I have a 7 year old Abarth, bought new. A couple of tiny issues, if I’m to nit pick, but Tony has gone broke from not fixing it once or again. Just do the maintenance, use the correct oil (very important) and give it the Italian tuneip regularly.

I already have it.

Well engineered, but with some small but critical parts made of cheap materials. the issue is that people expect everything to be a Corolla and don’t maintain the cars properly or skimp on repairs, and things spiral from there.

No one in their right mind would say any LR is anywhere near as dependable as a Land Cruiser. But then, practically nothing is...It sits at the top of the dependability game. But humans so love oversimplification of facts because critical thinking is hard, and context complicates things. Also, it’s much easier / more…

I see more Honda Element. Still like it. 

THIS.... JD Power might have have some cred at some point, but its current methodologies for acquiring data are deeply flawed. They rely way too much on owner surveys, which can and are deeply influenced by owner’s moods after visiting the dealer, and affected by things like what they had for lunch, whether they got…

I’m assuming that by ‘Weird’, you mean ‘Cool and interesting’...because if not, then most people are hella boring.

Needs more nostril.

Rant approved

I-6 not V6

But, but...THE STEREOTYPES!!!!...Don’t try to tell us that anything ever changes! Some of us prefer simple binary facts that our simple binary brains can handle easily!

I love it, in person and in pictures, but in 4-door guise it throws off some Honda Element vibes (not a bad thing).

‘Ring times are almost as useful as top speeds and the tow ratings of big dick energy brodozers.

I dunno about that. I’d say they look 995,00% better.

Nope, the current model is bad. Less bad after the facelift, but still a hot incoherent mess.

Hey I’m no blind ChryCo fanboy by any means, but you’re mostly listing  models that haven’t been sold in a while.

The Dart gets a lot of undeserved hate because A, it had a Dodge badge , B was named after an ugly boring car from the 70's, and C was killed halfway through its production cycle, which leads many to…

Always loved the factory monocle option on the MkIV Supra

I would say many Dodge vehicles just leave you, very quickly...(SRTs, Hellcats, etc)

Just Jalopnik misinformed badge snobs / arm-chair pundits who knee-jerk poo-poo anything from FCA.

They’re old tech and never a great car to begin with, but they’ve been in production so long that all the bugs have been worked out, and although it looks dated, it doesn’t look bad. You get a new, perfectly adequate and functional car with most of the modern features you’d expect, with a warranty for the price of a…
