“Good News! It's just the EGR valve. It's electronic, but it's a standard VW part. I can get it at the local AutoZone for $80. Bad news is it requires the engine to come out, the manifolds to come off and everything to be sonic cleaned and media blasted. That'll be $25,000 in advance. 

“On the few occasions I’ve seen these in person, I’m always shocked at how small they are.”

Same. I still want the EV over the I6, but if I can get a 4 door with the I6 for 40ish grand, it’s going to be pretty compelling. Here’s hoping.

You and I are on the same sheet of music—Dodge could well be shooting themselves in the foot with their pricing. It’ll be interesting seeing where the 6-banger ICE-V Chargers stack up from a pricing standpoint next year when they’re released.

I gotta say, I am completely deflated at this news.

If you think that was “dangerously slow” (a U.S. spec 451 hit 60 in about 11-12 seconds), you’ve never driven a truly slow car. My old Mercedes 240D hit 60 in 23 seconds, and it had the “faster” manual transmission. Now THAT is actually slow.

I was just writing about this in another post, so I’ll just keep it going here.

Second generation Dodge Grand Caravan. Handled like a boat, fuel gauge always left the chat halfway through a tank, and it caught on fire after some light off-roading. 0/10 will not drive again.

No kidding what a boring set of colors. Especially when Toyota has been making more fun color choices on their TRD models

A couple of months ago I spent two days in a press loaner Land Cruiser in Moab. It was good, not great. Everything I touched but the steering wheel felt cheap. The gauge cluster looked cheap. The extra 4 inch bump in the back because of the hybrid battery is annoying.

What’s wild to me is that this is the bus/RV/limo thing that literally started my career at Jalopnik. I wrote about this exact coach as my first-ever article here nearly four years ago!!

They’re saying that StalePhish is a Tesla shill, not Jalopnik. They rarely say anything negative about Tesla...

Type Cybertruck in the search bar on this site and see all the articles pointing out all of the terrible design and build quality issues to see the answer to your question. But one of the easiest to point out is that they made a wheel cover that actually tears up the wheel, and somehow failed to see this in testing,  j…

None of the features you mentioned (except for maybe the voltage) are unique in any way and are technologies that have been around for a decade or more. The steer-by-wire is not the first, but is apparently the first without a mechanical fail-safe. So the Cybertruck IS the best at deleting practical engineering and…

Yes the Cybertruck is objectively terrible as a vehicle.  When you have to take pictures at a Home Depot with stuff in the bed that proves it can truck things, it can’t do truck things.

Design opinions aside, it’s the worst engineered vehicle on sale in the US today. I would trust a Fisker Ocean (no long on sale) or even a VinFast before taking a Cybertruck on the road.

Sadly buying a $100K look-at-me vehicle and then intentionally damaging by walking on it and throwing stuff at it has become “the most American” thing to do these days. I long for the days when people tried to cover up their stupidity.

RAM made a big bet on the RamCharger, and how the market takes to that will have a big impact on the future of the brand I think. 

There’s trouble free Alfa Romeos out there, it can happen.
