You are correct. Eyes saw “Acadia”, Brain thought “Acadia”, Fingers typed “Terrain”

Brown ~2022 GMC Terrain. Low trim level with minimal chrome, emergency lights tucked up against the headliner so they don’t change the silhouette. I see that car parked in the same spot a few times a month doing speed traps.

1st - My employer had me to look for a new work truck to replace our old flatbed two years ago. I wanted to compare Hino and Izusu options, but I found out that due to an emission scandal, there were no Hinos available and Isuzu had a huge backlog of orders because they were the only manufacturer able to sell…

This week I have received over half a dozen calls on my work phone from an AI powered call center looking to update our company info for a trade magazine.

A friend of the family worked for the company that supplied magnesium instrument cluster supports for the eighth or ninth generation Chevrolet Impala. He gave a defective unit to my dad, who would then cut chunks off it and throw them in the bonfire. If the bonfire got hot enough the magnesium would eventually catch…

Not to mention magnesium burns white hot

A $4500 upcharge to avoid a notoriously problematic manual transmission (clutch) is ludicrous.

Is anyone going to mention how G/O Media has sold Jalopnik to the new owners of The Takeout?

If it’s an autonomous taxi for $30000 with FSD, that should mean they can make a human driven commuter EV without FSD for $22000. That’s the only Tesla I would be potentially interested in.

It was probably more the wind resistance than the engine RPM that was causing the increased fuel consumption. I just find the 3000RPM cruise at 120km/h to be irritating because of the increase noise and vibration from the engine.

I’d like to get a used current gen Tacoma 4X4/6MT once the CX-5 is done. I’m grateful at least one manufacturer still offers a stick in trucks.

It could certainly use more power, especially lugging around another 491 lbs and punching a bigger hole through the air. But I was dead set on having a manual and it still has enough power to merge onto highways safely.

Sure enough, I’m a Canadian and bought a base model 2017 Mazda CX-5 2.0L/6MT last summer.

I had a 2014 Mazda3 2.0L/6MT and traded it in on a 2017 CX-5 2.0L/6MT last summer for a bit more space in preparation of our first child. Only burns 7% more gas.

Mazda Canada offered the CX-5 with a 155hp 2.0L, FWD and 6MT up until 2018 (US availability ended in 2016 with the first generation), likely because it let them advertise a lower starting price and lower fuel consumption.

Title of the video is “we almost died...”

That’s odd, up in Canada it’s reversed. The Versa is CVT only while the larger Sentra offers a manual on the base S trim.

Agreed, I’d prefer the Tacoma with a manual, but the Frontier doesn’t look too bad

I agree, with the exception of the Sentra, but at least it still offers a manual.
