I’m pretty certain Jalopnik is now just reading the published specs for height and ground clearance, and if they meet certain thresholds, tall = bad, short = good. They could probably develop some software to write these little opinion pieces. Just feed in the new vehicle’s specifications, a couple pictures and in a

Lol....next he’ll tell us no one wants half ton pickups either.

Ugh...another "look how edgy I am" non-article from Jalopnik.

Calling yet another wheeled box “instantly forgettable”...

They are bringing a car that literally everyone is asking for. The segment sells 4 million vehicles a year. Doesn’t make it an exceptional car, but one that will definitely boost VWs sales figures. 

This is an Erik post, after all. Shitty journalism is his brand.

the Taos shares the same platform as the Tiguan and Atlas

So. Like. One night we have an article about how amazing the Mk7 GTi is and then the next night we have an article shitting on a new small crossover from VW. Without even, in any capacity, reviewing the car or what it’s like inside or even what benefits it may have.

It might be the BETTER way, but what’s better in the eyes of your employer? A minor visual misalignment of lugs to spokes or not getting the business for millions of Subaru wheels?  

As a wheel designer, I’m fairly certain anyone at Enkei who saw this went “Oof. Okay then.”

What if teddy bear?

Not really, it's a noticable bit.

Dude, just stop. Even if you make it run, you will die trying to off road this pile of weakened rust that will disintegrate on the first pothole.

Truancy officers in lower-income/predominantly POC communities will put the parents in jail.

Is that what it’s asking you to do? By that question I mean, “is this what came up for you personally when you read it?” If so, is there anger there, shame, resentment, etc? Those are things worth sitting with.

I have the same rage, for nearly the same reasons. The pandemic stole my family from me in almost exactly the same way as you outline above. 

Predominately black school and America is racist as fuck.

I think I’ve typed some variation of this comment and then deleted it on several posts, but damn.
