The smooth lines from the late 1990's to the mid 2000's are aging really well.
I often find myself brownsing the local classifieds for this era’s big coupes.

I stopped counting the number of articles that says that “X car drives so much better than it has any right to”. Why wouldn’it have the right to drive so well ?

It was funny the first time, and it was driving the point home.
Then it was kind of funny the third time, a bit less so by the fifth time, and eventually…

The downside is that everyone remembers the E46 as a good-looking-if-a-bit-bland car, whereas the G20 is a not-quite-attractive-bland car.

That’s a shame, but the writing had been on the wall for a while.

The new V60 looks sweet though, and will probably be a bit cheaper than the 2020 3 Series Touring would have been.

Besides the new Volvo, the gorgeous Jaguar XF wagon, the perenially good E-Class Wagon, the nice affordable Golf Sportwagon and the Audi…

Also probably to be able to turn a profit while still abiding by the “low-volume” part of the “Low Volume Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Act of 2015".

Is that a french license plate ?

“it’s clear that they aren’t going away any time soon. So maybe it’s time for a rethink on what truck buyers actually need”

Imma stop you right there.

Where have you seen any consumers buying what they actually need ?

A large number of people living in McMansions roll around town in full-size SUVs and have three TV…

Really ? I didn’t know that.
And how do they reach the opposite sidewalk, genius ?

When you’re in town, you’re where people live. There are no reasons why a motorist should have any kind of prevalence there.
To make things easier for everyone, there are rules as to where they should cross the read, and since it would…

That’s bullshit.

Especially in places where there are a lot of people, pedestrian should be given priority? Do you see the difference between a city street and a highway ? Because if you don’t, you shouldn’t be driving. I mean I get that you’re joking, but so many people act like driving how they want is a God-given…

Selling car by weight wouldn’t mean the lightest would be the cheapest, would it ?
I’m pretty sure 5 pounds of Lotus would be worth a lot more than 5 pounds of Corolla. Kinda like an ounce of organic, hand-milled, british flour doesn’t cost the same price an ounce of el cheapo GMO flour.


Furthermore, why would it be…

WTF, the car going off the cliff doesn’t even look like the one in the chase. I mean, they’re black hearses, period. The one that explodes must be 15 years newer than what it was supposed to be !

So you think if people get run over it’s just their fault ? That’s nonsense.

I get that sometimes a pedestrian just comes out of nowhere and the driver can’t do anything to avoid him.
Oftentimes though, the driver could have avoided him, even if it’s the pedestrian who is at fault.
And then there are times where the…

Learn something new everyday I guess.

In my neck of woods, some stores have started offering self-checkout lines, but they tend to be bug prone, and you can only use them if you carry less than 10 items. What’s more, people generally shun them because they view it as one more threat to unqualified jobs.
They seem to…

As a matter of fact I didn’t, but as a Toddler I didn’t bring any junk in the car, so my parents took care of their stuff.


And believe me, we had an MPV with five removable seats in the back : there were a lot of tracks, which never got clogged with crumbs or crayons. We did routinely find a few dimes and quarters in…

I agree the pedestrian protection score shouldn’t weigh so much in the final mark, but your argument is really short-sighted.

Their are blind and deaf people crossing the streets, old people who can’t walk fast, children who won’t look before storming off of the sidewalk. These people do not “deserve to be hit for…

I’m mindblown.

In Yurop (well, in France anyway), you’re supposed to bring your own reusable bags, otherwise you buy some at the department store. Plastic bags have been banned for ten years or so, I remember people whining about it in the beginning, but since then everyone took the habit of just keeping a few…

I don’t get that argument. Neither I nor my siblings were allowed to eat or bring crayons in the car, thus we never filled the nook and crannies with junk.

Even then, if the car got messy, our parents had us vacuum it.

This patent seems legit usable (I’d rather it were manual rather than motorized, to ensure maximum…

Wait, you have baggers ?

Like, you don’t put what you just bought in your bags yourself ?

No, I stand by my point.

Do you think people buy Miele steam-oven or Aga ranges because it excites them so much more than a basic run of the mill oven ?
No, they buy those luxurious ones, loaded with so many cooking modes they won’t even bother to learn more than two because they think that since they’re so much more…

Thanks ! That’s the kind of thing I love to come to Jalopnik for :)
