I appreciate your sentiments. A Type R is a fantastic ICE car as is a Miata or a Cayman. But an EV performance car must have its own EV driving engagement qualities. I love my Model 3 with its Mountain Pass Performance suspension upgrade. I read wonderful things about the Taycan and the Hyundai N. If Porsche can do…

Obviously Tesla has figured out how to run the business without Elon around. It probably runs a lot more smoothly when he’s not around “disrupting” the company’s everyday functions.

These insurance and product liability issues might explain why Musk is all in for a Trump Republican administration. He may figure that a Trump, grateful or wanting to be on the side of the richest man in the world, is more likely than a Democratic administration to go easy on the regulatory aspect of the Robotaxis…

I’m partial to Hondas. I love the original Accord hatch. My brother received a 3rd gen Accord hatch from Dad for his first car, and I was blown away over how much better it was, in every way, than the ‘82 Prelude I’d been gifted four years prior. I think the 1oth gen sedan is one of the best looking sedans, including…

That 4th gen hatch, with all the glass, is one of my favorite hatches ever. I had one for miles 250K to 300K. The interior deteriorated but the engine wouldn’t quit, crossing the Great Salt Flats on I-8o, pedal to the metal the whole time, it maintained the 80MPH speed limit without overheating a degree! I’d love to…

This comment thread is getting awfully loud!!!

I think you mean, an asset, which art such as Pollocks and Picassos have also become. There is a logic, but not an automotive one, or an aesthetic one, really, but a financial one.

Of course, readers of Jalopnik confuse Tesla the company and TSLA the stock. Tesla is obviously a popular car and a profitable company but that doesn’t mean it can support the current market valuation over time. Pushing $200 a share, Tesla is a sell. It might be a buy at $100. Can money be made on TSLA? Sure it can.…

Auto pilot is garbage. Once you learn where stuff is, it doesn’t take much time to find it. Some important stuff can be brought right up to the surface through customization, once you figure it out. My Model 3 is the most amazing daily I could imagine for the money, and I’m definitely not a fan boy.

Interesting. All they need to make it useful is some kind of golf cart bus trailers or something like that so that one driver can take a few dozen people or more.

I have always loved the 1st gen Valiant/Lancer and the early Comet; hipsters pay top dollar for nice ones!

I like every car mentioned on this list, and I wouldn’t trade my Model 3 Dual Motor for any of them. Upgrade the suspension (I used Mountain Pass Performance’s Comfort Adjustable set up) and lower an inch and it’s fantastic for so many situations and that inch makes more difference in appearance than I would have…

Since I was a kid checking out and rating the rides in the parking lot of the beach with my friends in the summer, I’ve loved these babies. Brown was the most popular color among the monied owners of these on the eastern end of Long Island in the mid 70s, but that green and the dark red were great too. The hot rodish s…

In Eugene, Oregon, it’s definitely an Outback. New buyers of means are transitioning to Tesla Ys. Probably buyers of means who previously might have bought Imprezas are picking up Tesla 3s.

A girlfriend, later to become my wife, gave me her old ‘91 Civic hatch with 250,000 miles because she didn’t want to maintain or insure it any longer. I had a few minor mechanicals and electricals cleaned up and it was good for another few years. I loved driving it. The test was across I-80 in western Utah, the salt…

The 8th gen. fwd ‘67-’70 stands alone as truly special, though the earlier generations are classic. By ‘72, we’re just not talking very special, in my opinion.

When my brother was given a new 3rd gen. hatch by my father I was jealous (He gave me an ‘82 Prelude). I couldn’t believe how fantastic it drove and looked for a basic car! I still think it looks great. The first time I saw a 4th gen. sedan in my rear view mirror, got a look at those fender flairs, I didn’t know what…

Thank you! Absolutely right! The original accord was one the best cars for the money in automotive history. In 1983, I had the pleasure of driving a sedan around Houston for a couple days. I wish I’d had the prescience to get a hatchback for my first car; my Dad got me a new 1982 Prelude ‘cause he thought it looked…

The front end looks awesome, the rest of the design looks unresolved. Actually the tail is kind cool.
