My grandpa worked in construction for 45 years until he retired and started driving a big rig.

I’d love to think that, but I’ve seen a lot of pro-Trump/anti-regulation/etc., stuff. Unfortunately that comes with the car hobby, even on a site with as clear a slant as this one.

People go to Fox News, Breitbart and Facebook for info on this stuff too.

Because of his cult like followers & the refusal of many in the media to call a spade a spade. People don’t want to get gamer-gated by his army of incels.

Some folks do not know about journals. Jalopnik’s reach can spread good info.

The rear end is way too heavy. The C7 was ugly but this thing takes the cake. Just an awful piece of design.

Asking for something to be made doesn’t require you like an awful result.

Modified S2000 and Fit daily driver here. I don't view them as opposites though. Both are more fun than their competition, more reliable and have great manual transmissions. 

You're completely and totally wrong. These are the first good OEM wheels in ages.

You went from Michigan to DC to work on a Mini?

What you’re saying is confirmation of how broken the system we live within is. Not sure why you’re angry that Brad is pointing that out.

But hey, keep clicking the articles you hate it helps keep Jalopnik’s bloggers employed.

I can’t believe y’all are coming at Brad (Bradley?) for pointing out how sad that statement is. Like he said, you don’t wind up working 13 hours with no benefits in a 15 year old economy truck because things are great and just.

I live in the rust belt and have this to offer:

My parents bought a Fit Sport while I was in college. We took a family trip to visit my Grandpa, 1200 miles each way in that Fit.

Those....aren't good.

Thats not a normal family. That's a gang of chuds on a road trip to Branson.

This is such a stupid post.

The CX9 is too small for most families? Growing up my parents drove a Ford Escort wagon.

“Beautiful” lol

Most Americans have no idea what their cars are capable of. I'd be staggered if more than 15% of people over 25 have floored their gas pedal in the last year.
