Yes it will do just fine on the highway. At 75 or 80, you’ll be hammering the engine hard, but they would do that all day long. I had a Suzuki Samurai - 4300 RPM at 70 mph. It wailed for me to go slower, but would still do those crazy revs all day long and not blow itself up. Not every car must go 0-60 in three…

Nice pseudonym, Fancy Kristen. I see you.

Because everybody deserves one.

You sir are looking for the Intercontinental, a car that spans multiple time zones.

One of my favorite Alfa emails that didn’t make it in here started like this: “Ok, last thing from me. I’ll acknowledge I’m being somewhat of a prick, and that you shouldn’t have to know everything about everything to have an opinion.” 

Alanis, don’t take it personally. We all say things we don’t mean when we’re waiting in a service department for hours on end. Their frustration will inevitably lessen once they trade it in for something else.

just to get some Jalopnik Internet “hits”

To be fair, it is a lot easier to shift the burden of clean energy to the grid and not to each and every individual car. So, your energy “could” conceivably be clean, depending on where your power comes from. That can never be the case for a gasoline-powered car.

Of course, you then descend into a rabbit hole about the…

Your assessment of the cars to define the characters was spot on. Movies don’t have time to tell you everything about a character, so directors will “dress” them in items that amplify their traits. Clothes and cars can speak volumes about a person without saying a word.

This is a great article and why I love Jalopnik. I would enjoy a “Cars of the movie” series of articles and a tie-in to the main characters. Fast and Furious, Dazed and Confused, the possibilities are endless.

These tests do not accurately reflect the real-world usage of an Alfa-Romeo. A rear-impact from the breakdown lane is by-far the most likely crash for a Giulia owner.

Our 2004 MPV is fantastic, best vehicle we’ve ever owned hands-down. Sure, it’s starting to rust out pretty bad in the rear wheel wells and has 248k on it, but it just keeps chugging along. Bought it with 126k back in 2012 for $6k cash, figured we’d get a few years out of it. At 177k it needed new tires and I thought…

They are nothing short of the most awesome truck that I have ever driven. Whenever I need a truck, I always request one from Uhaul.

I was going to suggest a Roadmaster.

Father of 4 here. Spontaneous Triplets yo. It happens. A minivan is the only way to go. I’m sorry. Yes, it makes you very uncool. Suck it up. Own it. Put a Nine Inch Nails sticker on your back window for the irony.

Psh, clearly there’s one answer to this problem. Comes in the form of a Oldsmobile Cutlass Vista Cruiser. Room for many kids? Check, Don’t have to remove a car seat to get anyone in or out? Check.

Exact same situation my sister was in. She ended up with a used Honda Odyssey. Came in under their $10,000 budget. 2 rows of captain chairs to help prevent the kids hitting each other, and also allowed for 2 car seats in the rear and one on the drivers side to allow easier ingress and egress. Enough snark in the V6 to…
