But the CR-V adds durability and storage

“I would have compared it to the mirror on my cruiser but it’s missing for some reason...”

This very blue:

One of the neighborhood kids dad got an 84 Vette when they came out. Blue, crazy, unlike anything any of us had ever seen.

Current theory is that the Corolla will get the driveline from the Yaris GR4 to help justify the cost of development.

I’m all for a 270hp, AWD Corolla.

Bring back bubble era Toyota

While I would agree that the dealer system is flawed and ridiculous.

I can heel and toe fine, though at 10/10ths I’m far more clumsy at it then at 5/10ths.  That said, I cannot for the life of me left foot brake. It would takes months or years to get my left foot to the same place as my right one in terms of sensitivity and dexterity.  Maybe I should start practicing....  

You absolutely should pick on Mike for this. Just because it’s common doesn’t mean that it’s right. He picked the title, he knew exactly what he was doing and excusing it only encourages more of the same.

This is part of why I wish Forbes lists and the like didn’t exist.

Another day, another “percentage of net worth” article about the ultra wealthy (not picking on Mike, it’s common across the mass media).

You’re not wrong. But those things don’t sell cars (and by “cars” I mean crossovers). Shiny, fancy whiz-bang gadgets sell cars. If you don’t have those things and the other guys do, people that don’t care about driving dynamics (i.e., people that don’t read Jalopnik) will be buying their cars, not yours.

If GM management could actually find anyone as sensible and knowledgeable as you in their product development ranks I’m sure they’d be fired within the week.

You know what I don’t need? Screens that stretch from pillar to pillar. There are a limited number of things I need to know while I’m driving. Speed, maybe the remaining range, and then the info about what song is playing, or what playlist I’m on.

I don’t get why logos are “due for updates” anyway. Unless there’s a fundamental shift in the business that muddles the logo’s message or they used some very period-specific styling in the first place, there’s no need to change something that currently works. It only makes sense when there’s a functional issue to be…

We still do driving embargoes, but that’s based on different reasoning. With informational embargoes, everything is timed to maximize the marketing effort, which is pretty contrary to what we do. When it comes to a press drive, the purpose of the embargo is to give everyone a chance to try the vehicle. With a…

Or my Peugeot 405.

Ballaban regarding Koennigsegg: ‘We don’t agree to press embargoes in exchange for earlier access’

Jalopnik is one of the very few outlets that does not agree to informational embargoes. That means that other outlets sign extensive non-disclosure agreements, agreeing to sit on information for days, weeks, sometimes months in advance, and not say a peep about it until a manufacturer’s marketing team says they can.…

White steelies just look bad ass.
