What in the world? PlayerUnknown’s response is far more off putting than the clearly comedic character that streamer plays. That’s an insane over reaction to be quite honest. And trying to force your past experience on someone because you can’t take a joke....... oh wait. I’m on Kotaku. I get it now.

The normal Sport with a manual is closer to $21-23K. I suspect the Si will be under $30K, closer to $26-27K base. The Civic Hatch Sport Touring CVT is as fully loaded you can get a Civic right now. Si should start lower with less electronic gizmos and the non-hatch body.

You would spend a bit of time comparing them and then you’d go for the Volvo. Because the Volvo actually has sound deadening material in it.

Playing devils advocate I actually think he was deliberately throwing out a much higher price ceiling than Jeep expects to sell at in order to gauge public reaction. I expect the Grand Wagoneer will top out around or just below $100K for fully loaded or special editions (Jeep does a lot of those).

You seem to be focusing solely on power, which I’m not. The Veloster Turbo wishes it was half the fun to drive as a Fiesta ST. The easiest part of the entire equation here is the engine. It’s nearly everything else that matters and that Hyundai struggles to deliver (handling, fun, car to driver feedback, etc).

AWD doesn’t make a car automatically better. Often times it can induce under steer and be a problem. AWD doesn’t make the Golf R more fun for instance.

Late model Camry.

I’m not sure what to tell you other than you seem to be extremely overestimating the cultural impact of GoT. My guess is you fit in the social groups where it is extremely popular. But good grief there are more people who know what Angry Birds or Candy Crush is than anything GoT-related.

Performance wise its fine. IMO though the Focus interior is a nightmare and after riding in an RS briefly I couldn’t handle how stiff it is on a daily basis.

Hahahaha. What? More people know who Mario or Pikachu are than any GoT character you could name.

I am forever confused why on Jalopnik off-roading = rock crawling and how if a vehicle isn’t a great rock crawler its suddenly “not great” off-road. I guess its because I see going off-road as something you do in route to some other activities like camping, hiking, mountain biking, fishing, etc, etc. I have zero…

Final Takata replacement airbags are just now going to dealerships in decent supply. Many people are also like me where they had an initial replacement put in many months ago and was then told that replacement was defective too. And then had to wait several more months for the replacement to the replacement. Mine…

Interesting.... all this data showing women are far and away the primary decisions makers with car buying but you end this with “How Can Dealers Get Better About Selling To Women?” Uh... they’re clearly already doing an extremely good job. How are they going to do even better than now? Why would they even want to?…

I’m not sure a WRX or STI wagon would sell well enough in the US. I do think a Crosstrek WRX would be a massive hit.

I’ve been wondering about this a lot lately. I have now had my 2008 Mazda 6 to the dealership twice for the airbag recall. I still have to go back in for a 3rd time. Why? Because apparently the first driver-side replacement unit they put in is still faulty. The 2nd visit was to replace the first replacement. The 3rd?…

Mazda is either a) wasting money on a rotary engine that they never intend to put in a production car or b) working on the rotary with the intention of putting it in a production car. A falls into line with your comment about R&D that may never reach the light of day. What’s the benefit to Mazda, a company whose…

What? This seems like iPad glued to the dash taken to the extreme. Its literally a plastic stand coming directly from the dash....

Huge ass screen. Otherwise not really feeling the interior style. I like a clean interiors but Tesla’s, and the Model 3 seems to continue the trend, remind me a bit too much of a padded cell room.

I guess opinions are what they are and narratives are what they are. I think it looks good. The style is fitting of its purpose. I’m not sure there’s another car in the class I think looks better. Yes, that includes Mazda. The 3 has odd proportions and has the weakest styling in their lineup. I also like safe cars and…

I don’t get it. Since when did families only have kids who are still in car seats? I get its important for new parents but there’s years and years of driving your kids and them not being in a car seat.
