No one has ever bought a Chevy Equinox — or any other compact crossover for that matter — based on how well it drove and how quick it was.

While I commend Chevy for releasing the Equinox EV as a separate platform, it’s rather confusing for buyers who would understandably assume one is the gas version of the other.

The Outback is a significantly larger car that competes with the Crown Signia, Blazer, Passport, Murano, etc. so it had better be more refined. Subaru’s Equinox competitor is the Forester.

This “high revving small engine” concern is an old wive’s tale these days. My Bronco Sport and previous Escape had 1.5L 3 cylinder engines with 8 speed transmissions. On the highway that drivetrain is supremely quiet. Like turbine smooth. And returns high 30's and even low 40's in mpgs depending on conditions. It…

That’s why I love how they did it on my F-150. It’s got a column shifter, and the mode selector is a little button on the end 

Wow, that’s terrible placement. If there was a QOTD for “Which Car Has The Worst Placement of Controls?”, this might win.

Ask me how many times I’ve gone to change the radio volume and gotten the “you can’t shift into reverse right now” warning.

“We are considerably ahead of where Tesla is. We’ve taken that mantle. When I was at Tesla, Tesla was the tech leader. They’ve become distracted, and we have taken that place,” he said, referring to what he believes is Lucid’s tech advantage in batteries, software, and powertrain.

It isn’t that simple. As Apple continues to iterate CarPlay, it is demanding more and more control of in-vehicle systems. Apple doesn’t just want to “integrate” into the native system of a vehicle, they are demanding further and further ownership of the entire in vehicle infotainment experience. In some cases, that…

I’m going to guess the recent MBA grads thought they’d “cut costs” by eliminating the cheaper, volume sellers, and boost profits by building “high margin” stuff.

Yeah, thats what confuses me, if the North American group is making all the money and supporting the European groups...maybe you shouldnt be in Europe all the time...or maybe you should have someone brought up in the NA market running the show, since that market is where all the money is. 

A U.S. CEO can certainly screw things up too, but I don’t think GM’s Carplay decision is even close to the existential problem facing Stellantis. 

It’s all a show.

300, Charger, Challenger, all dead. Chrysler has 1 product (Pacifica around since 2016 with little changes). Dodge consists of the Hornet and the ancient Durango which will either go out of production or get replaced. The Ram no longer has a V8 (and a Hemi at that) and good luck trying to market to the same people…

She’s the reason we no longer have Packard or Rambler. She killed Gommora and Black Widow. It’s because of HER that you have to pay extra to get a combo burrito at Taco Bell. My dog use to be happy until she saw Kamala call Donald Trump a poppy butt and now she won’t eat. She makes to sun go away every day at 7pm. I…

If you don’t know how to read a clock, a broken one can be right more than twice a day.

I guess my question is why is there a race category on a red light ticket? If there is an option for Not Applicable then it sounds like we can drop the category all together.

You get what you pay for. Coincidentally, Jalopnik, like most of the internet, is free.

“To most Americans, China is synonymous with cut-rate, cheap, poor-quality knockoff garbage, but that’s largely because that’s the kind of shit Americans buy and demand from Amazon, Temu, and Alibaba.”

The Cybertruck is basically the coupe SUV ie. BMW X6 of pickup trucks. You didn’t buy it for space, utility, off roading, towing, work, ergonomics etc. It is purely a styling exercise.
