I feel it shouldn’t be considered so black-and-white. I’m an automotive enthusiast, reading Jalopnik. Of course I love the sound of a good exhaust set up! For me, it is not so much the sheer volume, because as you said, a Ford GT, or an Aston Martin V12 would never be deemed too loud by my ears; it’s more the quality…

A tastefully upgraded/modified 964 is, and has been, my reasonable “ultimate car” for a very long time now. I long for the day I can get mine.

I’ve been reading Jalopnik regularly since ~2008, and while I haven’t exactly kept a tally, I would confidently wager that the vast majority of the vehicles involved in these idiotic instances are actually Mustangs.

Wow, that’s really interesting; they honestly look at the 2000’s as a recession? From this American’s perspective, it seems like Japan achieved downright unsustainable levels of success and growth, in multiple industries (primarily automobiles and consumer electronics come to mind) throughout the 80’s and 90’s, and…

I don’t know when exactly this phrase became a thing, but I have seen it about half a dozen times since last week, and all of its application have been 100% appropriate, and comical.

I think it’s important to remember that the name of the game when chasing volume sales, is inoffensive design cues. I don’t doubt for a second that Tesla could have made a more dynamic, attractive design, but as a young, struggling company, they didn’t want to take the unnecessary risks to find out whether people…

I am happy to be the one to inform you that the Focus RS does indeed have AWD. It is a direct competitor of the WRX STI and, on paper, looks better in just about every way from what I’ve seen.

This comment was good, but in my opinion this one should have won COTD!

This seems to be a popular complaint, but I don’t really understand why.

What an outrageously twisted view of reality! Are you for real? I can’t even.. This couldn’t be further from the truth! With any high-end product you will get some people who only bought it because they have too much money, and it was expensive, but of all the manufacturers that produce a vehicle with an MSRP over…

I am envious of you for having that opportunity. I myself hope to one day take part in the European Delivery Program for a BMW or Porsche some day. While that is almost like buying directly from the manufacturer, it is actually not the closest we can get to buying directly from a manufacturer in the USA; Tesla chooses…

Forget about Cheney, I would say an even stronger indicator of the true gravity of the situation is our actual leader’s appearance. He looks completely terrified, and overwhelmed. This speaks volumes about how he handled the next several years..

Soon..

This displeases Fiat 126!

I keep seeing comments similar to this. Do people really think they chose this because it is a hood ornament?! This is Jalopnik! They are not saying hood ornaments are goofy! They have had literally dozens of posts over the years creaming their collective pants over hood ornaments! This particular ornament was…

I think people on this site know what impact absorbing bumpers are. Personally, I never had much of a problem with the accordions either, but it is acceptable to call them a styling feature in this instance, despite their function, because Porsche could have implemented a similarly functional, but more-smoothly…

I would take all of them with me, or not move.

You think so? Personally, I’ve never been able to get over the bit of weirdness that they have going on with the body lines under the windows. To me, it actually looks like they made an egregious mistake; like they sculpted the body first, and planned on giving it the big, beautiful greenhouse (glass area) of a proper…

How on Earth did this discussion about exhaust tip travesties last this long, and garner this many posts, yet as soon as you bring a legitimately fascinating revelation, about a car that most if not all Jalops care about, to the attention of all these people that allegedly care about this whole issue, no one responds…

Yup, just terrible. You should never, ever try one.
