It’s almost like one of their contractors started working it but never followed through.

For fucks sake it’s a pickup truck. This is hoarding toilet paper all over again. You think Ford isn’t going to make enough trucks? Just like the Corvette, the Bronco, and the (insert “desirable new vehicle” here), these companies are going to keep the plants running as fast as they can until demand runs out. Paying…

I don’t know how much it helps. It saves on the development costs but it also puts a major risk on the industry - imagine some fundamental design problem that instead of being in 100k cars is in 1000k cars and requires a mass recall. That’s what dependence on Takata created.

Engines are not the expensive part of vehicle development, it’s the platforms.

Any automaker that actually made autos in 2021 had a good year.  Most were smart enough to focus on the high profit margin vehicles too.

Tipping the vending machine will NOT result in free product :p

RWD 15 R coupe here (in firesand orange no less lol) and the previous owner had a lot of work done by the dealership under warranty, I’m scheduled for a coolant leak repair (the shitty plastic y pipe UNDER the supercharger) and a lot of general maintenance still needs to be done...

Well, I deserved that. 

Congratulations on growing out of your booster seat!

This one is easy. As a bigger guy myself I understand! Get an 8th gen Civic Si. 

Is a base 911 worth as much as a Cayman GT4 ($101,200 for both)? That’s the real question IMO.

He’s specifically looking for recommendations that will fit his frame. Just saying “buy cheap” won’t do it.

Based on the number of people leading with “this thing is great at what it does, but it’s just so old” I fear for a number of posters’ grandparents.

I had a 300 as a rental last week. I was impressed by how well it still fills the niche of “big American sedan”, but there isn’t really anything else to compare it to. It was pretty comfy, and pretty quiet, and probably an Avalon is the only thing in the same realm that’s targeted more toward comfort than sportiness.…

Police cars. According to many on jalopnik anytime a police car is in public it results in death and destruction. They shouldn’t ever turn on the lights because it causes criminals to then run and kill people. And they shouldn’t ever enforce any laws. So police cars really just shouldn’t exist.

I rode in and drove one recently. It’s a neat van! But goddamn does it feel cheap at lower trims.

For the Minivan segment, Kudos to Kia for making the styling anti Minivan and more SUVish. Kudos to Chrysler for making a Plug-In. Kudos to Toyota for making a Hybird standard. Kudos to both Toyota and Chrysler for offering AWD. I’d really enjoyed seeing the 4-row Grand Carnival make it stateside.

I think the problem is not the cars themselves, but their associated fandoms.
Point out any of the actual problems that any of these cars on this list had to them, and prepare to give blood. Each of them are good cars, certainly peaks in the history of the automobile, but to hear each group of enthusiasts tell it, it’s…

Regarding the muscle cars, I wonder how many of these boomers actually owned one as primary transportation, and how many were still too young and are just speaking from a place of childhood nostalgia. My dad is 68, and he had both a 70 Chevelle and a 70 Nova in his 20s. Prime age to appreciate those vehicles. He still…

Old boomers hold them to a level that makes them seem like they’re street legal top fuel dragsters, and they are absolutely not. A big 400+ cubic inch V8 that makes an advertised 350+ horsepower until you realize that was measured without and accessories or even a transmission hooked up. Then add a 3 speed auto or 4…
