When the James Blonde movies came out, ostensibly to make a “more realistic” story, I really wanted someone to “reboot” Die Hard from the perspective of a dude in a diner watching the story of the Nakatomi Tower hostage situation on TV.

Dear Jalopnik,

I take this comment as "why don't you write an article about every time you get an honest, straightforward answer from a dealer?" Um, because no one needs advice about that situation. :-)

My friend had to call them after a dealership reneged, and they immediately got the problem taken care of.

I’ve done that, HYundai is basically ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If your interaction with a dealership goes as described in this article the next step is reporting them to their corporate masters. Hyundai does not want stupid shit like this happening and will come down hard on them.

If over the course of several hundred deals thoughout the year MOST dealers get it right and have no problem sending out the door prices, even on out of state deals...the problem is not the “complexitity of the system” if a FL dealer refuses to send a quote for a Florida customer, especially when their competiton can…

This is ridiculous. I’ve been in the business since 2003, and transparency is key to establishing trust. About half of our new and used sales stems from E-commerce. 

15% premium on a $25,000 used car trade in is 3,750.

The clear answers would be to get something like this. Get an Arteon R wagon for style and practicality. its quick with 300hp and easily modded for more if thats your thing

No, all of those idiotic travesties that are performance SUVs should be banned because they are dangerous to others and pointlessly destroy the environment. Fuck these things and fuck everybody driving one one of these assholemobiles, not just the asshole on my street.

Hi everyone, Justin here. First, to answer a few common questions / concerns - Yes, I’m a clearly a moron for considering this; no, it’s not a manual; I swear upon the secret list of brown manual wagons I won’t ever end up in a Honda Pilot; and I have no need for and no interest in a full size truck.

Wrong Mercedes SUV. The guy lives in Texas, so you need to crank up the level of absurdity.

Fuck “performance” SUVs. That thing is horrible and should be banned. There is one just like that parked in front of my house and the owner from the other side of the street is exactly the kind of arrogant asshole dickhead that his vehicle suggests he is.

Justin, may I humbly suggest a Volvo V60. Sleek and safe. Not as fast as your SS, but you’ll make due. An an MB wagon owner, I can vouch for that recommendation too. Wagon all the things!

Justin has been enjoying modern American muscle so far, so he’s going to be happy with another future classic that’s fast, American, and a wagon.

HSV Maloo or get out

This is a nice looking Chevy SS. I have been seriously toying with the idea of importing a VF Commodore SS-V wagon.

I’d only care if it were a manual. He doesn’t say that it’s not a manual, but I think if it were a manual, he would have mentioned it.

A supercharger for your SS.
