The real story is that ridiculous sign advertising “More gas per gallon.”

If every single android phone running somewhat recent software won’t work to find these products, it’s useless. The whole point of Find My product is that every iphone is a Find My scanner. If you need to run an app or something like that and only a few phones scan, it’s pointless.

At least Google waited until iOS had support for unknown Google tags, unlike Apple who didn’t give a shit about Airtags following Android users, putting the security of non Apple users at risk when they release their version

I’ve found that most people, ordinary non-car fans unlike Jalops, seem to be happy in a 55-75mph speed range. They don’t, generally, seem to want to go up to 80mph.

We can add Kei trucks to the growing list of things that have more rights than women in Texas.

Not really different from driving a Miata, Smart, or any other small car. Or, for that matter, no different from riding a motorcycle anywhere. 

Well, not all Jalopnik readers are in the US, but yes it sure does suck to read about stuff we’re not going to get, especially when it’s this interesting (to me at least).

Hold on- so this is not coming to the US? What is the point of Jalopnik reviewing this car then?  Just to show us all the good stuff we are missing?

Looks like a solid contender in its class. It owns the VW design mantra of being rather unfussy and essentially pragmatic.

Enthusiasts seem to drool over the longroof cars in comments and on forums, but generally don’t bring cash to the table to move these units off the lot in the US of A.

It is cool that die hards

Q: Why does VW hate America, and since they clearly do, why should we care about this car at all?

I get that you must harvest those clicks, but damn, is it so hard to include it sooner into the article?

I still have a soft spot for Mitsubishi. They probably have the most potential out of all of them to be honest. They’ve been around for over 100 years, their off-roading capabilities is on par with the best of the best. Back in the day, they were just trying things just try them out and even when they were racing

I admit it. I prefer Volvos.

Yeah I feel the giant touchscreen taking over many of the controls is really going to kill the reputation they’ve tried to build as the company that sells are car you can hand down to your newborn when they turn 16.

Modern cars are all so reliable now that I am surprised it is even a part of the conversation. 

100k for a CHEVY

Too bad you can’t roll down that iPad on the dash.

Wow! Every. Single. Design. Decision is a lesson in what _not_ to do!

I don’t think it needs to be yet another testosterone dripping machine. I’d love something like a modern day Isuzu Trooper or first-gen Mitsubishi Montero -- basically a “pair of favorite jeans” truck that’s simple, useful for people, dogs or cargo, and can poke its way down a real trail every once and again. 

all cars should have recovery points.
