Totally different. The Viper would be straight ass to drive on the street.

What’s with Jalopnik and bizzaro ad-hoc definitions of different segments?
If a 300 pound blue marlin can’t straddle the center console without interfering with the gearshift, it’s not a truck! It’s just a tarted up cozy coupe!

NO, this is Jalopnik, where snide engineers call children idiots and old men bitch about millenials and the transgenders.

True. But in this case, it would be harder than it sounds, and it STILL sounds impossible.

I’m sure for Toyota trucks, that warranty clause has actually saved a good deal of money. Imagine you’re at a high end dealership in Saudi Arabia, selling Toyota trucks. They’re an overnight modification and a day’s drive from being deployed as a technical. Remember that Texas plumber’s truck?

No? Economies of scale make grid electrical production even with fossil fuels vastly more efficient than internal combustion. Plus technologies for electrical production (solar, wind, hydro, nuclear, geothermal, etc) that would be impossible at the scale of a car are not only viable, but virtually free besides initial…

Check out The Saab Net’s classifieds. Plenty of gorgeous Viggens.

Hey, don’t worry. Soon you’ll figure this is an amazing time to be alive, and unlike the old men kvetching about change, you still have your youth left with which to enjoy it. No need to be bitter, just drive.

Maybe we should all collectively get a clue and stop buying cars based on their perception?

Maybe you should invest in one of those clip-cover phone cases? It sounds like you have a weird predilection for smartphone pocket acrobatics. Are you my dad?

Re: The Crosstrek, what the fuck did I just read?

I’ve literally never seen someone under 30 driving a Crosstrek unless it was very clearly their parents’.

That’s lovely. We could also make sure that people can get the education they need without living like ass for years and drowning financially with any misstep. Or we could all grow up and look back with rose tinted glasses.

Germans get a pass for their ludicrously overbaked design language, but the NSX gets ragged as not simple enough for having a wholly aerodynamically functional design (save the beak).

I think you miswrote. A detuned GTI competitor would be an ST competitor as well, not an RS competitor.

If you watched the video, you would understand why they used the VH engine. The regulations in their principality mean that a motor with an LS-size displacement would have to stay naturally aspirated, whereas they can run a smaller V8 with FI. They also recognize that neither is a strictly better way to make power,…

Turbo Yoda actually points that out in an episode. They had a hookup for a custom fabricated inlet manifold but it was proving to be too logistically difficult, so they went with the stock one. He says it’s a strange design because it looks transverse, but it is longitudinal.

As much as this is a white-gay-men-yelling-”YAAAAASSS SLAY ME QUEEN” tier brutalization of black slang (which this happens to be a pretty tongue in cheek joke about), you’d think from the reactions of the white commentariat here that Orlove burned an American Flag. This reminds me of that SNL skit. White people who…

This is goddamn hilarious, Orlove. Don’t mind the boomer-gen haters. They’re not woke like me, I understand you.

The Audi allroad that starts at a similar price is a strictly better car now that they figured out how not to make it eat itself, although you’d probably have a lot less content.
