Exactly, and Ford could never hope to bottle that Jeep lightning, and they shouldn’t try. A “no-frills,” off-road focused Wrangler competitor would be silly. A small SUV with strong off-road capabilities (even if not Wrangler-matching) and better value on features, MPG, and comfort would make a lot more sense, and is…

Put a normal person who would buy a crossover in a Wrangler and literally everything Andrew has said is true. They’re going to tell you it rides rough (it does!), the fuel economy sucks (it does!), and that if you want any kind of luxuries, it gets expensive fast (it does!).

I always love a little casual racism to start my morning. Because made in America or made in Europe means so much. Plenty of quality products come out of China. Plenty of shit ones do, too. This is true of any country, China just gets a rap because they’re full of manufacturers willing to do anything to meet a quoted…

I can feel the depreciation just clicking it.

You’re suggesting that no significant portion of players will obtain Adderall - easily the most abused drug in eSports - prescriptions on a sketchy diagnosis (that is, legitimately, but simply because getting such a diagnosis and prescription so is easy), despite the fact that millions of college students do so every…

In the NCAA, yes, caffeine is banned. In most other athletic leagues, it is considered acceptable unless there is a strong suspicion a player is actively abusing it.

The point is that what is considered “performance-enhancing” in eSports is quickly proving to be far more marginal than, say, professional football, and the range of completely legal substances that may be deemed performance-enhancing to an extent that is potentially significant is much larger and a total screening…

And you will have someone with a chronic condition who needs that medication to play without unnecessary and debilitating (and thus unfair) pain. Is it fair that they are essentially unable to compete because they have a medical condition? Especially when such a condition might preclude them from playing in regular…

And how far do we take this? No caffeine? No ibuprofen? No prescribed medications that could enhance performance? I’m not trying to be aggressive in my line of questioning here, but I think there is a legitimate concern that attempting to screen for this in a way that is both effective and fair is basically totally…

Adderall is a legal drug used to treat a number of well-recognized and at least one fairly common (ADHD) mental disorder. The notion that it could ever be banned as a “performance-enhancing” drug is ludicrous unless direct evidence of illicit receipt of the drug is found. Plenty of people take Adderall for off-label…

It looks like an Evoque ate a Macan and then barfed.

I thought that was mostly because the average Prius driver also likes to occupy more than one lane at a given moment.

I saw an article the other day that summed up this game perfectly: play non-stop for a day. OK, did you do that? Alright, you’ve experienced 95% of the game. The other 5% is a tiny portion of relatively unexciting content and an endless slog of tedium - just stop now.

I ordered my ‘16 club to this spec, can’t wait for it.

They are for sale. The build tool has just taken this long to go live.

I literally gasped aloud.

Mazda 3 Gen. BL: the official car of Paxil.

Who doesn’t love a Mercedes coupe? Seriously, Mercedes has a non-stop win streak with 2-door designs (well, except the C230 hatchback... which... no).

Agreed, Mazda’s system isn’t the best, but it’s pretty good, and the wheel / push-button for navigation is much more “driver-friendly” IMO than all the touchscreen + random buttons a lot of other Japanese OEMs are trying to push right now. It’s not amazing (my girlfriend’s system in her 3 crashes more often than is…

I think that’s a pretty solid evaluation. From what I’ve read, the Model S has its fair share of fit and finish issues, though most owners consider these “growing pains” or “quirks” - typical of the kind of person who is an early technology adopter, and they’re willing to live with them. Compared to a traditional car…
