There’s a lot to like about the 4Runner, but dear Lord above I cannot fathom why they haven’t at least upgraded the 5 speed slushbox. Toyota has shown a penchant for “upgrading” to worse engines so I’m not asking for them to “upgrade” the engine. Just... maybe use the 6 speed from the GX, or perhaps an 8 speed. Somethi…

Don’t take yourself, or the internet too seriously. It appears to be someone’s attempt at humor.

Let’s see...
The Chevy Trail Blazer is garbage and they always clog up the on-ramp with their inability to reach highway speeds, so that gets my first vote.

Next up to the chopping block should be the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe. It is worse looking than the CLS, its name is too damn long, and it should probably never…

This is some Harrison Bergeron shit.

The reason that leasing doesn’t work right now is because it’s a dumb play. We all know: in a lease you pay for the expected depreciation + interest on the money. But right now cars aren’t depreciating nearly as rapidly as they have in years past.... but lease payments are even higher.

A friend of mine recently tried…

Strange not to see the Lexus GX on the list. They are very well-known to be bullet proof and well built.

No on both counts. I drive a gas guzzler and am able to separate my opinion of Elon Musk the person from clearly settled case law.

Musk has accumulated enough wealth for a thousand generations and fathered enough children to probably carry the family name for a dozen at least. Elon’s Musk will be right up there with Vanderbilt, Carnegie, Ford, Rockefeller, etc...
I’m no Elon fanboy, just stating facts.

Why do you think that I think “labor in exchange for money” means that the boss gets to be immune from consequences?”

Read my comment again and circle back. Employees enjoy certain protections, and those protections have limits. You can’t say whatever you want to your CEO or about them to your work colleagues and…

I did read the article, and I understand exactly what protections employees have. Now, have a seat and read my comment.
Employees don’t have the God-given right to say whatever they want to (emphasis added) sr. leadership.
That is a fact and has been determined statutorily and by case law. We all enjoy some…

Breaking news: Talking shit about your CEO can and most likely will get you fired. Twitter and SpaceX employees should be smart enough to know this.

scuttling perfectly good ships is ecologically abhorrent.

I once DD’ed an Excursion for about a year and found it to be quite pleasant. People took their hats off when they saw my beautiful Eddie Bauer behemoth. This being the case, the Excursion is where I draw the line. It was almost too big.

Someone already mentioned the late model Ford Taurus SHO, but I think the first go-’round was a better car. It had a high revving Yamaha V6 and could be had with a manual transmission. They’re not fast by today’s standards but neither is an M5 from that era.
Another excellent sleeper is the late 2000's Chevrolet Impala…

I think it is certainly more than tacit approval.

I’ve wondered if the writers at Jalopnik earned passing grades in high school English classes more often than not, for the past few years. JFC folks, all it would take is one more set of eyes and perhaps five minutes of internet searching to fix the litany of errors in each of your published pieces.

How in the heck did they writers neglect the GX460? It’s perfect.

Edit: I didn’t actually read the letter, I just read the headline and the GX460 sounds good.

I used to work with a guy who had a gen 1 Volt. His round trip commute was like 60 miles of mostly highway. He’s a big time early adopter type and an incredibly high earner, so when the Gladiator came out he got the launch edition. Anyway, I frequently asked him about the Volt and his experience because it was a very…

Yours is a particularly galaxy brained take. The best way for low income people to stay in a crappy and low income situation is for them to take on debt. Passenger cars are markedly more efficient now that they were just 15 years ago. Therefore as higher earners switch to EV’s the supply of newer, more fuel efficient…
