The 535d starts at $56,600, which isn't cheap. And now, BMW seems to have taken a page from the Porsche handbook, where a base model car will not satisfy you. This modestly equipped 535d was $66,425. If I equipped this with a few more options like how I'd want it, this would be a $77,000 car.
Even though I liked the E60 5er design, I was in a very, very small minority. Probably a minority of one. The haters, yes, haters, said that it had Dame Edna's glasses, looked surprised, and was far too overstyled. I can understand that, I just don't agree.
You were most definitely in a minority. That said, the problem with the 5-series is that the E60 drove well and looked terrible, but the current one looks amazing (the best-looking BMW short of the 6-series Gran Coupe IMO) and drives, according to most reviewers, like shit, with numb steering and a ridiculous…

Oh, also: absolutely call the airline — and yes, I do mean telephone them, not going to their Web site — to see if they have a row of seats with built-in bassinet carriers. They're common on jumbo jets, particularly on international flights, but not unheard of for domestic ones. The good news is that those seats are…
I'm assuming you've never previously flown with a baby (your baby, that is). I'd strongly suggest taking a Xanax beforehand, because the angry glares you'll be receiving when your kid won't stop crying — btw did you know that was even a thing with babies, because they have no way of clearing their ears? — will…
This Thursday is Thanksgiving. That means it's also the biggest travel weekend of the year, with 43.4 million people estimated to be leaving home for Grandma Myrtle's famous goose gizzards. How do you avoid the insanity?
Houston is starting to become ground zero for bizarre behavior, second only to perennial winner Florida. I say this as a part-time resident, mind you. The even-weirder part, if one can say that about such an incident, is that it was fucking FREEZING here yesterday (by Houston standards).
Jalopnik, make up your mind: you just posted a story two days ago that the Mondial should never make a comeback.
My interest in the 928 — and yes, I do think it's still an amazing-looking car, even 35 years after its debut — died very quickly after learning that an engine rebuild is a) necessary about every 75,000 miles and b) costs ten grand. And that was ten years ago, so the price has undoubtedly gone up.
Toupee removal? Please. Any dude who can afford a 911 Turbo can afford hair transplants.
I don't disagree that the ATS is Caddy's best effort to date to take on the 3-series, and I'd even go so far as to say it's superior to the current 3-series (though not the E90). That said, I remain highly skeptical that it will draw young professional buyers in sizable numbers, regardless of your personal…
I remember the Talon quite well, considering my little brother owned one. (Turbocharged, natch.) Two of my best friends had Eclipses of the same era. (Also turbocharged.) Honestly, there's not much difference between the two, certainly not in terms of driving characteristics. The modern equivalent would be a BRZ vs.…
"Most BMW / Lexus / Mercedes buyers buy for the badge and whatever dose of instant perceived status they get depending on the model, knowing that they'll get a well built car that drives well thrown in even if they can't appreciate it."
Okay, really? You don't think the automakers would jump on it in a heartbeat if they thought there was any niche being ignored in the marketplace? Ford and GM in particular are the masters of truck development and marketing. But hey, apparently you know better than their product managers what people are and aren't…
Okay, good point. I missed the part where the entire U-Haul was taken.
The lot's not liable. It's standard for privately owned lots to include disclaimers, printed both on entry tickets and at various locations in a lot, that they cannot be held liable for items stolen from a car (or, in this case, a trailer), and they recommend securing any belongings inside them.
Musk's comments about the truck came after he was asked whether Tesla would ever make a fleet truck for the likes of FedEx or UPS. He said that, yes, Tesla was planning to make a truck, but not a commercial one, because the market opportunity for commercial trucks is much smaller. Musk said the Tesla truck would be…
