Saab’s namesake is locked away in Old GM’s tomb. It would take the Indiana Jones of automakers to retrieve it

Where can I get a Jalopnik sticker?

You pay more for a vehicle that’s in most instances either smaller or not that much bigger, usually is more worse on gas, is slower and worst to drive than the cars they are based on.

Ride a motorcycle.

And you will see people driving around “Therapy Cars” complete with official-looking livery they got off eBay.

“You just become a convert”

They just need a new marketing name for it so truck bros get tingles in their manhood. It’s not a Hybrid, its ‘Ford Power-Force-Eagle-I-Thrust’. Bonus points if it has a button labeled ‘Stump Pulling Mode’ for max torque everything.

If it ends up being saddled with one of Nissan’s dogshit CVTs then they shouldn’t have even bothered with this engine in the first place because the whole car is ruined at that point. Hopefully it gets a proper geared automatic transmission.

I blame the short-sighted Medieval citizens and governments because Crusades.

Thank you for posting - first thing that came to mind. I worked at one company in Milpitas where we had an employee with an RV and small car onsite. He lived far away apparently and didn’t want to drive back and forth - can’t blame him.

But I think that’s the key to Toyota’s success. You don’t have the DESIRE to own a Toyota, it just sort of happens. You decide you want to replace the old car, or decide that you can’t keep cramming your four teenagers into the back of your 4th gen Camaro, so you pick up a newspaper and open the auto section.

So to sum up, get rid of any vehicle you don’t like?! Seriously?! We should all drive around in unreliable Jeep Wranglers I guess.

Clarkson looks like a Televangelist. So, mission accomplished, I guess.

What about all those people who daily their RV?

While the kids all think they are special snowflakes, the reality is that we all pretty much turn into our parents eventually.

I facilitated an innovation workshop for Toyota back in 2014 with 50 of their executive team members. It was a great day and some great ideas came out of it. All of them died when they were sent back up to the mothership.

My fuel tank.

I work in northern Indiana where most of these are made. Employment is at an all-time low around here, to the point where most places can’t drug test and they’ll take what they can get. The RV factories pay crazy amounts of money and they pay people piece rate, and I swear some of them secretly give their employees…

My sister’s Cobalt depreciated horribly, no clue why anyone would be snatching up any of those besides the SS ones. Don’t see why VW couldn’t just hit Autotrader and Craigslist like everyone else to get their Cobalt.
