Uh. Definitely no.

Unchanged for nearly 30 years after its 1977 debut, the Niva got an update(and the 4x4 name) in 2014

Frickin’ liberals and their bans...

Just about every current European V8 is a 4L, with a large chunk of the big 3's (Mercedes, BMW, Audi/VW) being 4L V8 turbos.

Unrelated, this thing looks really, really good in this photo.

Just missed my buddy’s expedition-ready Taco! I think he sold it for around $30k. He’s moving to a Sprinter for more serious #vanlifeyo.

I’m going to set the record straight once *thrice* and for all here:

Hate to break it to you, but life is a death trap.

Yup! It’s one of the safest PowerWheels in the driveway!

This is going to get a ton of crap for “Land Rover owners won’t actually use this!”, but I think it’s perfectly designed for Land Rover owners.

Proof that the number one way to make a car desirable is to make it unavailable (to us Americans at least).

For reference: VW Arteon. Available, almost exactly the same in looks and specs, general “meh” reception.

Stereotypes are the worst! But, uh, yeah... Alfa Romeo things...

I mean, I suppose a Miata is pretty low-carb, but it’s definitely not the answer I was thinking when I asked, “what pseudo-healthy meal should I have for dinner tonight?”.

No problem - just noting this beautiful and hopeful character development. This sort of emotion is what makes Jalopnik’s sci-fi space films so incredible!

Uh... No.

Ballaban at 1:30: “No, let’s keep this focused on cars.”
Ballaban at 5:30: “Humanity’s greatest calling is to colonize space and become citizens of the ultraverse!!!!”

Yeah it’s not super common... but dude... “Unlikely you’ll ever see one in person”?

We come to Jalopnik for the FACTS, dammit!

This model’s sales numbers are so low that it’s unlikely you’ll ever see one in person in America.

“You know, these get a bad rap but as long as you keep up with regular maintenance they’re actually rock solid!
