Staff Writer at Jalopnik. Dad. Lover of all things with 4 wheels. Weird interest in buses.

This is the 3rd row. I was going to include this but I didn’t feel like it was a good pic of it as far as showing leg room, which is what really matters. 

Right. Thats why I said that this shows that F really isn’t a stand alone performance thing with Lexus anymore. Especially if they are going the route you pointed out with this not being a full on F car.  Read more

We’re getting the iD4. The EQs are coming as well. Mercedes has decided against bringing the EQC here. I think it might have something to do with the poor sales of the Jaguar i-Pace and Audi e-Tron. Read more

Things make less sense when you take into account that there is a bus route that runs from the airport directly into that Metrolink station. I used to ride it in college. But I get not everyone wants to take the bus. But then there is also the Ontario Metrolink station. Its just three miles from the airport. Read more

Id bet good money there have been several design studies done by multiple engineers for at minimum, over a year now, before this pitch was made. Read more

Ha nope its a real place. Nice upper middle class city. Locals don’t actually say the full name though. We just call it Rancho. Read more

I think thats whats happening. Its doing well in Europe. But here, where if it isnt a Tesla it wont sell, its combo of high price and low range made people ignore it. it would explain the huge price cut they got for 2021. All the EV sites though drink the Audi kool aid and make it seem like its selling amazing. I Read more

With how the E-tron has been selling, I wouldnt expect the Sportback to even last long enough for anyone to even find one. Read more

You’re ok. My sis, who was a teenager at the time mind you, often thought that taking trips from LA to San Diego meant that we were leaving out of state.  Read more

CNET experienced it in a Badlands trim after just 15 minutes off road. Could be a preproduction issue or signs of a coming bigger issue. Just have to wait and see since the Bronco Sport just came out. Read more

Done. But based off last years sales numbers, the Sienna was third in sales behind the Pacifica. Chrysler is doing something right. But maybe that will change with the new Sienna. Read more

Yea that was my bad. The Odyssey has been outselling the Sienna a few of the years though. Read more

If its similar to the Veloster N, the N buttons pretty much max everything out. So it puts the car in Sport+ mode, stiffening up the suspension, opening the exhaust etc. Read more

Because Hyundai reliability/warranty/value > Ford reliability. Thats just me though. Read more

Cars in general. The technical stuff. Pricing, options all of that gets me going. But like I mentioned to someone else. My weird vice is buses. Ever since I was a kid. Im actually working on a piece that goes into why I love them and what buses I particularly like. Read more

I think so too. So heres hoping that means something. But I really do literally read every single comment. Its the least I could do. I look at it like this: you took the time out of your day to come and read what I wrote specifically. The least I can do is engage. And like I mentioned, I like the engagement and Read more

No bias with GM. I love products from them. The GMC AT4 models, performance stuff of course. Used to sell them at a Buick-GMC-Chevy dealer. But I do have nits to pick. Things like too much product overlap, EV plans that feel more rushed than thought out (Just look at how far at the releases of the Lyriq and Hummer EV Read more
