It is reminiscent of older Jalopnik articles that actually had substance to them. 

yeah, cause a 3400 lbs front wheel drive sedan surely has the same driving characteristics as a purpose built rally homologation special that weighs 400 lbs less.....

I don’t think he’s suggesting it should be free, I think he’s saying Tesla shouldn’t be making it this difficult to request a refund or unintentional purchases, or purchases that a buyer quickly realizes they don’t want. I can call Amazon or Apple and get a refund for software purchases in about five minutes. Tesla

“I don’t want your fancy technology and opulent screens” he said, as he typed on his thousand-dollar portable computing device. He pined for the days where arguing on the Internet meant nobody in the house could make a phone call, and the bulbous monitors were 800 pixels wide as God intended.

Lexus confuses me. I’ll admit that I understand the appeal of the RX, it’s a well built CUV and has a long reputation for the brand. This can maybe extend to the NX but I have no idea who is shelling out for a UX.

You’ve actually managed to make the original design attractive by creating a mockup that looks absolutely atrocious. Good job! That’s certainly one way to make us like the new styling.

And that design still looks stupid.

The fact that I’ve seen one on the road from when it first came out and not one actually being driven since says it all. All the style, none of the substance of the original.

I’ve been driving a Kia Optima for a little over a year now, and it only smells like french fries.

How many Mexican restaurants have you been to?

This has “military town dealership” written all over it... 

His true reward was the friendships he made along the way :D

That night ended in a blown up 10 second car and some buster had to drive the best race driver both sides of the Mississippi home only to be rewarded with someone else’s already opened beer. 

. . . one guy held the prestigious job of “get arrested pretending to be the director.”

why didn’t thye just use their cars to block the street and keep the cops out?

I like it, looks 80's race prepped and if you were going racing would you really want an Italian engine in there? I think Australia would show a strong case for race class motors from Holden. Not a crack pipe project, but a nice one off. 

It’s really interesting and relevant to the story to see what the car originally looked like. At least a commenter had the good sense to show us. Shame it wasn’t included in the poorly written irrelevant rant above. SMH

In college in Eugene, Oregon in the 1970's I almost bought a VW Brazil based Puma. The seller was “motivated” and I remember having it for several days to drive. Excellent fit and finish and did not feel like a part bin car at all. I drove a Peugeot at the time, so I was very open minded regarding cars.

Of course it is. It's Brazilian.
