High resale value promotes a consumerist economy. I live in a small house, off-grid power, I purchase used cars exclusively and grow/hunt most of my food. The idea of leasing a car so you can get a new one every few years makes me want to throw up in my mouth a little.

Some days I’m convinced those stickers are the only thing keeping me going.

Came here for the “I came from a long line of people with vaginas” comment if only to add that everyone with a belly button can make this claim. You know...mammals and all that.

The “huge in Japan” bit was more for comic relief than anything. Generally if there’s a “fascination with a brand of car”, Japan tends to take it way too far. Like your uncle with those “that’s what she said” jokes, only he’s got it tattooed on his arm, has created a fan website for it, is surrounded by young girls he…

While I love me some wagons to an unnatural degree I must admit your comment left me scratching my head. How is it a ripoff?

It’s easier to hate a Kia/Hyundai than it is to overcome boring prejudices established over a decade ago. Every time I see a “Kia’s are garbage”-eqsue comment I immediately assume the following: voted for Trump (or didn’t vote and complains about Trump), purchases cars based on KBB value, only uses Facebook/Twitter to…

I’d be very curious what source has the Q60 Red Sport (priced at $60,990 according to Infiniti.ca) priced cheaper than a top-trim Stinger. They’re not going to match their K900 pricing as that would be branding suicide. So, yeah it’ll be cheaper than a Q60 Red Sport. By that definition alone, the Q60 should trounce it…

As an owner of the follow Kias: Rondo, Sportage, Rio and Forte I can confirm a few facts about Kia ownership and how fantastic the Stinger will be as a daily driver.

CP. Not because of the car. Not because of the price. Not even because of the camo. It’s a CP because only a Duck Dynasty™ lovin’, grip’n’grinin’, bait usin’, Monster™ chuggin’, Browning™ sportin’ hick would ever drive a camo truck into the woods to do hunting. If you need to hide your truck from what you’re hunting…

CVTs aren’t terrible. Sure, every CVT made is terrible, but conceptually the idea of a CVT is an attempt to take combustioned noise and mesh it with electric uniformness of acceleration. It just doesn’t work because the money going into CVT tech hit the illustrious benchmark of “does it work” and never strove for…

Blessed be you, father

Leave it to GM to come up with a dumb-ass name that takes a synonym for “hole” (vent) and mashed it together with another synonym (port) to make a new word that means hole-hole. Got admit, can’t think of a better nom de plume for a Buick styling element than HoleHole.

Oh I read the article. I read it just fine. What drives me nuts is when someone nit-picks one part of a post (the erroneous use of “obtained” when “was offered” would have sufficed) in an otherwise hilarious, nonsensical post. I’m not Jalopnik, FF or the state of Nevada. I’m under no obligation to achieve clerical…

Neutral: Don’t be a rich prat, instead spend some of the millions made as income on an amphitheatre. Then you, as CEO stand in the centre of the stage and weather the curses, questions and (maybe) applause of the people that made you those millions by working in your factory. I’d like to think that if someone’s…

The accent just makes it feel that scooch more official. C’est bon!

Indeed a most majestic and sage vehicle. You’re right, I will do as Baracus commands and follow my dreams! Look out Jalopnik, here I come! (Cue credit music by Walter Murphy set to a montage of the last half hour of my life.)

Confederate Motorcycles is rumoured to be ditching their name and going electric. http://lanesplitter.jalopnik.com/confederate-motorcycles-is-going-electric-and-ditching-1798762243

Watching a train mashing into anything is one of my guiltiest pleasures. It’s like automotive snuff porn. It’s like Thomas the Tank Engine meets 8mm.

Hey, if the Christians can claim exclusive ownership over the biography of an ancient Jewish hippy, I can quote Ford and post GM all day long.

So, it’s like that girl in high school who isn’t the prettiest, but is worth a romp in the hay because you know she’ll say yes? That’s fair.
