Musk lied. Color me shocked.

This would be an interesting article but enough with the damn PopSugar-style slide shows. Is Jalopnik traffic so bad these are needed to generate extra page views now?

Not if you vote with your wallet and refuse to buy a car that doesn’t offer CarPlay or Android Auto.

Right? Satellite radio is like the worst of broadcast Top 40 of the olden days, except maybe even worse with the same core songs on over and over again. And some stations even have bullshit banter and/or DJs. No and no.

Something extra that didn’t come with the vehicle is one thing, but it’ll be a cold day in hell before I buy a car with once-standard features built in that require extra cost or a subscription at some point, like heated seats.

I like the design vibe much better than most current vehicles, and it’s breathtaking compared to the misshapen baby Belugas wearing the Tesla badge, but it could be simplified a bit. I see more faces on this thing than a Picasso painting and the plug door is really an eyesore.

In concept Toyota has some great ideas, but if they could serve them up in a container that wasn’t eye-searingly hideous, they’d really be on to something. I am fully aware that 50% of Americans have their taste in their mouth, and nowhere else. But if Toyota could serve up this exact same vehicle in a fun-looking…

You don’t appreciate only being able to utilize one-quarter of your screen for actual content? And you want it to load properly? Sheesh. Some people just want everything.

Looks fun. I appreciate the low-fi graphics but think tail lights that really let you know what car you’re driving would make car nuts fall in love with it a lot faster. And not modern stuff, but something fun like a 1968 or 1969 Bonneville that would be graphically simple, keeping with the design aesthetic, yet…

The massive steering wheel really balances out the design, making these far better looking than their full-size counterparts.

Merka!

It’s really a dramatic presentation but with climate change ratcheting up the severity of storms with ever-increasing wind speeds, the damn thing might actually take flight again.

Yeah, I had to NP this one. In real life I’d rather have one really good one plus zero carcasses, but when’s the last time you saw a Bricklin? I’m picturing it in a stable full of garage weirdness alongside a Zimmer Quicksilver.

This is Genesis’ first turd.

5th gear - There were spies, but they have all now retired.

Then when Karen and Brandon roll over the 96-payment loan two years later, and again 8 months later, the 3 row, 9-passenger, 6 mpg land trawler gets repossessed, followed by the shame of not having 6 cars in the double-driveway of their shoddily-constructed three-story, 4 car garage McMansion.

Poker Face is a great show completely on it’s own, but the often overlooked second generation Barracuda is certainly the cherry on top.

Isn’t that one more staff member than most buses currently require? Although I can see as society continues to unravel, one person won’t be able to do the job for much longer.

This movie has the potential to be great fun IF the writing is there. I guess they had to go with the more recognizable Corvette in stereotypical pink, but this was always my favorite Barbie car because I got to play with a high-mileage example when I visited my grandma on my dad’s side out in the country.

This is an ugly look for Ford and Tennessee. Sic Dolly on them!
