Joking aside, i'm not sure i'm with you there. I have seen quite a few films (in the wider sense, so including documentaries and commercials) that were precisely shot to make you care about these kind of topics, or at least make you aware hat there is a topic at all. One example that comes to mind is household…

Excellent! Cheers, now let's see if we can come up with something in the short while available.

OK, but then why all the films about topics like child abuse, cancer or expendable action heroes? You sure your logic is sound...?

OK i just realised you don't just take plans, but finished films too. Reading the whole post helps a lot doesn't it? So i have questions regarding this:

This comment makes me think you don't understand the whole concept of "car culture" "why we care" or "Jalopnik" for that matter, but whatever, you're free to exclude anything you like. Like this gem, filmed by Brits on a Spanish island with a German car, and that's just somethig posted here recently.

Gawker rules say US residents only.... sad international commenter, with car videos on his mind, all the time, every time is sad.

I have driven both roads, and yes, the one to Sa Calobra is the best driving road i have ever experienced - although i'm yet to get the Alps off the bucket list, so this isn't a definitive. If you're ever on the island of Mallorca, please do drive to Sa Calobra, in something manual, you won't ever forget that. Anyway,…

ok, fair enough.

Stereotypes aside, minivans offer more practicality than the average SUV while getting better fuel economy. The only real-world sacrifice you make with a minivan is that you can't take it offroad, but nobody goes four wheeling in new SUVs anyway. It's a shame that minivans, America's most sensible vehicles, have to be…

Things i would note include: 5 doors ain't a shooting brake (although now that coupes come with 4 doors... whatever), and there were more generations of M3s with other propulsion than there were NA 6 cyls, while saying "last of the line" makes it sound like something of a long lineage. Also #10 has a pretty bad…

Won`t be easy answering in detail on the phone, but i`ll try anyway.

Look, i have driven numerous CX-5s, Mazda6s and Mazda3s, and what i wrote about their dynamics is all my own experience, not something i read somewhere. They aren't revolutionaries, but compared to the current crop of basic transportation, they are in deed among the very best choices, if you love driving but have to…

"What's with the collective polishing of Mazda's knob around these parts?" Simple. Mazda still holds dear a few values, that people frequenting Jalopnic value too. Like driving fun derived from vehicle dynamics instead of over-the-top HP + electronics. Yes, as a hatchback it's nothing groundbraking, but they are good…

I like that. No, that's not true. I love that!

I don't know much about the LS save for the fact it shared some bits (but what?) with the Jaaaaaag S-Type, so i don't have the least idea how it drives. Not all manual RWD cars were created the same you know, lifeless steering, shitty shifter or an uninspiring suspension geometry could all kill the fun. As well as the…

A torsion beam, as a lot of European hatches. Some classify this as semi-independent, and there are a lot of very good handling cars equiped with it, but because previous Civics had IRS, it felt as a step backward, when introduced on the 8th generation in 2006.

Except the European hatchback. Go figure.

I would love it, simply because more sportscars are a good thing.

I was a bit rude in this comment, and it's too late to edit, sorry. I would also add, as others have pointed out, that BMW always used the designations not in correlation with engine size, but the power associated to that engine size. As the German Autokatalog shows, they were already doing this 30 years ago.

I know it is completely accepted to generate hoopla around BMW not designating their cars exactly to engine size, and to say this came with modern times. I however own an 1983 (that's 31 years ago) Autokatalog, and if I open it up, i see that
