20 years, David Tracy hides in a corner in the post-apocalyptic hell that is the United States of America. Armor-clad police march in columns down the street. Jim Spanfeller, having somehow failed his way into a role as Ivanka Trump’s Vice President, shouts over loudspeakers about beans. People writhe in agony on the…

All they need to do to make this car one of the new Cadillac CUVs is to

You drive a CTS-V and you think the Ioniq isn’t cool?

I mentioned this in an comment, but, you ever work at a company that’s kind of a shit show? There is always a few EVP and higher folks that are complete morons, just useless pieces of shit, that make 250k plus, and the company the first week of COVID fires 2 of your admin staff who make shit income ehh around 40 grand…

“everybody loves machines except Sarah Connor”

Whoever came up with that name is the type of person you meet at a dinner party and they’re a complete moron yet they make $380,000 a year. 

More truck hate from Jalop ... surprise surprise. Now let’s extend that hate to the perceived owners of said truck. Perfect. Fan the flames of a culture war and then sip expresso from my morally superior perch in Williamsburg.

But we can’t discount the fact that these sold well. For many people these were fine, and the money says so. There’s no arguing against sales when considering whether a design was worthwhile. The third row, the gas mileage, and the reliability obviously weren’t boat anchors. Sales peaked eight years after introduction.…

David Tracy buys cheap 2020 model. Proceeds to replace carburetor and brake master cylinders to prepare for Mojave desert adventures coming up in 34 seconds

I’m well aware of this. Mitsu was not a problem back then. Chrysler was pushing Mitsu away when Daimler brought them back in again.

This is one I dont get, Ive been a car guy for half a century and I really dont understand the hate for the Dodge Journey. No, its no Lexus but it doesnt cost the same as one either. I think it looks pretty darn good too, especially compared with the overstyled competition that will look outdated only a few years…

Should have said JC with a Pentastar is the best version of this platform, though I wouldn't mind a 3.6 Avenger.

The fish stinks from the head down.

Two major auto companies merge and you have “inside intel” that they’re planning an integrated platform with new products to follow? Who is the benevolent oracle and why have you chosen us to spread you wisdom?

75% of this article says exactly why it was a success: cheap versatility.

The MK wasn’t too terrible once it got a proper auto(though the rear suspensions will always make noise and the RF CV axle will always try to eat itself) and the JS was a decent sedan for the money after the FCA refresh, but the JS with a 3.6 was easily the best version of the platform.

They stopped believin’ 😥

I remember about ten years ago, I took my Wrangler to a Chrysler dealership for a recall notice. A very green salesman cornered me on the lot and tried convincing me to trade in my Wrangler for a new Journey. “They both go offroad, and they look the same.” It took every ounce of self-control for me to not laugh in the…

I have no love for this vehicle, but I think it served an important niche in the market place. Sales continued to rise long after its debut.

As an aging pensioner with frequent need to carry family and cargo, my 2014 Journey was a gift from above when I bought it used from Enterprise car sales four years ago. It had 25K miles on it and did everything it needed to do at an affordable price. Now its about to hit 114K and is still doing its job daily. Not…
