Please. People act like GM dropped a fantastic, high-value brand in Pontiac but the reality is that it was a “sporty” trim level of Chevy by the time they killed it. It will always be the smarter decision to kill it in favor of Buick.

This.  His views give him money to give to others.  The charity pays for more charity.

“But real charity doesn’t need to be filmed. It just happens.”

This is not a type R, this is a type S and is following the same model logic as the EP3/DC5 Civic and Integra. Base integra = civic SI, integra-S = Civic R, integra R = a step above that. That was the structure they went to when the market for sport compacts started to fall off and they needed to condense the lineup…

Were you going to buy one before you received this news?

This was pretty clearly going to be the move from day one, but I’m just as happy to see it either way. Anyone who says “this is just a dressed up civic R!” was probably born after 2000 and does not understand what the original Integra actually was.

“Jeep Cherokee production winding down is hardly a surprise at this point: Stellantis had announced it would be idling Belvidire in December of last year. Sales of the Jeep Cherokee have been declining steadily for months, which is in stark contrast to other small-to-midsize SUVs from Jeep’s rivals, including the…

I don’t buy this, OEM’s essentially have a set margin per car and they really only make more on volume by selling more cars to the dealers. Dealers and retailers would benefit (ADM goes to the dealer, not the OEM) so I don’t see this as a real thing. Also, market share is real and auto people LOVE market share, ask me…

Simple: he didn’t exist. It was always a made-up PR persona.

After accounting for inflation, here’s what the following popular hot hatches would cost in 2022:

Back when they were slow and FWD only, sure.

A 2000 VW GTI 1.8T had an MSRP of $19,225, or $31,384 in 2021 dollars.  An Accord LX was $18,390 back then.

I can give you three reasons to get Santa Cruz over the Maverick

Harley v twin from the “loud pipes save lives crowd.” One continuous fart.

That building was totally a Toys R Us. I mean, at least TWO of my former TRUs have been remodeled for Spirit, but one is now Planet Fitness and another is (FINALLY) getting a remodel after how many years empty?

Opinions and all but I highly disagree. It's too short for boring to even get a chance to kick in. I enjoyed it from start to finish.

Not all games are “fun” though, right? Someone please check the Elden Ring review for how often that word comes up.

Wait are you saying a game probably isn’t enjoyable unless the reviewer specifically uses the word “fun” in the review? Because that’s a really bizarre way to navigate the world.

More seriously, I wonder if he’s teasing Thunderstrike. That’d be a way to pass the torch/hammer from Hemsworth without having to do any weird time- or dimension-hopping.

Amen!

Same reason why I would never buy a third party extended warranty. Those companies will find a reason not to pay out.
