Perhaps it’s on me for expecting better critical thinking from Jalopnik, but I cannot possibly express how disappointed I am that this is the party line this blog is taking. Toyota and others are not taking Trump’s side per se, they are advocating for a single Federal standard for safety and emissions. If you fragment

Ex BMW owner here. I still think they drive amazingly, and are generally good cars. But as they got more complicated, repair bills got more expensive. It got to a point, that I’d bring good donuts and coffee for the service department to make sure they were in a good mood (it worked).

To be clear, I wasn’t lumping Hyundai with Kia. The two companies are only 33% tied, and they have completely separate dealership networks. Hyundai has done much better to elevate its store experience than Kia has.

They are not German sedans, nothing depreciates more than that.

I finally learned that the sales guy who comes out first isn’t the one you have to stick with. There are many instances I can think of where I should have gone inside and requested a smarter sales person.

I think it has to do with the terrible culture at these historically lower end car dealers.

Indeed people will be suprised how the simple act of making an appointment can change their experience. This might be worth another blog.

I’m speechless, but with 36,895 comments, I haven’t always been speechless.  This post is the best prize ever!  Thanks so much, Andrew!

Shhh. The metric people leap on that stuff. 

The wording on that sign is not the best. Saying that they must turn is not as good as a simple halt command. Overheight is technical jargon that takes a few seconds for the average schlub to parse, it should really be a simple “Halt! Too Tall. Will Crash.” which is much more helpful because it is a lower reading age.

What, in your eyes, made the gunplay look horrible in that clip?

He’s using a god awful shotgun on top of being a newer player (lower in-game skills as well as know how).

The lead dev has stated several times that he wasn’t quoted. An old member of the dev team said this and no longer works for them after sharing their own views. It’s crazy how much this one article gets shared without looking into things.

I just hope the digital women that they are saving from this digital war are appreciative of what is being done for them.

Thank you! It's a work in progress.

Your guys’ photography has gotten several orders of magnitude better in the last year or so, for what it’s worth. 

Just wanted to say I always like your car shots - they make the car look good, but they also communicate useful information.

...and a Kia Stinger GT

Depreciation is Brutal on these. You can find a 2-3 year old one with 10-15K miles for $70K
