If was given $100k and told I could use it to either buy this and a VinFast VF8 as my 2-car garage or get a few minutes of entertainment by throwing the money in a pile and setting it on fire, I would grab the lighter fluid and make s’mores.

Not that it likely matters much, but this is an AP1 sitting on AP2 wheels, so not 100% stock except for the stereo. I owned an AP1 2001 S2000 and it had the smaller 16" wheels as stock.

This was my mom’s first car some 60 years ago. Funny how some things never change.

Teens tick every box of a terrible driver: don’t signal, lack of situational awareness, drive way too fast or way too slow, tailgate, and generally beat their cars to hell within days of ownership. What is the one car that matches to that kind of driver in the most complete way possible?

If the sound of the premium system justifies the cost over the base system, I 100% agree with this. As someone who spent thousands upon thousands of dollars on premium aftermarket systems for multiple cars in my younger days, I learned there are several big issues commonly associated with the aftermarket route: reliabi…

I hear that EV charging networks are notoriously unreliable. If I had to think of a company that could get it right, the first one that comes to my mind would definitely be VinFast.

Those of us that keep our cars forever will understand this the most: pick the color you really want, even if it costs extra. Sure, it sucks that most automakers now charge extra for the “good colors”, but are you really going to miss that measly $495 upcharge every time you stare at your car for the next 15-20 years…

“...lived a tortured life for entertainment...”

If my kid had decided to do the decent thing and play a trunk-friendly instrument like violin instead of the damn cello like a weirdo, I would have one of these already. Great suggestion!

As a frugal spender and bargain hunter (those who know me say “tight wad”, but I digress), if I had to buy a car today it would be a no brainer: the Toyota Corolla Hybrid. I consider it an absolute bargain with 47/50/43 MPG and Toyota reliability for $23.5k. Honestly, with the Fit gone from our shores, it’s all the…

These Rabbit convertibles will always live rent free in my head as the “hot girl” cars of 80's movies. Take for example (a very young) Heather Graham’s character Mercedes in License to Drive and appearing in one brief scene in the awful ET-knockoff Mac and Me (featured in what I consider to be one of the best MST3K epi…

Was not aware, thank you for filling my knowledge gap. I should have done my homework before posting.

Ah, good to know. I was not aware of this. I retract my previous statement.

This is a real head-scratcher to me. Moving the gear selection to the touchscreen is not ideal, but why not at least make it an option to change the way it is presented on the screen? Instead of dragging an image of the car up and down, just have P-R-D buttons that change color depending on which one is engaged? It…

Could it be said that the same type of idiot that liked the G35/37 coupe also went for the Hyundai Genesis Coupe? Even John Krafci, the USA Hyundai president and CEO at the time, claimed it was built “...to deliver a driving experience that challenges cars like the Infiniti G37". So, are the Genesis Coupe drivers…

While the articles I read had pros and cons, they weren’t the same between reviewers. I think that for some of us that will never be able to experience cars out of our reach (too expensive, rare, etc.), it’s interesting to hear what those that have the privilege think of them. I can sit here at my keyboard and make…

It’s only a matter of time before Mercedes MBUX takes on a double-meaning as both an infotainment system and the virtual currency you can buy to unlock new features, or “experiences” as they will likely call them. Heck, the new Mini EV has a physical “experiences” toggle in place of climate control buttons, maybe they…

Has anyone in the Jalopnik staff actually driven the thing? I think it would be interesting to read a hands-on review by one of the editors. Several other automotive sites have posted reviews, and while most of their experiences listed many negatives, they have found a few positive things to say as well. Who knows?…

“Opulent Velocity” sounds like something that a random name generator would spit out, but after getting terrible names the last several dozen times you clicked the “refresh” button, you just go with it because your eyes are starting to glaze over and it’s past time for lunch.

When I was on work trips visiting my company’s sites in Guatemala, Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina, in addition to the beloved Jimny and Hilux, they had several of the VW Amarok in their fleet. Even though they are essentially a rebadged Ford Ranger, unlike the Ford they can be had with a manual. Why should the Tacoma…
