Stop deriding them, yes. Stop prefering the transmission that (subjectively) provides more fun? No.

because most of the Gawker staff are located in either NYC or SoCal, and why would anyone want to live anywhere else?

Toyota clearly didn’t plan for that.

Neutral: How Does The Prius Succeed?

A 182,000 mile mechanical nightmare with backwards engineering for new car money?

I forgot what the price was while reading all the details and I thought “this car isn’t that spectacular”

then I saw the 20k price tage and threw my computer into the sun. 4 rings? more like four words - fuck that crack pipe

$19k for a sixteen year-old S Class is also CP.

Twenty grand? Ha, you seem nice. I’ll give you $6K for it.

I predict a lot of responses from people who don’t tow often or are only talking about tiny loads. Anyone who has towed anything heavy with regularity will tell you that any vehicle can pull a load. It’s stopping that load that is key, followed closely by handling the load at speed.

Yeah, I gathered nothing from the 4th gear as to how or even if they solved the issue.

By all means I certainly wish a long and trouble-free future from your vehicle - but you cannot judge a vehicle’s long-term reliability on its first 15,000 miles.

I would argue back that the “Greatest Generation” didn’t fuck the economy. The baby boomers did. I can’t help but notice that everything took a royal nose dive soon after the first boomers became adults.

This just in: Cars are expensive! Maybe if the “Greatest Generation” hadn’t fucked the economy for everyone, young people could afford cars the same way our ancestor’s did.

“The automobile just isn’t that important to people’s lives anymore,”

My one minute hot take on this

Since no one under 40 reads the newspaper, zero fucks given.

Lots and lots of people. Like a surprisingly large amount of people.

EV owners who complain they can’t go on road trips.

People who drive giant SUVs and bitch about their poor gas mileage. What the hell did you expect?
