Yeah this preachy style article makes me want to go buy another truck.

Yeah, sometimes I think this is the automobile sight for people who hate automobiles.

Yeah1 Screw those low-income people that have to commute for work!

Do they really think this kind of browbeating is helpful?

“Americans are often guilty of buying more car than they really need.”

So, unless you actually work as a contractor or are an off-roading enthusiast, just buy a damn car.

COTD. Take your star you magnificent bastard!

Navigator is a luxury car from a luxury brand with a luxury price. Same as the s class. Both dont offer their price tag worth of features over a comparable vehicle from an economy brand but it doesnt matter. The people that buy this do so for the brand and desire to be seen as wealthy by non car enthusiasts and to…

I get where you are coming from, but they are different vehicles.

You are comparing a heavily photoshopped press photo with something Kristen took herself (she is easily the best photographer on the Jalopnik writing staff but still). Everything that looks like metal in the Palisade is plastic. Everything that looks like metal in the Lincoln is metal. The new Lincoln interiors are…

This is kind of like asking what makes a s class worth x amount more than a Camry. Truth is from a purely technical standpoint it isn’t. But the people looking to buy this aren’t cross shopping the Palisade.

Can this myth please be retired? Some people simply don’t want a minivan. Doesn’t mean they’re trying to be hip or “with it”, it’s just they don’t want one. 

That place was the worst for sensationalist headlines and heavy aggression. Never saw an unbiased, neutral-toned article there. Which, I suppose, wasn’t its goal.

Truck people need not apologize for their choice in vehicle, just like no one in a sports car should apologize for theirs. The whole hating on trucks/cuvs/SUVs things is dumb and tired. Don’t like that I get less mpgs than you? Eat a scabby dick and worry about your own pitiful and sad existence.

I’m just trying to explain why people will lineup for the chance to buy that car, and why Ford is super selective and puts tons of contractual obligations for owners to make sure these cars don’t go immediately in storage or become a rolling currency that goes from auction to auction upon delivery.

i’m glad youre happy with your entry level sports car. Wait till you hear about this entry level sports car Ford came out with back in 1964 1/2

It’s like the Morning Strike now. This entire thread will deteriorate into pro union vs. not union and it’s getting old. Next post please.

Where did it say anything about a fifth wheel? It said “a horse.” You can tow at least three horses without a fifth wheel type horse trailer. 

Your hypothetical situation, which doesnt exist in US auto manufacturing is not really an arguement...
