Lexus needs to stop trying to hide the capability of their body on frame SUVs. This is America, the land of the $80,000+ luxury truck.

The GX/LX only fit your criteria after you chop off 4 inches of front bumper...

My assumption is that lowering the actual headlights on a taller vehicle allows them to extend the headlight cutoff without blinding oncoming traffic as much.

Newer cars are safer, but people are also keeping cars for longer than ever. Think about how many 90s/2000s vehicles you still see on the road. Every vehicle has gotten bigger, but people are also buying more trucks/SUVs than ever. The last 20 years of cars has also been generally good/competent so its much easier for…

With every new EV release*, the Mustang Mach E not only looks better but also makes more sense as a naming convention.

Most modern cable actuated manual transmissions can have a short shift adapter and metal bushings installed onto the shift plate for like $100 and an hour. This was the single best mod for my Fiesta ST. 

Halo/343 ruined it for themselves by ruining their fun core gameplay with skill based matchmaking in every mode. In general, people want to play fun video games with their friends. Having to play every match like it’s MLG tryouts is not fun for higher skilled regular players and being thrown in as cannon fodder every…

None of this matters if they don’t change their skill based matchmaking to let players have fun and fix their netcode/servers/desync issues. 

Ford has all the brand recognition in the world for trucks. If the average consumer asks whoever they think knows the answer whether they should buy a Ford Truck, a Honda Truck, or a Hyundai Truck, the answer is 99.9% Ford.

Car companies don’t expect things like the GR Corolla to be significant profit centers. They make things like the GR Corolla because they’re cool and that gets people talking about the brand.

Mashing the pedal to the floor and driving in a straight line is not the point of the GR (or STI or any other hot hatch).

This, and it hits the hot hatches/sport compacts so much harder than luxury brands or special editions sports cars.

The current GX is basically built from the factory to try to cover up that it’s a body on frame truck, hence all the body work.

None of the C8 wheels are good. Granted, if you can afford a C8 you should be able to afford new wheels but come on Chevy

Pretty anything with multiple spoke shapes and/or alternating machined/black painted on the face. The original FRS wheel are bad. The C8 wheels are bad. A lot of Honda, VW, and Toyota wheels are bad because of this.

What? 

In before all the shrieking about articulation and approach angles:

You could find plenty of nice used examples for $13-17,000 all over the place, but I haven’t checked since COVID broke everything. 

Fiesta ST and a set of snow tires. Fun, reliable, good gas mileage, not so fast that a 16 year is instantly over their head, and plenty practical but not big or comfortable enough that he’s regularly transporting more than 1 other teenager.

Hatchbacks FTW
