And now E39 window regulators are NLA.

No, they’re not.

Something isn’t sitting right in that front end. Front spring perches look collapsed.

Hot rumor persists that the next Miata will be a crossover with plastic body cladding and that it almost definitely won’t be a reskinned CX30.

Yes there is! Italian cars of this era, including Ferraris, suffer from “sticky buttons”. You can either buy the kit for $150 to refinish the buttons yourself (moderately difficult) or there are a few places that will refurnish them for you for about $750 - $1K. You just need to remove and ship.

Ugh. This is a spectacularly shitty take.

I drove one of these on studded snows and it was one of the best winter sleds ever. This drivetrain is bomb proof and even a hack mechanic like me can manage a tune up. NP all day long!

If Americans are slow to adopt EVs, what makes VW think they’re going to buy an ugly crossover being marketed as an electric sedan?

I’m going to float an unpopular opinion and say that if you are going to entertain one of these, an earlier, non sport line example with the 2 valve M103 motor would be the smart pick. Having driven both, I find the power delivery and noise of the M103 to be far superior. Where the 24V motor is coarse and peaky, the…

One part of me says this is infinitely better than anything you can buy today unless you have north of $50K to spend. And another part of me says life is too short to drive boring cars.

Headline in 2050:

Looks on brand for Northeast Ohio. While I’m not opposed to a cheap Cougar, I do prefer them with a little more spring in their step. When you can buy a clean XR7 with the supercharged V6 or 4.6L V8 for a few grand more this one seems like ND.

Lack of engagement and driver involvement is going to be a tough hurdle to clear for EVs. I personally don’t want to drive something that has the same driving characteristics as a golf cart. And yes, I’ve driven the P100D and the Taycan - both offer ferocious acceleration and good handling for their size / mass, but a…

Who are those people you speak of that will be celebrating?

Hot Wheels must be pissed that BMW poached their entire design team to bring this concept to life. The enormous front overhang is absolutely inexcusable on a RWD car and makes the whole design look illy proportioned. The fact that everyone is so jazzed about this concept shows just how bad car design has gotten.

Yeah those listings are wrong.

Come on Jalopnik. This is sloppy reporting at best, and just pure clickbait at worst. I’ll give Lawrence the benefit of the doubt here and say that he simply took some of Meunier’s quotes out of context.

One of the few new cars that everytime I see one in the flesh - which isn’t very often - causes me to stop and turn. They are beautiful in person, although I contend the non-QV versions are a bit dull to drive. That problem isn’t unique to Alfa Romeo, as every 4 cylinder turbo car in this class seems to suffer from an…

You’re thinking of the W126, the successor to the W116. 116s did not have power seats (imagine that!).

Good luck with that. When there is nothing to distinguish a Maserati anymore from the plethora of other soon to be introduced BEVs, there will be no reason to own a Maserati. The draw of Maserati has been and always will be its internal combustion motors and the sound they emit. It’s a problem that really isn’t just…
