This bad boy is an allegory for everything that was ever wrong with the American automotive industry: plastic fantastic, bloated FWD platform, hideous design and the shameless NASCAR tie in.

OH MY WALLET
2000 lbs LESS??? He typed incredulously. But... NOTHING* weighs that little. The Mitsubishi Mirage weighs like 1996 lbs. Confused.
(hardly any car, especially with four doors)
Dat wood mmmmmmmmm. Like it's from a boat.
Wat.
If you've talked to a Chrysler PR rep in the last five years, they'll be quick to point out they're not a luxury brand — even though their advertising suggests otherwise. That confusion will go away as the brand positions itself as a mainstream brand alongside Honda, Toyota, Ford and Chevy. A new 100 compact sedan…
The 6-speed manual gearbox, undoubtedly, salvages the day (as well as the score), and by all accounts is the transmission of choice. As with most manuals, it livens the driving experience up immensely. So, unless you adore watching Jeopardy, buy magazines for the crossword puzzles, and generally enjoy a dull,…
Torque.
Speaking (writing) as someone who is (almost) 23 and has gainful employment. Cars on my "considering" list:
E39 540i sedan (because no 6speed for the wagon)
Jaguar S-Type 4.0 V8 supercharged
2nd generation Mini Cooper S
1981-1984 300CD (in cherry red with a wood-grain wheel)
A big-body just about anything on air bags
Jeep…
Please do.
Jalopnik is a car site that generates a lot of traffic and is capable of creating enough buzz to be mentioned on television news, to be enlisted to solve vehicular crimes, to have question and answer sessions with engineers and designers, to be invited to press events and auto shows, to be occasionally loaned very…
Morgans are built the old way, the way cars should be, by craftsmen not on assembly lines, but in workshops. Which is why the latest special edition of the Morgan Plus 8 is so goddamn fantastic. Sure, it's got the latest in aluminum chassis development, but a belt holds down the hood. Enter the Morgan Plus 8 Speedster.
I don't know man, I (6 foot 2 inches) sat in the driver's seat of a new CTS at an auto show, made myself comfortable, and then sat in the seat directly behind it and I still had (by my own definition) plenty of room. I don't know, maybe it's because I don't think I need room to stretch in a backseat and/or I don't…
There are currently small fins on some models (The CTS I'm pretty sure, I forget exactly what else) that end at the top of the tailights. They kind of drag from the C pillar to the end of the vehicle. I believe the most prominent ones are on the new ATS coupe. Check it out, a lot of Americans think it's mighty…
And that the back seats are small. It seems to me that almost everybody drives with their seat slid all the way back and because of this most people complain that there's no room in the back of any car.
The beady little eyes of incest.
WHY DOESN'T ANYTHING FOLD FLAT ANYMORE? #ruined #donthavethemoneyanyway
WHY DOESN'T ANYTHING FOL FLAT ANYMORE #donthavethemoneyanyway
In America out tractors redline at around 2200 soooo...... I don't know what you are talking about.
In all seriousness though, these low revving American engines have the craziest torque outputs. In a land of low speed limits acceleration and growling noise reign as king and queen.
