“Journalists will be there and, if they’re worth a damn at all, they’ll be asking hard questions.”

Also important to remember, it’s not just the snow that calls for winter tires— it’s the *temperature*, too. It could be dry as the desert on the ground but when it’s below freezing, those summer tires are just as lousy.

All he needed to do was not be a Muppet and put the right tires on the car before driving in the winter. Summer tires should NEVER be driven in wintery conditions, period. They turn into ice skates. On the proper tires, this thing would have been just as controllable as any other vehicle - especially with modern-day…

Between this and the recent announcement of a couple of electric crate engines that hook up to manual transmission cars, I’m more optimistic about electric than I am ICE with automatics/DCTs.

I think the problem here is that you can’t actually market this thing to people who don’t know about cars. There’s no wool-pulling. It’s not like the Urus (I finally have an excuse to drive a Lambo!) or some heritage-laden tweedmobile (Careful with the Jag, darling).

Lots of car names became famous to normies for…

Okay....

Editorial assignments...

Jalopnik, figure out how to blame this on Trump.
Jezebel, put the blame on men (in general).
Root, use this to put white people on blast... give “Preowned Patty” what-for.
Kotaku, think you can spin this around on the transphobes?

Honestly, just more analog vehicles in general would be great, some of us actually enjoy driving.

Ingress/egress, lack of F it money, and much more stringent safety laws all conspired to do us in :-/

Nissan is doing the best Mitsubishi impersonation I’ve seen yet! Which is based on Mitsubishi’s impersonation of Isuzu.

Except CVTs. I expect Nissan to shove CVTs down every throat they can

It boggles my mind that there are people who buy cars with electrical release mechanisms for the doors, and don’t IMMEDIATELY do research to locate the mechanical fail-safe, which even the dumbest of common sense would tell you existed SOMEWHERE.

It boggles my mind even more that people refuse to read the manual for…

I love these people. There used to be a cars and coffee gathering at a grocery store I would hit early on Sunday, and I’d see the first arrivals as I was leaving. There is some money in my area, so Ferraris and Lambos would be present along with your typical 911s, M cars, etc. But what I loved was the dude with his…

Good, because I am hoping to pick up a V60 T6 AWD in Denim Blue 5 years from now.

Bring it on! In my opinion, Kia/Hyundai/Genesis is one of the bright lights in the industry at the moment, and I look forward to see what they bring to the market in the coming few years.

Hey guys, remember when the Forester was actually cool?

It’s like catching up with a friend from college who now has 3 kids, no sleep and drinks Michelob Ultra once a month to “loosen up”. Subaru, what happened friend?

I hate how nice this looks and I hate how I kinda want one.

You forgot that speed-holes and a short-ram intake produce far greater gains.

I liked it better when WRC cars looked like they were only a paint job and a roof scoop away from one you could actually buy.
