To me, it feels like they started with a Lego truck and then just decided to build a real one. Oddly blocky.

It looks fine, but these are really bothering me

This looks like a modern interpretation of the old Dodge Power Wagon. It’s not a looker, but it’s striking for sure and I can see where some of the inspiration comes from.

Best way to see leaves is not from the road- there, you’re only going to see a limited variety- you need to head into the woods to really see those colors. I’ll recommend the Canyon Neuron because that medium-travel suspension is fantastic at sucking up hits from rocks and roots buried under leaves. And if you’re in…

Bumpers? A non-dreary black interior? A gas booster? Sheesh, they may have something there.

Cool, but do they have frequently failing nylon fasteners holding the wiring harness together at the firewall and do they start to rust within minutes of purchase?

Ooof, those wheels on the LWB are ugleee. 

Car companies are pricing themselves out of business. They’re only trying to build and sell high end/high profit vehicles and ignoring the vast majority of potential customers. Is it any wonder that Hyundai and KIA have been able to take such big shares of the market? I was visiting my mom in Texas last week and…

Eurosport VR...

I was a latch-key kid of the 80s with parents going through a divorce, but even those factors don’t excuse or explain my love of GM’s plastic-clad performance variants. Grand Prix, Beretta GTU, Eurosport VR... it’s amazing that I’m a functional adult.

I’d guess based on the fact that most articles they run nowadays are more about “Screw the Police” or “Screw the Rich” than actual cars that the day is nigh...

Topgear, Autoblog and Jalopnik was my order for automotive sites every morning and evening.  That really sucks. 

Autoblog was my go to site until its redesign. That killed it for me; I might go there, but maybe not, and it was down the list of choices.

Nah, that DeLorean had the flux capacitor option and is actually only a few weeks old, relatively.

Autoblog was my go to for years and years. Then they kept changing their comment section to the point that it was unusable and I found Jalopnik.

Man, for years my normal first two sites I opened rotation was Autoblog and Jalopnik. As you mentioned, there was a strong difference in the two blog styles that complimented each other very well and left us, the readership, with a wealth of information on all the goings on in the auto world.

$4200 to wrap a vehicle that’s all flat panels. There are ZERO complex curves or body lines to follow. This is the automotive equivalent of wrapping a boxed birthday present.

$4,200 on making it look exactly the same.
