Jalopnik lost its heart when Patrick George finally stepped aside...

He's just pining for the Fords....

Counter point: Minis are pretty awesome, relatively unique in a world full of crappy CUVs, and 346,639 people disagreed with you just last year.

There was a way to share this news without being an asshole about it.

WTF is your problem with MINI? They make a fun small hatch that you can order larger variants of. Are some of them quite large? Yes but not everyone can justify a small hatchback.

Over the past few years, I’ve started thinking in just one word: fuck.

I saw this last night and have been thinking (in words) a lot about it today. It just seems so extraordinary that there are people that don’t have conversations going on in their head all day.

Maybe they should stop letting these guys fly them

Saturn was a good idea—just failed execution. No drain back holes in the pistons, which meant-when combined with cheap plastic temp-sensors that cracked and failed-that once overheated the lands would coke up and you’ld have an oil-burner.
