Hey, don’t hold back with the metaphors- throw them all in the blender!

This is classic slimy salesperson talk, assuming all the people trying to play the slimy game are also assholes. How much energy is it to quote an honest, competitive price on the phone or online? Many callers and emailers don’t want to be in the spider’s web, playing the spider’s game. Give me a price I can…

So buy the Buick.

Should I hold off on the Subaru transplant for my Vanagon?  I can cerainly wait until next year!

I have a Westy that needs work, but I can dream.

Great photos and discussion of the challenges. It always seemed doable to electrify an old car, but just the batteries are improving hugely, let alone the motor and drivetrain. Which may partially explain the slow, clunky adoption of the big car companies. 

I would curb rash that so hard!  Would that take away from the look?

It’s hard to call a million dollar car a production car- the orange begins to resemble the apple.  But theoretically it is street legal and will provide entry in the obscenely expensive hypercar club.

Still no wagon?  Still I curse.

It’s all nonsense cloaked in his needy false confidence, but underneath it is the weak and only justification his toadies could come up with to justify rolling back mileage regulations: namely that better mileage comes at the expense of safety. It’s a terrible argument, but no worse than the gymnastics done to justify…

It still seems weird not to recycle seats, windows, batteries, etc. Oh well, if they had to be entirely scrapped, I would have parked the shit out of those cars!

3-2-1 until someone attacks you for suggesting more roads and freeways are a bad idea.  Yep, there it is.  I love driving; but new ideas and methods of commuting are needed.

Urban sprawl and land use development is inextricably attached to freeways- new or expanded freeways allow for more sprawl because it then becomes tenable to commute further.

Could you get a few more shots with the Golden Gate Bridge?  Because every car ad ever hasn’t done that enough.  Go further, like out toward unwelcoming and unsigned Bolinas.

Polish all the turds!  I like this idea, but needs a Torchinsky render to better imagine how cool it could be.  Next up, an Aries K car.

I voted nice before I realized it’s an automatic- for this kind of plaything?! Sacre bleu!

Exactly! It’s also not overpriced for what it is; it’s certainly cheaper than the Maclaren 570, and what is with all the discussion of taking cars to the track? I suspect most Jalopnik readers, like me, are freaky into cars, but have no intention of taking a car to a track. Fer crissakes, people criticize the 4 door…

While that really is a stupid design feature, the whole thing looks more like the other Land Rovers and less like the old Defender, i.e., more suited to a Kardashian than the needs or style of an offroader.  That, combined with price and terrible dependability should send anyone to a Toyota.

Agenda much?  There is nothing wrong with gun ownership, but they are deadly, and most people don’t want continued gun violence.  If we can prevent gun violence, no one would have an issue with ownership- limits on types, better limits on ownership or registration, and responsible ownership campaigns would help, as…

It looks like the company is taking a measured approach, letting the NRA be the pitbull. Their approach is just to sell more guns, regardless of, well, anything. If a sociopath buts a gun, hey, it’s another gun sold! And then we push guns as the best solution to guns. It’s all more sales.  And a delicate line for…
