The designers of this interface are probably the Silicon Valley tech hipster type who can’t imagine why anyone would ever willingly subject themselves to the tedious horrors of driving. They assume you’ll be on autopilot eating a sandwich or pleasuring yourself 99.7% of the time, situations where adjusting these…
Wow, 90's design is tougher than I thought. Definitely put up Maximal resistance to the repeated Impaling.
A couple weeks ago I saw a corolla upside down against the divider on the 101. Sedan, wagon, SUV, whatever. Nothing is idiot proof.
Also, Europe is a thing that exists. Aside from many luxury cars and some high performance models, pretty much every single “average” vehicle is available with a manual transmission. Several models that you can’t buy with a third pedal in the US are often equipped that way across the pond. Its not just fun to drive…
I had a friend who was told by the Honda dealer last year not to drive her CR-V until they had done the recall, which could potentially take over a month waiting for the parts to arrive. She wasn’t happy about this at all, basically saying “What are the chances I’ll actually get in an accident and need the airbag…
The driver must have been really stoned...
In my car at least, if you leave the lights in auto they always turn on with the wipers, regardless of how dark it is.
Are the tail lights as stupid as the last one? http://jalopnik.com/the-vw-tiguans-us-taillights-are-princes-of-lies-1574321243
Not the same thing but related: For intersections that have green left turn arrows, when the arrow turns yellow and oncoming traffic is about to start moving, do you gun it and try to get through or stop? In New Jersey I usually see the former, especially at busy intersections where you’re likely to get stuck until…
After reading Jalopnik this long I’m willing to bet more than half of us have bought entire cars for less.
This has to be one of the most pathetic attempts to advertise any car that I’ve ever seen. What’s the selling point here - that this generic looking CUV is capable of transporting people to a restaurant and back home? Well duh. Its a car. The exact same task could be accomplished by a rusty 1993 Toyota Corolla,…
If they named the ad campaign more honestly, “Real People who don’t give a single shit about cars. Not actors.” I might hate it less. Might.
On top of what everyone else has already said about your viewpoint, you’re assuming he didn’t have permission to create this artwork from the vehicle owners. In the video of the BMW on his Instagram (the only passenger car I could find on the page) you can see someone inside as he’s walking around. Presumably if he’s…

I’m not so sure about that. Less than a decade ago they were still manufacturing the Cobalt, a car literally defective to the point that it killed people.
