I like it, but without the manual option, I’m not interested.

So, in other words, you intend to use them if you have to.

The problem is that wages have been stagnant for the lower/middle classes for decades, so vehicles have gotten prohibitively expensive even though their prices may fall inline with inflation.

I’m excited to see what the Bronco brings to the table. For me, it is more appealing than the Wrangler because it has an independent front suspension and a turbo 4 that you can actually get with a manual transmission. The driving factor is going to be price, of course. If this thing is priced as stupidly as the JL is,…

If I recall, there was nothing proactive about Ford’s bailout. They were just in dire straits before shit hit the fan.

On the east coast, it has gotten to an $.80 disparity between premium and regular. That’s an extra $12 per tank assuming a typical fill-up of 15 gallons. With every daily driver I’ve owned, I tend to fill up once a week, which puts me at an extra $624 per year.
If I had a Ranger as my only vehicle, I’d probably go for…

Did anyone really think that dealers were going to order a bunch of base Corvettes?

My dad’s 64 Impala was a complete rust bucket. We spent about 5 years on it.

You need to get off your high horse and stop pointing fingers at the deceived instead of the ones knowingly performing the trickery.

The Gladiator suffers from the same ailment as the JK Wrangler: it is overpriced and every dealer has a better vehicle on their lot for the same money. At the $40,000+ sticker that these things list for, you can pick up a Ram that has much nicer interior appointments, V8 engine options, a larger bed, superior truck…

That was my main issue with the Frontier when I was looking.  I just couldn’t justify spending new truck money on something that was 15 years old.  Had Nissan done what FCA has done with the Charger/Challenger and continuously updated the truck while retaining the same platform, it would be a different story. 

Rotary engines suck, anyways.

Here’s the thing about 15" wheels: tire selection absolutely blows. Anything wider than a 225 and you’re stuck with drag slicks and 40 year-old radial designs. Step up to 17s, and your choices grow exponentially.

Neutral: I test drove an SRT-8 Challenger when they first came out. When I came upon an open stretch of road, I floored it. When I let off, the pedal had wedged itself into the rubber grips of the floor mat that the dealer had flipped upside down, causing the pedal to stay pegged. So, I guess that counts as an…

No, the LS1 debuted in 1997. While I don’t agree that the LS belongs on this list due to every iteration of it having been developed in the 90s/00s, I do think that the LT deserves to be on the list for taking the LS architecture to the next level while remaining true to tradition.

New cars’ abilities are certainly at an all-time high, but so is the average age of vehicles on the road. And as we all know, vehicles require maintenance over time, and your average person isn’t always diligent in keeping up with maintenance.

The US has chip and PIN. My corporate card requires it.

It’s a comfortable vehicle that looks and sounds good going down the road. It is the only one of the Big 3 to have a mid-level V8 option (5.7) that doesn’t break the bank while still delivering decent power. Unlike Nissan, the car has been thoroughly updated over the years, so it never feels old. For those who want an…

The SUV craze will end once everyone who overpaid on 84+ month loans finds out that the banks won’t let them roll over $30k+ worth of negative equity into a new 84+ month loan.

The IRS is cool, but god damn, can we get a design that isn’t larger than the predecessor and isn’t vomit-inducing?
