Compare the current C-Class to a previous generation C-Class. Do the same for the 3.

I give tremendous amounts of credit to Tesla and Fisker for daring to be different. Start-ups can afford to be more innovative, but eventually all companies must conform to industry best practices. The design and engineering of Tesla and Fisker cars will likely be more tame in future generations of their cars.

Understand that most established automakers are essentially risk management professionals. The same can be said about record labels. With only a few exceptions, automakers make safe choices and tend not to rock the boat. Designs that vary too greatly from a brand's current image are often seen as a threat. We've seen…

The correlation is quite clear, Jalopnik is an automotive blog. Detroit is the motor city. This is a "Detroit-sytle" pizza review from a low-end national chain, which also has Detroit affiliations.

The Equus is the nicest Hyundai that money can buy, however it isn't a Mercedes-Benz S-Class and for many that's not a bad thing. However, a direct comparison isn't really fair. I wouldn't compare a high-end Hyundai to a Mercedes-Benz S, anymore than I'd compare a high-end Mercedes-Benz S to a Rolls Royce.

Any W123 will do. Even a previous gen /8 body would suffice.

Of course most, if not all replicas built from the chassis of a standard production car fail at authenticity, accuracy, scale and just about every other factor that makes the original precious. However, I appreciate the attempt of the Civic BMW. It isn't perfect, no replica is, but it is close enough to have most…

Honda is still struggling with gaining acceptance for their pickup product. The Ridgeline started strong, received strong endorsement "2006 Motor Trend Truck of the Year" and even solved problems that other manufacturers ignored. The result? Lackluster sales that have continued to decline year after year. The…

The foreign market Ranger seems like a stronger contender to the Tacoma or Frontier than the previous gen Ranger. There seems to be a hole in the market now that the Ranger is gone.

That fist pump could be interpreted in many ways. As Patrick believes, it could be an acknowledgement of the mockery from the balcony above. However, the driver could be from New Jersey, or could be listening to Metallica, or could have been exclaiming a visual FTW.

There's always wiggle room built into the price. I'd cut the ask in half and then go up about 40% if needed. At that price is is NP all day long. At the ask, it is a dirty CP.

Patrick George is the new Chris Hanson!

To Catch a Con Artist

I love the new Honda Camaro! Err, sorry Chevy Prelude. Wait, I'm confused.

I am impressed with the progress that GM has made to defibrillate the Cadillac brand. As a borderline Gen X/Yer, I have always seen Caddies as a proper hauler of retirees. To me Cadillac was synonymous with Metamucil and Depends, moreso than luxury, performance or prestige.

I think this car could have been great, however there are a few fatal flaws that prevented Vector's success.

The PT Cruiser was a solid concept, however like the Prowler it was a lackluster execution.

How did the Nissan Juke not make the list?

While I'm not a perfect grammarian, I did notice that you had added an apostrophe to Reliants in the following sentence. "The retired Cloughton's hopping mad about the whole incident, having driven Reliant's". I believe it should simply be written as Reliants.

Like many older cars, there is no such thing as a cheap Ferrari. This Mondial has a split personality. To those who are knowledgeable about the Ferrari lineage, you're merely a pledge of the Ferrari Fraternity. The less knowing, will equate the horsey badge to adjectives like, fast and prestigious. You'll be a…

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the Nissan Juke.
