“nobody actually wanted small sedans and hatchbacks”
Honda, Hyundai/Kia, and Toyota would beg to differ.

Shit man, I once hit an Aztek head on (don’t ask), tore the shit out of the front end of my car, didn’t even damage his. I was driving an 84 Crown Vic, BTW.

Hot take: The Volkswagen Concept One.

The estate will have to pay.

I guess. I still don’t hate it.

This will serve as a nice palette cleanser after all the horrible cars that will get posted. This would have made Buick look young and hip much better than commercials with millennials saying “that’s a Buick?”

Every vehicle that’s going to be named in the comments is a bad take and here’s why: We should at the very least, respect every car that’s not boring AF to behold. CrossCabriolet was weird and ugly. Aztek was fugly, but it didn’t look like anything else on the road. It wasn’t just another commuter capsule. I…

Just like to state for the record that I adored my 2011 Mazda2. Put almost 60,000 miles on it from new and I deeply regret trading it in when I did. It was light, handled well, had an economy-car interior that *wasn’t* depressing, and I thought it looked damn sharp.

Honda HR-V, the dumber, costlier, more overstyled Fit that usurped the original from the US market. All that was really needed was some plastic cladding.

DMX and Prince Phillip were always so competitive. From rhymes to stage presence to funerary transportation.

FWD Monte Carlos. At least they crammed a V8 in the next gen blob-mobile, but I hate that one too. Every jackass redneck in my tiny ass town growing up coveted these piles of garbage. 

But the Pacifica Hybrid is much, much more efficient if you plug it in.

I still vividly remember spilling a 44 oz Coke in the passenger footwell of my 300ZX. This was about a year or so after I bought the car, so the spill would have been in 1997.

You mean the built in taco holder?

Max Volume at Startup. Chevy has had this for a few years at least but it is absolutely incredible and should be mandatory. Rocking out on your ride home with the radio cranked? The next time you go to start the car you won’t be blasted by the volume still being up.

The little overhead flip down to put sunglasses in.  Whoever came up with that is a genius.

I always loved when power window switches have two levels of “click”. The first level is normal operation. The second level requires a harder push and express opens or closes. Simple but useful. I think BMW or VW invented this, but it’s becoming commonplace.

My Viper has extra wiring from the factory in the rearview mirror specifically designed to connect a radar detector.

Awesome! Can’t wait for the review!
