I say this is a lifelong Lotus fan (previous Elise owner)...what will make Lotus stand out? At least if you stuck an EV powertrain in a Morgan or Caterham, they look...well, different. When Chevrolet or Ford has an EV SUV that you can do 0-60 in under 4 seconds for 40kish, where does that leave any of these other…

The Nissan NX. It was the successor to the Pulsar NX that is well-loved on Jalopnik. Based on the Sentra platform, it was available with the SR20DE engine from the SE-R plus all of the SE-R’s handling accoutrements, in addition to having larger brakes than the SE-R offered. It also came with t-tops and a sporty…

Current Golf R is kinda ruined due to extensive modification.

It’s a pretty car and a sensible update of the design, and I think someone should try to build one.  But personally, I’d hate having to constantly explain to people that it’s not a 356.

I really hope to see in the near future more people going out and trying to make real molds and kits based off some of these concept cars, with the way 3d printers, modeling software and vacuum forms are getting cheaper i hope someone can pull it off are make some real kits 

Gotta be Lotus, doesn’t it? Since unlucky, to me, means companies afflicted by things beyond their control, Lotus has had to deal with founders unexpectedly dying, constant shuffling around between owners, laws changing to make their product harder to sell...

Is this even a contest? Because Preston Tucker has to take this one hands-down. He produced a car way ahead of its time and was squashed by the Big Three only for them to later use a lot of the features he wanted on his cars. Whether you believe the theatrics of the movie or not, Tucker was a prime example of how hard…

The Lyriq has CAPACITIVE BUTTONS.

Around Austin TX, I see lots of full-size pickups that have been lowered to (approximately) car ride height, with ground-effect skirts. These are especially funny when they’re duallies. I think these are driven by guys whose particular machismo variant prevents them from driving a car, but they really want to be…

I own an ‘04 6MT V70R and a ‘19 6MT VW Sportwagen. The newest V70R you can buy is going to be 14 years old. The VW was discontinued for the US market in ‘20.

The answer is Suzuki Kizashi, right?

The GTI (excluding the original). MK3/4 is kind of the epitome of it. Yes, they are more fun than the standard golf, but they’re definitely compromise cars. They’re sorta fun, sorta good handling, useful, but not extremely good at any of those things. That’s partially the charm of it for a single car, but also…

Tesla Model 3. It has some weird halo effect despite being ugly and having a bargain basement interior... And that's before getting into the quality issues. It drives fine, it's fast, and electric... But since when does that get it a free pass when it also costs $50k?

To think there are people starving (right here in America too) and these spoiled brats are literally throwing food out the window. And yes, I realize Kraft Singles are a poor excuse for “cheese”, doesn’t make this any better. 

Wow, who knew Busta was an idiot.

WTF is going on with kids today? This is only slightly less stupid than eating Tide Pods. When I was that age we could be punk rockers and say bad things about the President.  

Any crew-cab 1500 pick up truck. Too much room inside for 5 but not enough for more. Beds that are too small to really be used for work. I know that these aren’t enthusiast cars but they’re not that useful. I inherited an F-150 for work. Lease on it ended and I sold it. Happy to now be driving a minivan.

If you’re in prison long enough it starts to feel like home. Same thing.

Counterpoint: it doesn’t

You mean Torch wouldn’t?
