not in on the truck either. Here’s a nightmare-you are traveling in the mountains on a 2 lane narrow road and this thing is in front of you. Can’t see around it and those might 115 horses are chugging up the grade carrying double the weight of the original truck. You be hoping to get stuck behind a VW microbus before…

I feel like you’d have to Typhoon it just to get it to hit 55.  115 hp isn’t a lot to move that much...beige.

I can smell that thing from here.

To be fair, I’m sort of trolling you all today. This was just too good not to share.

When the words ‘replica’ and ‘roller’ get used in the description, it will never be worth 5 figures. This is barely worth 4 figures. Just donate it to a some mechanic program or engineering university so the students can turn it into something cool. 

These are the ridiculous games that manufacturers play to get you to upgrade your package. But it’s been much worse in the past. I remember when you had to pick the top-of-the-line model if you wanted navigation in your car. Nowadays Android Auto/Apple Carplay comes standard even in some of the most poverty-spec…

“$53,595 for the Base trim, $57,745 for the Premium package. The latter adds full leather seats, more speakers and wireless phone charging.”

After accounting for inflation, here’s what the following popular hot hatches would cost in 2022:

If you think 36k is expensive just wait for the delicious dealer markups. I’m guessing the base is gonna be around 45k and the top trim will probably cut around 60k.

I’ll pay the same $5850 the seller paid for it.

Consider me triggered ...

A bit of old Jalopnik peeking through:

You mean the dealers themselves?

This is a fun one as I used to own a 2005 LGT. Focus RS ride is punishing and Recaros are tiiight (talked to a few people that regretted their purchase). Had them in a Fiesta ST and they got tiring on long drives

The seller is methed out of his mind. 

I think the Mini Clubman should also be included.  Are two swing doors the same thing as a hatchback?  No.  Whatever, it’s cool.

“Hatchback”

Jalopnik: “We’re not including any fastbacks”

1. Acura Integra

Before you ask, no the Audi A5 Sportback, Polestar 2 and Kia Stinger do not count as hatchbacks. They’re fastbacks. It’s different.
