I'm in the minority that actually liked it. It's clean and very American luxury design wise. The fold out staircase though is more over the top to me than the doors.

Really? It’s that offensively bland? Sure, it’s not out there, it doesn’t set the world on fire. No huge strides were made in its design. But if you compare it to the rest of the class (Focus, Corolla/IM, Civic, Astra in Europe, Chevy Cruz here, Sentra, Elantra, Forte, even Golf/Jetta, A3), I can’t say that any of…

This is a really great strawman article, he was referring to KD talking about loving Boston as a city. Don’t know what’s whats worse, Simmons being Simmons or Deadspin slobbering hatefully all over his nuts

No, it’s really not. I live in the Portland area, so just a few hours away from where this happened, and an old friend of my wife’s died when a tree was blown over on top of her car when essentially the same storm came through here a couple days ago. There are massive trees everywhere you go in the Northwest, and they…

if what form_d_k said about the weather is true then it was not a freak accident and the man put his own life and his daughters life in danger by driving in that weather.

If I were to go out in a hurricane & get swept away, I’d be going out in a dangerous situation. The guy didn’t ask for it nor did he deserve it, but placed himself in unnecessary, yet seemingly obvious, danger. It wasn’t just wind; it was gusts that approached hurricane intensity & pointing out the strength of the…

Sorry, but I am willing to bet many of the ghosts of those who have fallen would have been cheering that shit on the whole time. We’re all cut from the same cloth.

Might as well just walk away from the computer. There’s no convincing your interrogators you are not racist at this point.

I’m inherently racist because I don’t like a really simplified form of hip-hop (that I wasn’t even aware was considered hip-hop, since, again, I thought these were fad dances made popular by viral videos.) I am actually a huge fan of hip hop dancing; Parris Goebel is one of my favorite choreographers. But because I…

I don’t recall seeing anything in the post praising those dances over what the kids these days enjoy. In fact, based on the statement, I think its safe to say the OP would probably consider those to be stupid as well.

I applaud her attitude, but dear Lord, do I hate these specific “dances.” I just... I just don’t get them.

...Now get off my lawn.

Is that really any different than the multitude of sports cars that are sold and never taken to a race track? They just sit in traffic everyday and then on the weekends take their wife’s car on longer trips because she thinks it is more comfortable

I honestly can’t tell if you’re being genuine, or condescending to this guy.

As a rule, I never make fun of people who are truly ignorant, naive, or possess some mental illness and/or disability.

P.S., related but unrelated - a long time ago, I had this perfect Kingdom Hearts game all cooked up in my head. Of course, I…

From the sound of things, MLG evidently needed the buyout. If they truly filed for multiple rounds of debt financing, then the folks running MLG’s coffers knew the company was well and truly fucked financially.

“Buying out everyone else” would mean that they’d shut the scene down entirely. One company (and admittedly,…

I think most the ecoboost detractors are the ones who’s seen what happens to your gas bill when you use those lbs-ft...not to mention concerns about turbo life and valve fouling.

I’m a little biased since I have one, but it’s pretty striking how many cues the two share. Practically every design element of the concept is there in production.

There really are three (or more) power train options and four suspension options and a lot of reviews cite uncomfortable highway handling, so how can the buyer sort this out?

Pictures don’t tell anything. The Focus ST’s interior is inferior to the Golf R’s. The FoST is an ergonomic mess with awful plastics, uncomfortable seats and an awkward driving position.

Here in Jalopnik you all write as if we live in a theoretical world that if we listen to it will bankrupt the entire car community (minus its millionaires). Buying old German cars and make them go quick all the time will make your bank account deplete as fast as being drunk inside a Casino in Vegas. A Golf R is a bit…
