don’t be an asshole and take up parking in front of someone else’s house.

The new performance plan could stifle innovation if employees are afraid to try new things for fear of failing and being graded a low performer.

Now, though, there’s finally a truly good-looking car back in the Audi stable: The new Q5.

This is for the re-run of this story for Jalop’s 20th anniversary - I get if you lost the or no longer have the rights to the original image that goes on this post, but why not use a new picture of the car that the article predominately is about, a Mazda Millenia?

They do, but it’s just as the Integra.

Used, I guess, but didn’t they stop making those years ago?

I also own a Mk7 GTI, and would still recommend the Fit in this case. Great as it is, the Golf has horrible rear legroom with a tall driver and for Golfs with sunroofs, the headroom is greatly compromised. I only have about 1" between my skull and the sunroof frame, and I can tell you it hurts when a bump in the road…

Yeah, there’s a mod people do to add just a hint of tilt to the seats to give a bit more thigh support. I don’t have a torque wrench, so I never tried it, but there are also cushions that attach to the seat bottom for that, if needed:

Totally; the first gen HR-V is related to the Fit, but IIRC the current one is more Civic? Still, both are a bit large compared to the guy’s Kia Rio, IMO

Respectfully, all of these suggestions are still massive vehicles.

Without having to think about it, Raphael Orlove’s fantastic, long piece on the history of Mazda’s failed attempt at a luxury brand and the resulting Mazda Millenia. Since it all happened in the pre-mass-market internet days, the only way to hear the story is from a ton of the important, high-up people who were…

People who put style over safety.

We really need some way to allow for sound inside the cabin without high volumes outside. Scientists, get on that.

One thing that IMO often gets overlooked when talking about NYC’s sound law and car noise outputs is that any vehicle’s noises are always going to be perceptibly louder in a concrete canyon of a city than a wide, open rural or suburban area.

The only way for him to avoid the fines in the future, his suit states, would be to stop driving the two-seater supercar in Manhattan

There are things like auto seat heating/cooling that come on when the car thinks you need them, not because someone wants that, but because the OEM buried those one-tap button so deep in a touch menu that they can spin poor design as a “feature”

Or perhaps you’re sick to the back teeth of aggressive lane-keeping tech that fights you when you attempt to merge onto the highway

No, I understand that applies to the ICE car, but they knew there was to be an electric one. Why it makes such poor use of the volume just seems like laziness.

I can confirm that the worst part about driving in New York is New Jersey.

I’m sure the Charger and the Ioniq 5 N are wonderful cars, but pumping fake engine noise over a speaker was dumb when they did it in cars with engines and it’s even dumber in cars with electric motors. It’s inauthentic, fake, a trick.
