Just remember that most of that job will be putting together business cases to prove that cool cars, cool colors, manual transmissions, etc. will actually make money for your company. Which they usually don’t. So prepare to have your soul crushed on the regular as you muddle through internal bureaucracy, argue with…

“Hood, bed, roofline, and window sill height have all increased dramatically, almost entirely due to styling trends,”

“Its width is a function of the desire to effectively block off a middle Eastern city street.”

Okay, I realize you mean well, but this post is significantly unhelpful in terms of providing useful information. It’s also flat-out wrong in some respects. Did you even trade emails with any helmet standards guys before posting this? I’ll try to address things in an orderly fashion.

My neighbor says she never gets bored of her Land Rover since she gets to drive a different loaner every few weeks.

And if Tesla’s cruise control features work anywhere, they’re likely to work on highways that start or end in SF or LA.

Because Erik Shilling is a bitter human being, and knows no differently.

Jalopnik can spend its money however it wants, so keep throwing it at Shilling, Orelove, and Hodge for all I care, though it would be nice if Jalopnik also threw it at people with fresher ideas on how to make an interesting car blog. I don’t begrudge Shilling, Orelove, and Hodge for taking the money, as they are paid…

How is this janky? This fix is less likely to break than the original design.

Stop doing simple currency conversions when comparing prices in other countries, it doesn’t work that way. At all.

Does the vehicle sell well in a red state or non coastal metropolitan area in the US or Canada and have a horsepower number that could be rounded up to four figures? If so, its the worst thing ever. Does it sell in a liberal by American standards European country? If so, it’s cheeky/sneaky/subversive.

Someone’s going to have to explain to me Jalopnik’s stance on when dodging emissions laws is cheeky/sneaky/subversive vs. THE WORST THING EVER.

Thanks for sharing. That was an epic trip and a great read.

To be fair, her speech is still protected. She can plaster “Tits Out” or any other constitutionally protected message she wants all over her minivan. What’s at stake here (and in other license-plate cases in other states) is whether she can use a state-issued (and state-manufactured) license plate to convey the…

For Toyota this is Germany 1928.

it was mercedes that complained because they ignored improving their pit stops because they had a second a lap faster car and didn’t need them.

now that they need them, suddenly red bull is “cheating”

bullshit. red bull has not had _one_ unsafe release in 2 years. you know who have had unsafe releases? all the teams not…
