See this is why Mercedes should not have called it the GT. Now it thinks it’s a Mustang.

Yeah, and if I wanted to be a dick about it I’d say “people who judge other people solely on the things they’re interested in are small-minded, arrogant, and lazy, and nobody likes them quite as much as they think.”

Have you done a front flip in a monster truck?

“Someone likes a thing that I don’t, they must be trash.” - Actual trash.

I appreciate when Jalopnik has a streak of non-political articles. Today’s been going well, so far. Thanks for keeping the streak alive with a great article.

This seems like a weird place to judge people based on their interests.

I think we should combine masochist and Torchinsky to create a new portmanteau named “masochinsky”, which describes automotive journalists who have an affinity for fun/unreliable vehicles.

The look on Patrick George’s face knowing his Camaro crash has been knocked down a notch on the list of worst GM street car crashes at Belle Isle:

Life without parole for Mustang driver should be sufficient. Let the piece of shit rot in the darkest of holes.

Doug’s previous job was loading Honda Civics into the back of UHaul trucks.

No, that’s Audi’s “nannies” saving this drivers ass.

I came here to say that they already withdrew from the US when they decided to keep the 500 the same for the past decade while building an ugly larger version of the car that they sell about 12 of annually (500L) and a crossover that they sell about 35 of annually (500x).

I’m still at a loss as to why FCA hasn’t handed the Giulia platform over to Dodge, so they can throw a 60s/70s jaw line on it and stuff it full of engine. Sergio bet the farm on a platform currently only used for cars with limited US market appeal, and should be mindful of ways to actually make it pay. I have to

“(It would be a shame if Fiat withdrew from the U.S., though, especially after it just came back here in 2011 after a 27-year absence. Plus, we’d miss the 500 Abarth.)“

I wouldn’t touch this pile of penetrating rust with a 20 ft. pole! Who knows which important body parts are secretly compromised... not to mention the reduced structural integrity, in the event of an accident!

So, who wants to lay odds on the amount of time before someone hacks* the DMV and changes every license plate in the state of California to “PENIS”?

Remember when Ford let the Taurus die on the vine while focusing on SUV and truck sales? Then as soon as the new Fusion came out which effectively replaced the old Taurus in the mid-sized segment, sales of the Fusion did very well.

The Ford Crosstrek, er, Focus Active, may look the part but there’s no way they will even come even remotely close to matching Subaru’s build quality or the sophistication of the Eyesight suite of safety features. Ain’t gonna happen.
