Just when I thought Gawker was somewhat separate from Jalopnik... I already see enough garbage headlines on the left side of my screen next to my automotive Jalopnik stories. I don’t need to see these stories as Jalopnik headlines.

GM is doing this very same thing right now with the 2014+ Chevy and GMC trucks with vibration issues. I know of several owners who have tried different dealerships to get to their 3rd or 4th repair attempt, but once the dealers pull up their VIN in the system, they suddenly decline to work on the truck. I’ve always…
I traded my 2011 Silverado with a 6.2 for a 2014 with a 5.3. I’ve missed my 2011 ever since. That thing ran great, and sounded great with its rumbly factory exhaust. This is the first time in my life that I’ve been disappointed with a new vehicle purchase. I’ve been yearning for the performance and more visceral…
Haha... I thought you meant motorcycle. You did a nice job, but that wasn't at all what I was expecting to see!
This post is worthless without photos!
Exactly how I expected a Gawker writer to look...
It’s pretty neat, but it seems to be missing a pedal!
I’ve been a GM fan from an early age, mainly because I’ve raced GM cars, and have been happy with my new GM truck purchases. That’s until I purchased my 2014 Silverado. I am no longer loyal, as this truck is a pile of garbage. For the first time in my life I’ll be considering other brands when I’m ready to change…
You must have watched a different video. Your buddy did a great job, but the 818 cars that I saw were beautiful.
Towing is far different than stopping...
My fiance’ owns a 2011 Jeep Compass. She purchased it new before I knew her. She picked it because it offered good fuel mileage (she commutes), she can lock in the rear wheels with a lever under the console when the snow flies, and she didn’t want to spend a fortune on the other vehicle options with the same features.…
Step One: Mary the right husband!
As Doug noted, they’re an amazingly fun car that can be daily driven. Mine got about 23mpg, not that anyone really cares about mileage, and it had enough performance to be fun, and just enough space to be practical for most weekend trips. Don’t forget the visceral driving experience, the nostalgia, and the smiles you…
All I have to add to this is, “Have you tried the Applebee’s pretzel sticks?” They’re amazing!
Please don’t ruin the 8-speed by making it act confused while hunting for gears. I’d be interested to see how Toyota approaches the control of the new transmission.
Look, I know there are a lot of smart people caught up in the global warming / climate change scare, but has anyone really sat down and thought about how much diesel soot it would take to REALLY make a difference in the climate? Just think about that for a moment without bringing emotion into the equation.
I’m pretty sure mud puddles are counted as lakes in MN!
Probably one of the most ignorant statements I've read lately. I hear Bernie Sanders is needing some campaign workers. You'd be a great fit.
Look at the pages and pages of unhappy GM 2014+ truck customers that have vibration problems: http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/1… Don’t worry, most of them are getting the same treatment from GM.
I’ve been impressed with Hyundai’s increase in quality over the last 5 or more years. I know someone that purchased an older Sonata that has the 3.3 V6 engine. That car ran great, and went over 100,000 miles without any repairs. Eventually she wanted to trade it in on a new one, but she quickly realized that Hyundai…
