters who asked him to go a different way, according to video taken by witnesses and posted to social media. One protester can be heard telling others to pop the SUV’s tires before the driver hits the gas.”

Did they attack you and attempt to pull you out of your vehicle beat you and destroy your car?

And fuck rioters and arsonists who believe their form of terrorism is a legitimate form of protest

It is a jungle out there.

When a police officer detains you against your will without charges, you sue his department under the 4th Amendment to the US Constitution and you get paid.
