Well said. Also, I was at the race. The minor internet celebrity did one of my favorite renditions of the anthem I have ever heard.

You do realize that literally every country since the dawn of time has had an “antagonist and violent” history, right? To say nothing of the very valid reasons behind the Revolutionary War. If you hate America so much, you are more than welcome to leave.

I live in Atlanta and drive a manual. First of all, I chose to live close to where I work (not that hard to do, really), so I don’t sit in traffic jams. But even when I do join the slow crawl on the connector or Perimeter, it really isn’t that hard to keep it in first or second, leave a bit of a gap in front, and…

It will be a hit. It’s big, fat, stupid and irresponsible, just like all the people who will be financing it for twelve years.

Totally agree. This looks like a fake car rendering from one of those “The new 2020 sedans are out” clickbait ads. Just lots of stuck-on blingy bits with no coherence in the overall design. What’s with the very linear elements in the lights matched with an otherwise very nonlinear body?

MkVII GTI owner here. Not thrilled about this design. The rear end is good. The front is fugly. The interior, I think, looks cheaper than the one in my car. It has a very generic, “look at me, I’m techy now” vibe, like many Asian rental cars I’ve had recently. And why the huge bezels and shiny cheap looking plastic…

It’s because everyone is on their phones. Total accidents have declined because newer cars have nanny technology that is actually to some extent saving us from ourselves when it comes to crashes between vehicles. But pedestrians and cyclists are much smaller than cars and more difficult for safety systems to avoid.…

Your leather isn’t fake. The GTI is one of the few models in VW’s lineup that has real leather. At least it was for the 2016 model year, when I bought mine.

Just another example of Tesla drivers blindly surrendering their lives to technology that isn’t ready for prime time. At least this snafu didn’t result in any fatal accidents.

The thing I most hate about the illuminated star (aside from the general tackiness of it) is that it only looks “good” from straight on. At any angle, some of the light will inevitably be obscured, since the star is three-dimensional, making it look like parts of it are burned out. Infiniti actually executes this…

I used to hate the Camry, but in the midst of the ongoing crossover plague, it is at least refreshing in its sedanness. It may be a boring appliance, but at least it’s not a friggin Nissan Rogue (or even worse, a Rogue “Sport”).

I’m no fan of Uber for plenty of reasons and agree that it’s a crappy company on the whole, but the whole “underpaid driver” trope is getting old. They’re not indentured servants. If every Uber driver were honest, they’d admit that they drive with Uber because the money they get for their service is worth more to them …

Reverse: Nit-picky, I know, but a Russian in space is called a “cosmonaut,” not an “astronaut.”

“Ensure,” not “insure.” Unless Congress will be able to file a claim for damages in the event that the design is changed against its will.

Uber’s logic isn’t twisted. What’s twisted is the logic that says my realtor should be paying the closing costs on the sale of my house. It’s the same thing. Uber’s only role is to broker a transaction between buyer (passenger) and seller (driver). Why is this so hard for people to understand?

apparently Maserati Green was taken????

What you’re talking about really isn’t capitalism. The thing that makes me most sad about Uber and Lyft is that both platforms began as the purest example of capitalism we’ve seen in decades, but like the rest of the free market have lost their way. When Uber was introduced, it was viewed as a platform to enable…

I’m sorry, but the “comma splice Inception” trend on Jalopnik is getting out of hand. My brain can only follow about three lines before I lose the point entirely. A little creative license with the English language is one thing, but can you guys dial it back just a touch?

YES! It is ALWAYS a Nissan Rogue. Thank you.

My Mk7 GTI automatically turns on the headlights when the wipers sense rain. It’s a feature you can disable through the infotainment screen, but I have it on, because who wouldn’t? Agreed that all cars should do this.
