Subaru has one attractive car: the Crosstrek (both the original and new 2018 version). The Outback is OK; the Forester’s too tall; the Impreza’s just plain odd; and the Legacy was beat with the same ugly stick as the new two-door Civic Si. (I’m not including the Toyobaru BRZ here, but it’s fine.)

If you have even a rudimentary grasp of Uber’s history, you probably know the ride-hailing service as a start-up with a history of rebuffing regulations as much as it possibly can.

Let’s do some math.

I’m curious what kind of demographics Jalopnik has amassed about its readership, particularly with respect to age. I say that specifically because I’m old enough (albeit barely) to have actually driven a brand-new automatic MR2 from the era - back-to-back with a stick, no less. As is almost universally the case with…

You could just flip her over. (I’m gay, so I get to say shit like this.) Isn’t anal a major straight-guy fantasy? (Truth be told, it is much tighter up there...)

First time I’ve heard the phrase, but I’m totally stealing it.

A few notes:

Sorry, but I have to call bullshit on half of this:

"Vomit is the most disgusting of bodily fluids (to me) and I refuse to sit here and come up with a valid sentence for the purposes of illustrating the Cold Lunch unless there is a significant pay raise in my near future."

"Thus ends today's Kimye wedding coverage." Thank God. I have no idea why Jezebel has been so obsessed with this ridiculous spectacle.

That's only half the problem. The other half is when a character who normally drives a late-model car all of a sudden shows up driving a car best described as "not a total piece of shit but worth about $6K instead of the $40K we shelled out for the newer ride." Whenever this happens, it is nearly 100% GUARANTEED that…

It's this: there's a car (or any technical thing, really), there's a guy, there's a girl. Girl mentions car. Guy talks to girl like she doesn't know anything about cars. Girl plays dumb. Guy's friend shows up, girl then spouts a solid minute of technobabble about the car showing she's a Big Expert. First guy looks…

With respect, I'm afraid I have to disagree with Mr. Cammisa. The GTI example is interesting but nonetheless an aberration: it's a niche performance vehicle with arguably only one competitor (the Toyobaru), and as such it would logically have substantially more stick-shift buyers than the norm. A much more interesting…

"For Austin to be such a progressive city, its police department is constantly in trouble for violating rights and treating people unfairly."

Incredible ad ... except I was expecting a teaser for a summer blockbuster, not a high-end Italian sports sedan.

That's what I expected, too, but then the 4-series coupe turned out to be only about $3K more than a comparable 3-series. So who knows?

Actually, the 3-series is now comparable in size to what the 5-series used to be. Basically, the closest analogy to the early 3-series (pre-1990) is now the 2-series, which for the moment remains available only as a coupe. (I'm not counting the X2; that's a whole other story. Ditto the X1.)

The 2 and 4 are coupes. The four-door 4 is also a "coupe," as is the four-door 6, as is the four-door Benz CLS. (To me at least, this car makes vastly more sense than either the 3 or 5 GT, both of which just look like ugly, pointless hatchbacks. Hell, it even makes more sense than the X6!)

"Yay! Back seat passengers heads get to touch the ceiling! But my car looks cooler and for only $10k more!"

The 3-series is still BMW's bread and butter. It's remained conservatively styled — the new one is barely discernible from the last one if you're not looking at its snout — for good reason, and it was the one Bimmer that escaped the horrors of "Bangledom." However, it has clearly not escaped BMW's attention that Benz…
