I don’t know what an “updated break kit” is, but it sounds problematic, and undesirable.

Yeah. And I hope not. I am not pleased that I never got a response from the staff though.. I guess I will have to post the comment/question again on another article!
I know, right?! I cannot even begin to fathom what on Earth would possess someone to think this is better than the way it was.
Patrick. I have a question. Do you hate us? Why are you constantly implementing downgrades to the layout? It’s bad enough when you Kinja, or Gawker, or whoever is to blame forces a total redesign down our throats, but this constant sprinkling in of minor changes is possibly even more infuriating.
Alright. I own a 1972 BMW 2002. It weighs less than 2100 pounds, and has an unassisted, manual steering rack, so trust me when I say I know what a balanced chassis with excellent steering sensation feels like. I also happen to own a couple of Audis, so I’m not just talking out of my ass here. I have driven dozens of…
Hahahaha. Yes, actually. Have you ever driven them in real life? It’s a bit different. Life is not a video game. I was referring to real physics; not EA’s computer-simulated physics.
I am actually a big fan of both. I feel that they are too often compared as competition. They are only competitors to the uninitiated. The commuters. The people looking for a transportation appliance, who also happen to care about the image they project. To us enthusiasts, though, they are totally different animals.…
You misunderstand (again). I don’t find anything particularly humorous about the Fords themselves. I laugh at the fucking idiots that can’t see a good, unique design (like that of the new corporate Ford grill) without associating it with a completely different design that it really is not all that similar to. Have any…
I don’t understand. The article clearly states that it is specific to German cars, not just BMW. There are literally more Audis visible in that photo than there are BMWs.
No. He knows this is stock. He’s saying it looks NOTHING like an Aston Martin grill. not even the same geometric shape (count the sides and vertices). It is maddening that soo many people make this connection. Laughable, really.
“Neither my two friends or I had ever driven a classic Lada before, but we corrected that mistake by spending long hours behind the wheel of Jalopnik’s almost bone stock 1982 Lada 1200S to tell you what’s it like to hit the road with Russia’s finest vehicle, 44 years after its public debut.”
Matt. I am definitely interested in purchasing this book; however, in the comments of the post that featured the initial announcement of the book, someone asked if you guys would be doing a hard cover version. You did not say no. I would be far more interested in having a hard cover version, personally, so I do not…
Lets be honest: ‘Car And Driver’ is a driver’s media outlet. You seem to be a fan of AMG, which has never, once, even pretended to care about the driving feel that makes a BMW 2002, or an air-cooled Porsche, truly special and superior. They are like the German equivalent of Chevrolet; “Hmm. We don’t seem to have the…
And because something is a certain way, it can’t possibly, ever, be anything different.
Matt, I’m surprised you are in support of this model bloat. Personally, I absolutely cannot stand how ridiculously big the 4-Series and the A5 are.
So jealous. I live in the Buffalo, NY area, and I don’t think I see that many in a year! And the non-M, coupe body style is one of my all-time favorite automotive designs
My very most favorite vehicles of all time is the McLaren F1.
Thank you for being the only person who answered this question competently. Soo much ignorance has been spewed above...
Really? As a mechanical engineer, who is utterly infatuated with internal combustion engines, I don’t see myself ever desiring to own a Tesla, but if I’m honest, I’ve always thought that a particularly shitty part of electric vehicle ownership would be plugging it in and unplugging it every single time get home, or…
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…
