With the exceptions of the uninspiring MKC and MKZ, it looks like they didn’t pull the names out of a politically correct corporate speak hat. Nautilus is a cool car name. Flex Ecoboost sounds like an efficient  dishwasher.

Their new line-up and the corresponding quality of those vehicles was garbage this year. Having a new Mustang in the works is going to help but they really need to ditch the grey amorphous crossover blobs. They can’t beat the Japanese at all for “acceptable and affordable crossover blobs.” I’d rather drive a

I’ve said it many times, but every Chevy I’ve owned has tried to kill me at least once. The worst example was the power steering in a new ‘02 Monte Carlo going out at 60mph in a 90 degree turn and throwing me directly into a 10 foot ditch. After the Failblazer and rental Malibu Maxx I swore the company off and it

I remember that crap Mustangs got for the fake vents back in 2000. I never thought those vents would be conservative in the future.

The performance version was the Genesis Coupe, which I sorely miss. That was a really underappreciated pony car.

I immediately heard the In Living Color theme when I saw this car.

It’s going to be something they whip out for limited editions for an extra $2500. I’m surprised Porsche hasn’t thought of it already.

No, that’s “Chevy Grey,” the interior color that can absorb enthusiasm and dash hopes.

Are you implying you made that mistake more than once?

“212 HP? What kind of gas mileage is it getting?”

We’re one retro refresh away from the Big O car.

I don’t think the question is “what” it’s called (a hatchback obviously), but rather what it “should” be called. And I believe the answer may very well be the Swing Hatch.

“So you’re a graduate and an adult now, what are you doing with the rest of your life?”

“the engineers...” - say no more.

It’s a very common bit of “information” whenever you google about car loan payments. I payed my loan off an extra year in advance this Christmas and my score definitely did not go down. Being told my credit score might “fluctuate” didn’t convince me to not cancel out a large sum of interest money.

The only thing worth the effort besides debadging is comedic/ironic false badging. I laughed when I slipped the P-VEZ green leaf badge off my Subaru and stuck it on a Tahoe. If you can mix and match your junk yard letters into something fun like adding “ANAL” to your old Explorer then I think it’s effort well spent.

Are there actually people that hate the Ferrari 250 GTO Spyder and the Mercedes 300SL?

Because there really are sexy devices and you don’t want to conflate the two.

We’ve had multiple articles arguing about where the eyes are supposed to be on cartoon automobiles. The semantics argument is a long way from home out here on Jalopnik.

The problem of the cracked manifold was noted but not repaired or disclosed to the buyer, which was a major reason that they lost the suit. Once the precedent of deception was established the dealer couldn’t fall back on “our word versus theirs” arguments to explain away product defects.
