Jalopnik commenters: “Cars are boring now and automatics suck and I hate crossovers too.”

Was about to sell my 2012 Subaru STi wagon, for this same reason. I came the conclusion that first it’s the clutch and hard suspension, then its walking up stairs. I put my ass on a diet and started working out, went to the doctor got checked up and kept the fun cars. I think unfortunately this same situation will get…

This is not the car for those that want auto.  Plenty of other options.  It’s for an enthusiast that can’t afford the M2 but thinks the CTR is too spartan. 

Every “competitor” (or near competitor) has automatic only. Leave us purists and zealots a couple cars, please.

classical music being played in public areas can subtly hint that only certain groups of people are wanted in that space.

I otherwise like the Soul as a practical car, I just hate the people who drive them. It’s the Nissan Altima of compact SUVs.

I’d be afraid to own this because of the scumbag ‘Kia Boyz’. Even if it has the security and protections that would prevent easy theft, unlike certain 2012-2021 Kia/Hyundai models, nothing is going to stop those fuckheads from breaking in and, destroying your shit, only to find out they can’t take it for a joy ride.…

back then the 2nd gen xB i liked a lot lot better than the Soul  Especially with a manual.  sad the xB didnt continue.  The 2nd gen was a much better car for daily living even if it wasnt as quirky

Seems more like the Fit

After looking at these pics I’m already sick of seeing this new version.

A big part of what killed the Scion xB was the 2nd gen redesign that left the fun practicality behind (and then of course the death of Scion itself). It seems like the Soul is following in those footsteps. At that pricing, it will be competing with the Corolla Cross hybrid now.

I miss my xB, I put 150K on that tall wagon

Infiniti J30 vibes

If it’s as easy to steal as other Hyundai’s, no one will steal this as it’s too ugly.

 Hyundai stole the rear of the 1997 Infiniti J 30 for some reason 

“the lack of luxury features like automatic up and down rear windows.”

“This thing is all about comfort, and that’s what it does best.”

The rear end kind of looks like the taper of a pinched off turd.

I judge my car’s worth by how many butt lips it has, and this thing is top shelf.
