Maybe it’s time we started treating car thieves like real criminals, rather than giving them a slap on the wrist.  Stealing anyone’s car is going to cause that person a lot of problems, and when they are stealing so many of a particular car that insurance companies are dropping that make of car it causes problems for…

I’ve always loved the looks of the VW CC. And the VR6 engine is a bonus. If I were in the market for a 10 year German sedan; I could see my self going for it.

I am fine with flood cars being sold, less so salt water flood cars, but title cleaning should 100% be illegal.

They might not care about the cars, but they care about money... it’s way cheaper to have cars for sale than to have all of your cars scrapped, have nothing to sell while waiting for new cars, and also go through all the time and paperwork for the insurance company...

That’s mostly because a couple of generations ago, we downsized our rail infrastructure to a staggering degree rather than continuing to grow it alongside our population. Drive through middle America and every small town has an abandoned passenger railway station. Many mid-sized and larger cities have buried streetcar…

ALWAYS wear earplugs. Always.

I’m confident that the Z isn’t a “bad” car and I’m positive that Nissan dealers are playing the “I know what I’ve got” game. Personally I’m not interested enough to buy one; I’d rather have the Supra (or the Z4) in this class. 

Invest in earplugs, and never get on a motorcycle without them. Even the quietest helmets are still loud enough at speed to damage your hearing. Wearing earplugs doesn’t block you hearing cars, people talking, etc etc etc, but it does filter out wind and road noise, and allows the stuff coming in from that Cardo to be…

Are you suggesting there should be LESS safety regulation for cars because motorcycles, cyclists, and pedestrians exist?

It’s probably also automakers lobbying to squash any changes to allow minicars because they want to keep charging more and more for their cartoonishly large vehicles, safety be damned.

The ND is great. It’s punchy at 180ish HP (and short gears for torque!), but also lighter than the NC. And it doesn’t body-roll like you DONT want it to.

What does ND have that NC doesn’t? I probably should whisper it - it’s just a better sports car, and crucially, a better Miata. Now I’m gonna get killed.

They don’t need to make it bigger, they just need to make it more space efficient. I had a Fiata, there was plenty of wasted space in and around the rear bulkhead such that they could have made it so the seat would go back all the way or a even a bit farther and not be church pew upright. I had to get rid of it…

The new Z may be little more than a re-skin of the 370, but it’s a cool re-skin, and at $10,000 less than a Supra, it should have been a hit. Problem is, once greedy dealers got to work on the markups, it was no longer cheaper than a Supra, and at that point there was literally zero reason to buy one. Dealers are…

I don’t know if posting this take on Jalopnik dot com should be considered brave or asking for it, but best of luck to you. You’re gonna need it.

Using terrible Jatco CVT’s made of glass did a lot to harm their reputation in the 2000's. Our 120K 2013 Altima is on it’s third (first one under warranty, second one just out of warranty). 

Exactly...if Nissan and their dealers didn’t use that buyer pool to peddle mediocre products with predatory practicecs they could carve out a market.

Nissan really shit the bed on the 3-row SUV craze. They tried to get the Armada to command Suburban level pricing without Suburban size. The reliability of those V8s was truly the only value they had in that class of Monster SUV while trying to get the price of much better options (the same with Infiniti and other…

Meanwhile, Cybertrucks brick from going through a car wash. 😂

None of this makes any sense to me. I guess the complaint is that the fridge you get with your car (a ridiculous thought to begin with frankly...) isn’t good enough. But just.. buy a real one and not these plastic fantastic useless ones.
