Well, CUVs are basically tall station wagons. People love them. The car-height station wagon has run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible: but the slightly taller “crossover” station wagon is taking over the fucking world.

I scrolled past the masthead part of the article too quickly so see, but before I wrapped up, I knew Kitman wrote this. I knew he had been involved in Jalopnik, but I don’t think I’d ever seen any of his articles since I started reading a few years back. I used to love “Noise, Vibration and Harshness” back when I…

I’ll add my two cents:

People love station wagons. I was just thinking today how my life would be better with a Corolla Matrix rather than my Corolla.

As an aside to anyone who wants to know more about the less important side of this - what lead actually does in engines - Advance Auto Parts actually has a pretty good explanation on their website. I’d link it, but Kinja doesn’t like that. It explains the main thing lead is actually used for (protecting cylinders from…

I don’t have any particular feelings about Jaguar one way or another, but why review expensive cars on this site at all if every other sentence is going to be something snarky about how much it costs, or how little the supposedly clueless buyers will care about something?

I learned on older cars as well, but still paid extra for ABS/side airbags on my first new car.

My guess is the c-hr is on its way out. There may be a year or two of overlap but i doubt the c-hr will continue or if it does it will be rebranded as a prius model.

Or just call it the Matrix. 

In most parts of Asia, the Rav4 is marketed as a large SUV, and the C-HR as a compact SUV. The Corolla-Cross slides in as the missing mid-size SUV segment for Toyota Asia. We don’t get any of the SUVs Americans get above the Rav4. 

Not seeing a problem here. It’s the same platform as the sedan. Honestly I usually prefer the hatchback, shooting brake, and wagon versions of sedans more than the sedans themselves. More practical, better rear seat headroom, and usually they look better. What I gripe about above is slapping the name of a car that has…

uhhh

Nor mine. There are DOZENS of us!!!

Agree. Came here to say that. It wasn't until the turn of the century that it became a boring sedan only. 

Or did they find an over-worked inspector trying to do far more than is reasonable for one person to do?

Doesn’t stray to far from the OG Corolla for me. I think the first generation Corolla van delux is close in concept and function.

It’s not tooo bad, at least they aren’t making a Cabriolet version (yet)...

As something derived from Corolla, they should have called it the Corollary.

how about the Crossolla ?

>Earlier this week Arkansas fired the bridge inspector who missed the crack in consecutive 2019 and 2020 inspections, and did take an opportunity to admit that the crack was visible in the 2019 video. Is there only one person responsible for all the bridges in Arkansas, or does this smell like a scapegoat job to you,…
