On many levels, I LOVE that people are buying small cars- however, I'll add, I've seen a LOT of Sparks as branded car-share or rental cars…. so judging their overall popularity with the general public might be presumptuous. Side note: I've seen one miRAGE (doesn't it sound ferocious when it's spelled that way??) since…

No gloating. Just facts: My '06 Sienna turned 130k today in the Napa Wine county. No recalls besides a possible rusty spare tire. Love that rig. After BMWs and Saabs, this Toyota concept is a revelation. Sorry for the Honda buyers. Transmissions, defective fuel pumps.. no thanks.

I read Jalopik probably every 4-5 days. Before Kinja or whatever it's called, it was twice a day at least. I find this format so discombobulated and inorganic, it's off-putting. Off putting enough I just stopped visiting the site. That said, the new single column for the right 2/3 of the page is *vastly* more user…

Flawless. Sexy. Covetable. Perfect.

I want BOTH. Take the Caddy front bodywork and side trim off (despose of the rest of the vehicle) and graft it onto the Sunbird for a Cimmerbird convertible. Neither car could look worse and you might actually increase the value.

I'm just super excited someone else besides me (that would be the writer of this article) thinks current MB styling is overworking the 'melting ass'. MB needs an ass lift on every sedan, coupe and coupysedan they build. Pronto.

Picking a Volvo over either of these cars is mega-cool. Stealth trumps obvious every time. Especially in an R. Well played.

A while ago I read that the X-Type wagon is amongst the rarest production automobiles on the roads. I'd venture the newest Saab 9-5 might be in the running also. I do love a rare 'normal' car though.

I think of this era of Taurus EVERY time I see a new Mercedes-Benz sedan emerge.. the CLA, CLS, S and new 2015 C-class all vibe in this direction. Oops.

As much as Volvo needs the new XC90, I think there's the GIANT opportunity to make something nobody else has (yet..). A premium, lightly prestigious well designed, patently safe family van. Y'all want a coupe and I would like one too but Volvo needs a standout high-margin vehicle that competes with nobody else (until…

You all *really* like that 6 series 4-door? I think it's a dud. If you put 'Chrysler 400' labels and switched the grille on that thing nobody would doubt it for a second. Reminds me of a lardier 200 and a '96 Sable. Bleh. Still less rococo than a CLS but that's no compliment.

I'm not going to defend the IS however, anybody who thinks the current 3-series is the pageant winner, might need new glasses. it's a snore and a bore for stealing the 5-series also-dull garb. Dynamically lovely (I own an e46 touring) but BMW is hardly leading the fight for interesting car design.
