It is reminiscent of older Jalopnik articles that actually had substance to them. 

It’s like what a Honda Helix wants to be when it grows up.

I just want to say THANK YOU for not just stopping the article after you learned that the myth was untrue, and actually digging in and answering the next logical question that readers would have. It would have been very easy to just write another hundred or so words’ worth of fluff and then call it a day, but you went…
