It’s a ricey Integra, with the absolute worst color combo anyone can have on a car - red and yellow.

Why don’t automakers replace manuals with something like the transmission in the Toyota GR HV concept?

I really want to turn my Charger R/T AWD into a PHEV, but more for the performance boost and “cool future tech” aspect than the fuel economy improvement.

The owner’s manual for my 2014 Charger R/T with the 5.7L Hemi calls for 89 octane. It says you can run 87, but performance and fuel economy may decrease.

So what they’re saying is that the 7.3L is leaving a lot of power on the table, and either super/turbocharging it or staying N/A and upgrading the heads/cam and increasing the compression ratio will unlock the engine’s potential.

Can confirm. My commute takes me through some ghetto areas, and I've seen plenty of Chargers and Chrysler 300s in those neighborhoods.

It’s a race until the checkered flag. Regardless of how far off the pace you are, you should be racing your ass off until the finish, and your opponents should be doing the same. No preferential treatment either way.

Jesus, that looks like a catfish.

Last I checked, cops NEVER pull anyone over from the front. They’re always behind the vehicle, where they can easily see the rear license plate.

The Camry's fake vents are so distracting that I didn't even notice the extra vents Photoshopped on to the mid-engine version.

Pretty sure almost every single Giulia QF that was reviewed by the auto media outlets had problems. The disturbing thing was that a lot of them weren’t the same problems, so it’s not like there was just one flawed component causing issues. Some cars had differential problems, other had ECU or sensor trouble, others…

Maybe they were tired. They should have given the drivers some Rich Energy during pit stops.

Stand by for Jalopnik’s next headline:

“The Eagle has landed."

This would make a great first car for someone’s teenager. Clean, low mileage. Slow enough to not get them in too much trouble, open-air fun with the convertible.

The car looks great minus that stupid-looking spoiler. Hope GM (and the aftermarket) provide different options to cure that.

Not the first time buying an Alfa has put somebody in dire financial straits.

Off topic, but that metallic red (“Soul Red Crystal Metallic” is Mazda’s official name) is one of the best red paints available on any car for sale right now. Just beautiful.

“Tuner culture”

Fair enough. The 2020 Explorers weren't out yet when I did these test drives.
