1. Dearth of EVs that come without excess tech. I want to drive a car, not a spaceship. (I guess this makes me old). Just because the powertrain is different doesn’t mean the car needs to be so overly complicated. This also applies to many recent ICE cars, but at least there are options out there for people who don’t

Now playing

There were serious problems with the approach, but the myth that it came within 150 feet of the water was debunked nearly immediately after this occurred. That altitude was based on ADS-B which reports based on adjusted barometric pressure which can unreliable. That’s why planes use a radar altimiter for terminal

Okay, but one of them is real.

Anyone else kind of expecting to see a mint 90s era Camry (based on the headline), only to be quickly and rudely reminded how freaking old you are?

What you have proposed is current Biden admin policy

Which would all be solved tomorrow (well a good chunk anyways), through Telecommuting and update the zoning laws so we can build up local communities that incentivize people to stay locally namely with entertainment and parks not trying to stuff 80 million homes every single place. But the cowards up top won’t do it.

Buckminster Fuller’s Dymaxion. I was lucky enough to see one of the few remaining prototypes at a Concours d’Elegance once, and it is every bit as bizarre as you’d imagine. Believe it or not, Fuller’s original intent was for this thing to have VTOL capabilities. He pitched it as “A ‘zoomobile’ that could hop off the

Meh, all I see is a rerun of Grand Prix with F1 having the advantage of GoPro-ish ultra-rez cameras for shots that were technologically impossible back in 1966.

Wow this take is so bad you got me to log into my Kinja account for the first time in years so your bosses should be quite happy with you.

This is actually absurd that Jalopnik would even post this.... I will no longer be supporting Jalopnik because this is just stupidity. First of all, the editor has no clue what he is talking about and has never driven in a competitive series in his life. Lance Stroll won every karting championship in North America and

Not around here. Cheap cars are bought by cheap people and cheap people don’t spend money maintaining their cars. That and rust will have these disappearing by the end of a decade.

Saab. You still see a decent amount of final generation 9-3s, but limited parts availability for anything that can’t be sourced from the GM family pool will likely kill off any remaining survivors. 

Well if it keeps going like its going: Any Toyota product with that twin turbo v6.

I had never audibly gasped at a car interior until today.  Yikes.  

It’s an extremely distinct design for a modern car. Most car companies lean heavily into “corporate design language” and Toyota didn’t do too much with the Supra. I personally dig the F1 inspired look.

The “corporate front end” kills the staying power of the LC. Once that Lexus grill looks old, it will drag down the rest of the car.

Even the C8 is essentially a better copy of most modern-day mid-engine exotics. Sure, it has questionable looks but it matches or bests the performance of its competitors (especially in Z06 trim) in a daily-drivable package for significantly less cost.  And, you can have it serviced in any of the thousands of Chevy

Th celica was compared to the 1st gen Mustang. The similarities are there.

Maybe grab a picture of the Lincoln that wasn’t a completely shit paint blend after the incident with the door and the yellow pole at the bank?

The absolute worst and last thing the Miata needs is a bigger infotainment screen. I have the ‘21 and I wish the stupid thing would at least retract or fold flat into the dash. That’s my only complaint about the car in three years of ownership.
