This is the best article I’ve read on Jalopnik in a long time. Felt like I was reading a Car and Driver editorial. Thanks for the read, Victoria. Read more

This was a great review, more honest than expected. Read more

I want to love the Challenger but can not for exactly the reasons you wrote about. Very interesting review. Read more

I got the free upgrade to a Challenger R/T close to ten years ago (a bright orange one even). I had always dug the ‘70/‘71, and been enamored with the new concept car when it was announced, so I was super excited to finally get to drive one. I quite enjoyed it too. Having had Mustang and Camaro rentals, I thought the… Read more

As always I love the “stick to sports” type comments whenever a writer gets slightly literary or political.

America’s Ego - a 2010 Chevy Equinox where the back seats haven’t been cleaned in 10 years and it smells like Mcdonalds french fry grease, melted trail mix and wet dog but otherwise runs pretty good.

Your experience in the Challenger pretty much mirrored mine in 2017 - I liked the looks of them and once a manual-trans version was available at my local dealership, I went for a test drive. Couldn’t pull the trigger. Too big, the visibility is very much shit, and the steering is just. so. bad. Even the fun of a stick… Read more

Whenever some jackass drives by my house at 60mph on my 25 mph street, with a loud V8 screaming until the stop sign 400 yards away, 50% of the time it’s a Charger, 45% of the time it’s a Challenger, and 5% of the time it’s a Trackhawk. 100% of the time it’s a Stellantis product. Read more

My cousin is a tremendous shit bag and takes tremendous pride in his souped-up to obnoxious levels Challenger. Read more

I doubt dodge’s PR is going to see this, and one shouldn’t write to appease PR departments, but wow. Read more

I think the chargers place as a cultural signifier has been outdated for some time. Im not saying that it doesn’t represent some parts of the US culture, but the size of its relevance is shrinking all the time. Read more

hell yeah, I needed an excuse to listen to this

I have a 71 Westy and am honestly not at all against the idea of electrifying it. Speed and reliability are big pluses, but I’d want a little more range if I was going to camp even locally. If only the cost to convert was a bit cheaper. Read more

I live in the metro-Detroit area and just got a 2014 BMW i3 REX to go with my Outback. I think the combo is pretty great. The Outback is big enough to carry just about anything. The i3 is perfect for grocery trips and running errands, plus the REX removes some of the range anxiety fears and lets us go on some longer… Read more

I think you’ll be hard pressed to find a better two-car solution than this. A plug-in hybrid minivan and an NA Miata.

I heard you are looking for a perfect two car solution. Any questions?
