Not to mention that the Yugo had a crankshaft that was apparently made of cheese, or some other similar material.  Yeah, the Chevette was horrible (my family has had three of them over the years) but at least they could reach the end of their lifespan with the original crankshaft in the engine...

Tripled its value.

I test drove a new Yugo. It felt like a 10yo used car. The hood came unlatched while we were driving down the road, and the adjusting lever for the driver’s seat came off in my hand. There was notable rust on the seat supports - inside the car! This was a NEW car with <10 miles on it. They really were THAT bad. I…

I have ridden in both. I would have chosen a Chevette over the Yugo in a heartbeat. Even during the time when 55mph was the law of the land, Yugos were very underpowered. Underpowered cars with good handling capabilities can be fun. In my experience the Yugo lacked both and had zero refinement.  It was rough, plain…

The Chevy Sprint was also available at the time and being a rebadged Suzuki they were much better than a Yugo.

Now this is a shitty Yugo!

No. Just no

pretty much like almost any manufacturer’s small hatchback of the time—Ford Fiesta, Volkswagen Golf, Renault 5, whatever. It’s totally appropriate for the jobs the car would do, and, again, not the worst in the world.

My 12 year old GMC Sierra has never let me down, until a few weeks ago when it popped a brake line and the pedal went to the floor. Cursed rust ... and damn GM for not using coated brake lines on the GMT-800 trucks. Without hesitation, I had all the lines replaced with the remarkably cheap (coated!) replacement brake l…

That’s what you get for buying Apple.

Clearly, BMW thought that our current crop of crossovers and SUVs were not large enough, so it made the 2019 X7 goddamn massive. [...] And it is huge, y’all. It is 203.3 inches long (about 17 feet), 78.7 inches wide (6.5 feet) and 71.1 inches tall (about six feet).

Did Takata patent their shrapnel enhanced airbags ?

I’m an ol’ country boy. I’ve driven a lot worse for 150K miles. 

Damn man, did I bone your wife or something? 

So much less hideous than everything else on the market here right now. Seriously, there are no good looking SUVs outside of Jeep. Someone give me SOMETHING to get excited about. 

I’d rather take 49 grand and buy one of these:

I wish it was like the Trailblazer that other countrys have. It’s just a Colorado with a SUV body. (imagine a ZR2 Trailblazer!) Which I guess Chevy didn’t want because it would eat into their Tahoe sales.

I think the Jalopnik editorial staff’s previous editing experience was pulling stumps.
