Another day @ Jalopnik, another Tesla-bashing headline. Where do you pool your writers from? This type of repetitive bias is yawn inducing to say the least.

Writers on Jalopnik (amongst countless other online blogs) pay their writers based on the number of unique impressions their articles generate.

I walked by a Grand Wagoneer the other day. The ostentatious use of chrome around every single window made my eyes hurt. The whole thing looks like it was designed in a 4th grade art class, with a multitude of screens thrown on the dash just to up its value. If this is how they plan to go after the Escalade, they’re

Yup, my thoughts exactly. On long, straight American roads, forward controls are a must. It’s practically the first modification any Harley owner does to their bike. Not gonna happen with BMW’s fat cylinders sticking out. Comfort is everything on cruisers such as this.

How are forward foot controls (a must for US long-range cruising) going to work with those big, fat, horizontally-opposed cylinders being in the way? They won’t. 

Congrats on a beautiful truck. Suburban is the staple that runs - well - most of suburban America. We own a similar size vehicle - Ford Expedition EL. As a family with four kids, the vehicle can handle absolutely anything. We average 22mpg on the highway. Considering that I can move twice as many people (and cargo) in

NY State issues its written DMV exam in about 50+ languages. You literally don’t even need to read the highway/road signs in this country, because the DMV test will be offered to you in your native tongue.

It actually doesn’t “improve public safety”. Why should someone that crossed the border illegally, or otherwise overstayed their visa - a person who willingly breaks US federal law - be rewarded with driving privileges? An undocumented immigrant SHOULDN’T have the privilege of driving. They can’t even work legally -

Maybe I’m the only one here, but nothing this large and heavy (I’m expecting it weighing around 7,000lbs) should have the power to go from 0-60 in 3 seconds. There is neither the need for it, nor does the responsibility exist behind the wheel to understand and manage the sheer kinetic energy here.  Knowing the types

Cars (as we know it) will become leisure toys for enthusiasts. Automotive transportation is going to drastically change during this century. Yes, I do believe 95% of us will ride around in driverless, electric, fully autonomous pods such as this, and I think it’s for the better. It will be far safer, it will

No one thinks these tanks are nice to drive.  People generally don’t buy a Suburban/Expedition/Yukon XL because they want one.  They buy one because they need one.  Have you tried hauling a family with 4 children (+ their cargo) on a weekend trip?  And no, I refuse to drive a minivan.  Thanks for understanding.

Hear hear. Traveling between NYC <-> DC or NYC <-> BOS - train is king. If you try flying between these cities, you’ll spend as much time on Belt Pkwy/Van Wyck TRYING to get to the airport (and then, consequently, waiting for your delayed flight to actually take off - because it’s now #25 for departure out of JFK), as

For all its style (and price), this luxurious people mover fails in the cargo department. An Acura MDX offers almost 16cu inches of cargo volume behind third row. X7 is mere 12cu ft? I’m glad I bought the Expedition MAX last year. At $83k, it may not be a good value, but boy does it move people (and cargo) in

I’m pulling 408hp on mine, but that’s with warranty-voiding mods.

I’m still surprised more car makers don’t offer dashcam/security cam functionality. I mean, my Ford Expedition has 5 cameras. Why not integrate a function that allows me to use them for security/dashcam purpose? A simple SD card slot in the glove box would store the footage. Instead I have to shell out hundreds

Curious, is this comparing a 3 year depreciation vs new? I only ask because I lease a 2018 Expedition (just like the one pictured), and these only came out last year. If a pre-owned 2018 Expedition can be had for 38% less than a 2019 model year, then something is really off here. I think the data is actually looking

333hp for a 5,000lb vehicle is a snooze these days.  I drive a 5800-lb Expedition and just had its 400hp V6 tuned to 480hp.  It hauls.  I’d expect Audi at the same price point as my Expy to match it, being a luxury German vehicle.

Indeed. As anyone who’s ever driven to Las Vegas can attest, the drive on any of the roads leading into (and out of) the sin city is about as exciting as watching a tree grow.

I don’t think I’d ever say this but... I would welcome articles on Lada in times of this Supra coverage overload.  I’ve never seen an ugly duckling get so much press!

Please, make all this Supra talk stop. I’d like to load Jalopnik homepage one day and see no mention of Supra. That would be a lovely day.
