Much of what makes a care reliable or not has a lot to do with the types of people who buy them. Cheap “disposable” cars tend to be purchased by those who couldn’t give a damn about maintenance, often driving them into the ground and then complaining the car was a POS. I’ve owned a few of those “disposable” cars over…

I can’t tell if the kids on boards are all going  to check on Captain Fucknuts over there, or to give him the endless, withering shit he deserves, and that only teenagers can dish out. 

The difference in the cost of living definitely helps. 

No, they still need to add in refueling and passing without DRS, then they’ll be there.

This EV won’t work for me because the commute to my job is 20 miles each way and once I get there they don’t give me enough money to buy this car.

Hot take and totally right. Cadillac is doing it right by focusing on freeways, where you have a carefully controlled, predictable, well-marked, limited-access environment, and the benefit is high due to driver fatigue.

If they have them in the armrest, how can they get you to spend money on this?

I bike a lot but I’ve never done that on my full size. I have a hard folding tonneau so I mounted a fork mount at the front by the glass and use 1 strap to lock down the back wheel to the stake pocket. My method is unorthodox but it works well and allows me to keep the bed dry if its raining. If its just me I just lay…

That’s fine, but I don’t think it was actually Hyundai’s intent to say “look how inadequate our bed is!”

This is the main problem with the Santa Cruz as well as the Maverick, and this is coming from a guy who still owns and loves his Baja. The bed sucks, it doesn’t offer any benefit over an SUV trunk other than keeping your load away from the passenger compartment which is good if it smells I guess, but bad if it rains…

I still don’t understand how not being able to fit a mountain bike into the bed is a selling point you’d want to advertise.  It seems like this type of sporty form factor would be directly marketed to that outdoorsy type segment that would be hauling a bike around.

I'm sure it's in the works. This thing is already fast as it is. All they have to do is slap on bigger motors, add a button for "Zeus mode", lower it a bit and call it something catchy. 

You want a sport truck look? Remove the front hood, and drive around so you can see the ground right in front of the truck. Now that will be cool.

Dude, it knocks out 0-60 in less than 4½ seconds.

This is something I was thinking as I was scrolling through the article. When I think of F150 lightning, I think “tuner” truck.

Yo, Ken, I’m really happy for you, and Imma let you finish, but I just got to say that Colin McRae is the most famous Subaru driver of all time.

This is, in short, modern Cadillac, playing catch up to a rival that is years ahead of it

WHY IS THE GRILLE SO FUCKING HUGE?
