We all have to do our part. After all, there’s more to like from the 90's than just the cars.

Sounds like I struck a nerve.

That sounds like some straight-up Speed Racer, Laff-A-Lympics villain bullshit right there.

Some of these comments make me proud, others piss me off (you know who you are). Particularly the ones reliability-shaming David. WTF are you guys doing on a site called Jalopnik? Shouldn’t you be reading articles over at www.theresponsiblemotorist.com?

Awesome. I’ve been tracking your exploits on Twitter, so this is all old news to me. Still, I’m delighted you and the Willys are shutting down the naysayers.

Okay, so let me get this straight...on the one hand we have somewhat improved torque figures, but the same amount of horsepower as the outgoing generation. On the other hand, to offset those pluses, we have what will certainly be a higher curb weight and bigger wheels (rolling resistance).

Smart.

Only in a Jeep...er, Willys.

I prefer Stagea.

Good luck and bon voyage, stick it to all the haters! This is the perfect time to do awesome, ridiculous stuff no reasonable adult would try. Once you’re married, you have some flexibility, but when the kids arrive, it’s all over.

The settlement terms for Volkswagen should have allowed for a larger payout for customers who turned in their diesel and verified a purchase of a new hybrid or electric vehicle.

Your efforts are appreciated. Incidentally, your username is another possible mode of transportation for the poor bastard whose Chiron is in the shop waiting for Unobtainium from des Vaterland.

Jalop problems know no classes and do not stop being problems even if you’re famous.

WTF is the sorting criteria for comments? I’m pretty sure I was first and now I’m buried in the “Load More.” Do you know how many people are missing out on my attempt at droll humor?

It’s the Jetta Trek Edition for the super rich. I guess every day can be leg day when your Chiron is in the shop.

That’s okay, it’s mostly carbon fiber anyway.

That is a fair point. It’s been said many times, if you’re going to play the bean-counting game, do it where they won’t notice or become a problem. Some companies are better at this than others.

It absolutely kills me to admit it, but I think the Impala is a classy looking car. I just have trust issues, what with it being, y’know, a GM. Under every nice-looking part is a slew of materials that got the crap bean counted out of them.

Wake me up when they offer it with the 3.8 (supercharged if possible) again.

Fat bottomed tires, you make the muddin’ world go round

THAT is a handsome car.

I actually see a couple aspects that remind me of my dearly-departed 244.

Be sure and stop by in ND to grab this on the way:
