Any GM vehicle. Beyond defining the rental car interior, they’re a shitty company that first screwed up and then tried to weasel out of their obligations to fix the ignition switch issues in the Cobalt and in 2019 they cancelled the health insurance of striking auto workers as a way to force them back on the job. I…

I drove by what looked to be a staging lot for maybe eighty VF8s in the SF Bay Area in December of last year. It looks like what used to be an Acura dealer is now a VinFast showroom:

Stuff like the Citroën Ami and Fiat Topolino may be hits elsewhere around the globe, but they’re barely talked about here.

GTI. The best daily could become the best utility vehicle.

MX-5 Miata sales are down, and they’re down bad. If things don’t turn around soon, we may be looking at the beginning of the end for the humble Miata.

You know the Ford Ecosport was bad when it was a compact crossover that debuted at a time when compact crossovers were firmly the hottest market and they still couldn’t move any.

I always thought these were Q5 sized. The A2 is 10" shorter than a Honda Fit!

Honda CR-Z. Past the B-pillar, it’s all cargo area. With the rear fake seat down, it’s about 46" deep and 34" wide, and with the fake seats up, you can still get at least 4 bags of mulch in it (speaking from personal experience).

Even before you extend it to ute proportions, compare it to a Ford Maverick hybrid: the…

You’re gonna be excited to learn the VW Saveiro exists

Dodge Charger and Challenger, hands down.

The new Jetta. It would be great to see a new version of the Alltrack as well.

I would much rather feel like Vicks than peel my sweaty back off the vinyl seats.

Cutting across the highway’s gore — the triangular area separating the main highway from an exit — to pull over is when he heard and felt large pops.

For at least 60 years there have been appliance cars, though. The Nash Metropolitan wasn’t an enthusiast vehicle, and the Mustang started as a cheap set of wheels, not the brotacular muscle beast that it’s known for today.

It didn’t help that literally the only thing I’ve heard from auto journalists about the return of Alfa was just how much of a lemon the Guilia turned out to be. I haven’t bothered to look at them since seeing how often their first model back in the states were breaking

Really? The Kia would probably be the first one I’d go look at if I wanted a van. Honda seems like too safe a bet. Despite the reputation, I personally really can’t stand Toyota interiors, so I wouldn’t even bother looking at it.

You can get a Chrysler, a Toyota, a Honda, or a Kia. That’s it. That’s all that’s left. Is this the world you want to live in?

It’s unprofitable to sell cheap cars this way
