If the goal is to differentiate from Subaru, that seems counter-productive.

God yes, the Vietnam motorbike special was one of the best.

Lowering the budgets of the Grand Tour would make the show watchable again. Some of those specials just seemed like they asked Amazon for “all the money” and were left to create something expensive.

This gen of 4Runner was heavy and buggy. MAYBE if you were stripping everything out of the body and swapping a new drivetrain? But in that case it isn’t just “too much”, it’s “WAY too much”

Exactly. The center console makes this useless, wasted space actually practical and makes it feel like you’re in a car, not on a side-by-side bike.

Its my experience that cars with an open floor plan, so to speak, kind suck because you can’t use the space. What’s the point of putting feet down there if there is no center seat (that’s a whole other thing) and anything you put down there for storage is just asking to slide all over the place and cause issues. To…

Relatively thirsty cars for size and CVT's.

Could you please keep these opinions to yourself for at least another 2-3 years? I should have garage space available by then to own a 996/986 Porsche, and I feel that the fried-egg sentiment is one opinion that is helping keep those prices at least semi-sane for the time being.

That more or less sums up much of the reviews I’ve read on the Scout. The Scout does pretty much everything better than the Sportster, but it’s not quite a Harley. Reminds me of the McLaren MP4-12C vs Ferrari 458 Italia debates from years back.

I work in IT this is typical. IT will submit a request to move to a new software because license is expiring or end of life. accounting wont approve and then the day finally comes when that software is gone and NOW we get yelled at for “letting” this happen

Ford definitely lacking Focus if this is true.

But there’s literally infinite other names they could use for these vehicles. Mustang Mach-E? Why not Maverick? Or maybe even use Model E, which they successfully pried away from Tesla?

Plus, remember that if they want a quick SUV it’s GM, they have a ton of performance names in their history, they could make it a GMC Typhoon or Syclone, a Buick Grand National, a Buick Wildcat. Hell even their product codes are sometimes legendary, a Chevrolet IROC-E might be a bit tricky given that IROC refers to…

Cayenne gets a pass because they didn’t name it a 911; which is what making a Chevrolet Corvette SUV would be.

Urus gets a pass because Lamborghini had the legendary LM002; plus they started as a tractor company.

They should make an SUV that looks inspired by the Corvette, but why not just name it its own thing; the…

The Jalopnik game was shelved for 2 reasons:

Allow me an analogy: You walk into a Quiznos and see a guy leave half of a perfectly good Italian sandwich just... sitting there. There’s nothing wrong with it. The sandwich was clearly cut in half, and aside from being a little rough from the unwrapping process, that’s half of a good sandwich. It even still has the…

It’s aged better than Clarkson.

They should keep it how it is, and be complimented on being honest about what it is.

you realize those things exist so other people can see your car at night, right? You realize other people exist in this world, right?
