Honestly Jason... let’s really go all the way here. I know you want to. Why aren’t we riveting exterior panels like they do on campers and boats?!? ALL the effort involved to hide fasteners like this... it’s a waste. How vain ARE we. I know you mentioned exposed hinges and stuff... but that’s the tip of the iceberg.…

An old Ford F-250 that never had good brakes to begin with, doubtfully well maintained, with three “functioning” brakes (assuming the vise grips were properly closing off the brake line)... what could go wr... oh right. Well aside from careening off the road and flipping and killing people, what could go wrong???

Merkur XR4Ti, the cousin to the SVO had the same speedo effect for the first couple years:

Don’t forget this one... teal with teal inserts!

I had a 1980 Ford Fiesta that didn’t have a passenger-side mirror.

Love it!

Dude... I agree. I purposefully ran OVER a Tesla supercharger and sent Jalopnik the photos of the damage that thing did to my Audi. Did they write a piece on THAT? The dangers of running over Tesla Charging Stations? Nope. They didn’t even have the courtesy of contacting me back over it. They ONLY care when it happens…

Reviews of what... they aren’t very good at car reviews.

Hi Tire Rack? I need a tire for my GT90.

If you see the User Experience of how this thing works, it’s a fucking JOKE. I LOVE Sony... and I’ve owned some of the best Sony Mobile Audio systems they’ve ever done, including the ridiculous Sony Mobile ES. I design apps for a living and the app that’s required to use this thing looks like it’s hasn’t seen a…

I’ve done the same thing for the few periods of my life where I couldn’t afford the insurance. At the same time, I’m a pretty conscientious driver to begin with and follow the rules of the road. Many of the drivers that drive horribly around me are in the kind of car that probably has 100 things wrong with it, some of…

“not any MORE special than a Phaeton?” What makes a car special to you Mercedes... shiny things? Are you REALLY an automotive reporter? It’s comments like that that make me want to give up on this website forever. I own a modern Mercedes (that I love), an Audi S8 (that I love), and a 2006 W12 Phaeton. The Phaeton has…

Anyone wanna mention the (probably) broken windshield wipers? I can positively guarantee that this car, unlike say a Koenigsegg One:1, does not park the windshield wipers in a vertical position. Automotive journalism is in the details folks.

I think additionally we should add (and I know they’ve made “changes” to their app) that the fact that a $4,000 purchase can be made without explicit verification that I wanted to make that purchase, when I can’t purchase a $0.99 app from Apple without biometrics ensuring that it’s me and a double click of a button to…

It’s obvious that you don’t. What’s not obvious is why you’re telling us that. Are you implying that only stupid people butt dial? I choose not to use auto-off on my iPhone... I use the sleep button. Guess what? Sometimes it doesn’t work and I don’t NOTICE it doesn’t work. Technically it’s Apple’s fault, as a laggy…

That’s unacceptable to be saddling a NEWBORN GIRAFFE with a correlation like that after it’s been on the planet for what... 10 minutes? Can’t you just make the comparison with something more appropriate that we hate? Like a Yugo?
Legal Disclaimer: No implication was made one way or the other about which is a better car…

Wheels are the easiest thing to change. Otherwise the front end of this looks about 1000x better than the BMW. BMW is counting on the BMW badge to overcome the deficiencies... which is what happened with the 318ti. I’d get the Golf.

Ok... not that I disagree with your general thought about the cost of medicine in America... but it IS worth noting that there are a lot of factors in a general emergent condition that accelerate cost. Regardless of the final number, idiots all over America that think that just because they *want* reality to be…

I never understood why speed limits were set based on population density of where the freeway ran through. I’m sure there’s often a correlation between population density and traffic density, but based on where the speed limit changes on Metro Detroit freeways from 70 to 55, I’ve never seen traffic density change.…

God the door mechanism is stupid to the point of disappointment. You have to awkwardly keep holding the door handle as THOUGH you were pulling it open for the door opening motor to engage. DON’T pull too hard or you’re opening it with your own force you peasant fool! And let go and it stops. How does Rolls Royce say…
