What you don’t say, and I think it’s pertinent data, is that this is only 3.1 inches longer than the original 2007 GMC Acadia.

It’s a lame story so they had to stick something utterly stupid as the headline pic/gif so we can bitch about it. They get more traffic. It’s a win win for them.

It’s a tax, plain and simple. Hang whatever BS you want on it, once the government starts collecting the money, they never want to turn the spigot off. When they say “It’s for the environment, the ducks, think of the children…” at the end of the day, it’s a tax. And tax money was the reason to do it in the first place.

I think you are just proving that money does not mean you have good taste in cars.

You may be the first automotive journalist in history to imply that the Plymouth Prowler is somehow a “Supercar”.

I think I would have used the picture of the Lamborghini in the header of the article.

This rag is amongst the liberal EV ‘shove it down our throat and like it’ agenda, yet you consistently slam the largest and most innovative EV provider.

Nah, Jalopnik just hates their readers. Always telling them which cars to buy, and gearsplaining why their habits or the car they currently drive are the wrong choices.

I’ve been following Jalopnik since 2004, and even though many of the writers have moved on to other endeavors, I still read it. It’s my go-to sight every day, and I get a kick out the commentors who complain about your “non-car stories”.

“man, it’s kind of weird how there are hurricanes in Southern California now.”

There was no hurricane in SoCal. Fake news. 

“Why wearing a mask in alone in your car fights racism and creates equity on the road”

“climate change, urban sprawl, alienation and other fun topics”

You’re gonna have fun, and I’m gonna have fun… We’re all gonna have so much fucking fun we’re gonna need plastic surgery to remove our goddamn smiles! You’ll be whistling ‘Zip-A-Dee Doo-Dah’ out of your assholes! I must be crazy! I’m on a pilgrimage to…

There is no question C02 levels have increased a lot since 1880, but it was dangerously low, lower than for ~90% of the Earth’s hisotry.

without reading the article, no. Jalopnik doesn’t hate cars. They do hate car people though! That’s evident in the fact that almost no car people work for Jalopnik anymore. They also hate good content, hence all the listicles. Jalopfeed

There’s a lot of ignorant sentiment in the comments that a compact EV is a valid replacement for a family with a 3-row SUV because they cost the same.

Some facts here. Passenger cars amount to ~17% of human emissions. That works out to about .0068% of the CO2 cycle overall (man’s emissions comprise about 4% of the phenomena; 96% is from nature). The observed rate of warming in the scientific record is ~1C for each *doubling* in concentration— its log curve, not a…

Jalopnik seems to hate capitalism. And you need capitalism to manufacture (safe and enjoyable) cars as the process is so incredibly labor and capital intensive.

It certainly seems that you do sometimes. Maybe cut back on the motorbike stuff, and cut out the pushbike stuff entirely, and it’ll stop seeming so.

Jalopnik has its moments about hating cars.

The thief taunted police by tossing jars of Grey Poupon out the window as he drove. 

AM was once the official spectrum for emergency broadcasts and especially, civil defense. The reason: greater broadcast range than anything else the average person has access to and dirt cheap and simple.
