I absolutely adore this car. In general I hate black plastic cladding but here it works and I really, really think they knocked it out of the park. It’s a better 2 series for people who aren’t up their own ass.

I just want to say that I’ve been critical of Jalopnik writing in the past and recently it has improved. Nobody was pining for my opinion on this but if my comment helps the metrics for a vastly improved morning shift, then it’s worth the effort.

Well, it’s definitely an ummm... choice, I guess. Good for whoever is after that kind of life. Sounds to me like a shitty place to live. Landlord dictates that you can’t park anywhere near your place. Landlord being involved in your daily transportation. Having a landlord at all. Sharing walls... this all sounds…

I’m old enough to remember BOGOF deals from various Hyundai, Kia, and Jeep dealers during the 2000's. I think I saw a BOGO for $1 at a Hyundai dealer as recently as 2013.

This care looks like $50k

In my admittedly limited experience, Ford motors like to rev a little more than LS motors... assuming that you were alluding to an LS motor being the other option.

I’m on board with “no dice” but your assessment is all wrong. Perhaps you underestimate how incredibly good these cars are. A properly done Cobra, replica or not, would dust a Miata on any track in any direction.

The price is right for a car without the wrong wheels and a way-out-of-place engine. This car has the wrong wheels and an engine that causes me to ask, “what was he thinking?” Would be even money (+ the cost of beer) to do it correctly myself and have all the memories of the build. For those reasons, I am out.

Why did I think that Ally financial was FCA’s captive finance arm?

According to Pontiac, wider is better

The Toyota Camry (especially V6 models). They are quick and ride just as well as a first or second gen Lexus LS. The transmission mapping is great. They are quite good in deep snow. They have cavernous interiors. They come standard with a dent in the corner of the rear bumper.

A star for her honesty

If I could find one in perfect condition, I would take a 2005 extended cab Silverado LT with the Z71 package. White on tan two tone paint. Tan leather, and all of the options. That is one hell of a good looking truck that can handle whatever you throw at it. Is it objectively the best in a bunch of categories? Nah.…

It’s not perfect but every tax is imperfect insomuch as they exist in the first place. The trouble with ever increasing fuel economy standards is that consumers tend to consume as much of a good as they can afford to. Car gets 50 mpg? “Hey honey, I think we can afford to take that trip to Colorado for Christmas, even…

Think about it like this: You’re a gym owner and you have a boxer who you’ve been pumping full of steroids for decades while paying for his food. You come to realize that your gym’s success can’t ride on this guy forever because he’s getting old. You find a new guy who you think can keep your gym on top and you want…

I share your concern but at least this has an external transmission fluid cooler. Half ton pickups don’t even have those any more.

Lots of cars make me pitch a tent, and this isn’t one of them.

I’m hoping that this trend of missed morning shifts will continue. It feels like the worst writing comes when there’s not a lot to write about.

I know it ain’t right but I’m voting NP! It’s in the market range and there is nothing at all like it. YOLO and daily drive this beast to hell and back.

The comments on this post are fantastic. I’m sorry that so many Subaru drivers had to lose tires for it to happen, though.
