Because there are drawbacks to chasing 50 criminals who specifically drive high-powered cars through city streets.

Suzuki’s been burned, but I’m kinda suprised some other manufacturer hasn’t imported the Jimny under their own brand. Car manufacturers do this sort of thing from time to time. I bet Honda could make it work. They once sold a rebadged Isuzu Rodeo as the Honda Passport.

Unfortunately “Strict crash-test regulations” in the U.S. means vehicle occupant safety is the only metric. Worldwide, (or at least in the EU) there’s also a consideration called “pedestrian/vulnerable road user safety standards” that the U.S. simply refuses to acknowledge. 

but it’s never likely to pass our strict crash-test regulations.

Nail, meet head.

I’ve wondered this too. Which specific crash regulations couldn’t this pass?

“Bringing the Jimny to America could end up starting a cheap off-road arms race, but it’s never likely to pass our strict crash-test regulations.”

I can’t wait for the show to run headfirst into the proverbial train station wall that is Very Expensive Show meets Diminishing Returns meets David ‘tax break’ Zaslav meets Half the Old Audience Won’t Be Watching Because Joanne Is A Tool

The reasons people leave Hoonigan, and Donut are exactly the reason people leave Jalopnik and G/O. 

I work in entertainment, and this is one of the realest and truest things I have heard someone in this industry say:

Private equity kills everything.

“Won’t somebody PLEASE think of the transphobes!”

Just imagine how fucked WB’s finances are that they’re still hanging onto doing business with her.

Ya, maybe a small metal stick, with unique profile that only matches a special hole on the car. You could carry it in your pocket, just in case.

If only there was a way to open a lock without electricity...

So wait... what’s the process for getting into your Tesla if the 12v battery dies? 

I’m bringing you out of the greys to tell you how wrong you are.

My ‘73 Cutlass Supreme can do the same thing. The massive power steering boost makes the car feel dead. I’m sure the same goes for that “truck.”

You don’t have to put your beer down that you’re holding while turning.

Maybe I’m stupid, but what was supposed to be so amazing about using one finger to turn?
