The biggest cost to that fuel economy isn’t performance since they were so light, but safety. These things were simply not built with any of the safety structure that we take for granted today. The problem with buying an as new Chevy Metro is that if you ever start using it the value of buying an as new version goes…

I’d suggest that every employee helps the company make money, but more men work in a field that are compensated on a more risky commission or profit sharing basis.

No Dice no doubt!

Before even reading the rest of the article I had to comment on your opening statement: “For many people, the main issue with the Porsche 928 was that, from some angles, it looked like an AMC Pacer.”  What many people?  From what angle?  There isn’t a single way that the 928 looks like a Pacer with the exception that…

Definitely Car and Driver and Ed with his famous responses to letter writers made Car and Driver my favorite car mag by far.  At Jalopnik, the community provides these responses.

I call that my sister test.  My sister used to throw the transmission in reverse thinking she was making a left turn signal.  Somehow that old three speed GM automatic never skipped a beat.

I have a few questions for Toyota: With your leadership in hybrids how come you are still introducing models that don’t have hybrid drive as standard equipment? I could expand that by saying why is that the innovator in hybrid vehicles has so few plug-in hybrid options? And lastly why is it that your leadership in…

And please do the math on the extra warranty that comes along with a slightly lower interest rate as that may end up costing you an extra 50 per month.  How?  Why?  The cost of the warranty is close to that amount.

Here’s why this is not a Nice Price: “Along with the dual-fuel system, the ad says this W124 comes with a tow bar and a good bit of preventative maintenance under the hood.”  There’s a reason this comes with a tow bar, it needs to be towed a lot.  I would have considered this one if it was diesel only, but the frybid…

Your comment shows that Nissan dealers were not committed to electric cars. There’s no way a dealer’s loaner should have had only 96 miles.

In all the years I’ve owned cars (a long time), I’ve yet to own a car in which the armrest suited perfectly. My current Fusion is about the best, but only because I have to lower my seat in order to fit my humongous head. Most vehicles I’ve owned I’ve had the seats up where I’m comfortable and my elbows wave about 3…

I don’t know, but the average consumer kinda remembers the name of a vehicle, not necessarily what it looks like.  Hence they kinda know that the Sportage competes with the CVR/RAV4, but not necessarily how well.

Hair does not break if the water around it is frozen.  I’ve lived in Northern climates most of my life and have never experienced broken hair by frost.

You’ve answered your own question: “I don’t know where all the good ones went after they got new head gaskets…”  If they needed new head gaskets so early in life then they were never good in the first place.

I think for the majority of people there still isn’t an electric car that functions well as an only vehicle other than for people in California.  On the other hand as a second vehicle (and primary commuting vehicle) an electric car works perfectly even now for probably over half of the people.

This should have been one of the answers to “what kind of car should I buy” this week.

Barff, sorry, barff.  I just can’t get this out of my memory.  No, I’ll take the Juke a thousand times before this.

I didn’t read anywhere that the toy designer wanted something unreliable and old.  No, I read that the designer wanted a daily driver, thus reliability seems to be of the utmost importance.  Hence I recommend something either brand new or nearly new such as the Maverick pickup which can be had for just under 25 000…

I don’t care what all the naysayers say; it is a cool feature and it looks good.  We used to drive 15 to 20 year old diesel tandem axle trucks and they all had some sort of shutter feature to help the diesel engine warm up properly and they would open in conditions where the engine would get too hot, and this feature…

Another great reason for reading Jalopnik, the expertise of fans around the world.
