This is something of a meta-commentary: I actually really appreciate how you kept the article relatively unbiased, yet still included your opinion in the comments. It makes the article feel objective and reliable, while allowing you room to express your personal thoughts.

As a driver? One (hit a parked car at 10-15 mph while looking down to buckle my seatbelt in an ‘87 Corolla; no injuries). As a passenger? Plenty. In a Pontiac 1000, I was sleeping on the front passenger seat with no seatbelt on when we spun out into a concrete Jersey barrier at about 70 on the highway; my head went

My dad has had subscriptions to Automobile, R&T and C/D for as long as I can remember, so I don’t have a preference. I maybe started reading them in 5th, I dunno. Before that it was all pictures...

Come on, this is so obvious. VW. VW rebadged the Caravan, now it’s FCA’s turn to rebadge the Jetta and Passat.

Dear Jalopnik Crew and Patrick George,

Hellcat Charger

When I was a senior in high school, I job shadowed a friend’s dad who was a Chrysler executive. As such, I spent an entire workday with him and sat in one meeting where the team that would become SRT was brainstorming what their next SEMA show cars should be. There was a guy in that meeting named Herb Helbig (I think)

Hey Chrysler when Jalops said to “Hellcat all things” we weren’t entirely serious, but we’ll take it!

I love this thing for precisely this reason. It’s up there with the i8 in terms of a company literally just building the concept car. Sure, it’s a bit busy in places. But who cares? I hope more follow suit.

Rocketship?

I’d personally pass on both.

Just so I am clear, the best Scions to buy are actually either a Subaru or a Mazda. At this point they should make a crossover based on the HR-V and call it a day.

I have too, I live near one of their original dealerships. But they didn’t sell many and went under really quickly... I’d see that as a likely scenario for a company with no specifics on what cars they’ll actually be selling unless the owners are willing to eat significant losses (similar to Tesla) for a while.

Girls like Fords? Sorry Mr. Regular, not this one. If I were single, I can say any man with a Ford truck would strike out immediately. Probably any guy with a truck in general. The whole blue collar/country boy thing is a massive turn off.

Main difference is that this one actually drives.

Is it really that hard to wire up a golf cart motor and battery to the damn thing? It doesn’t have to be fast, but it would be so much better for the company image if the thing moved about under it’s own power.

cool? terrible. Terrible is the word you’re looking for. I didnt like these stupid hotwheels concepts when I was 5 and I dont like them now.

Um, excuse me, but that car was drivable.
