Mack Hogan is Jalopnik's Weekend Editor, but you may know him from his role as CNBC's car critic or his brave (and maligned) takes on Twitter. Most people agree that you shouldn't listen to him.

Thanks for spoiling us. If qualifications are to be postponed, I want to find out live. Read more

You’re an image obsessed, blonde, sorta-housewife living in one of the most expensive locations in the country. Your house is literally on the beach and is probably $5 to $10 million dollars. You DO NOT drive a Buick Enclave.

Oh, I am going to get flamed.. but here we go... nearly every James Bond Movie. James Bond is a secret agent that is trying to convince people he is not an English spy. Nothing says “not a British Spy” like a highly unique and customized Aston Martin.

I thought the Buick Enclave that Madeline drove on Big Little Lies was slightly out of character. I just don’t see the filthy-rich slumming it in a Buick. Read more

Burton Buster’s blueberry on Psych always drove me a little nuts.

The Audis kinda suit him, I think. The weird NSX concept car, on the other hand... the hell was that about? Is Tony Stark so rich that he literally drives one-off prototype cars around?

I know this might not count since they were the cars instead of driving cars, but I’d nominate just about every Autobot in 2007's Transformers movie. Read more

I don’t know if it is truly the WRONG car, but we absolutely need to have a conversation about the fact that Brad Pitts character drives a Karmann Ghia in “Once Upon a Time . . . in Hollywood.”

The various Lexus in “Suits.” Here we have these take-no-name badass lawyers, being chauffeured around in the wussiest possible geriatricmobile. With the constant “L” logo being splashed everywhere, it’s clearly product placement. Read more

BTW, in Mad Men I always thought it was funny that Don’s aspiration was a Coupe deVille, but “old money” Roger Sterling only drove Lincolns... Read more

I’m a former super-spy who’s trying to keep a low profile in Miami while also not spending a whole bunch of money, I need a car that doesn’t draw a crowd, can be used to transport people or things easily, and, most of all, blends in with its surroundings.

The S.H.E.I.L.D agents in The Avengers (in a small break from Marvel’s usual Audi-fest) drove modded Acura MDXs. Yes it was product placement and yes the looked cool, but really? A Suburban or an Explorer or something, maybe. But an MDX?

A while ago, I watched the movie Geostorm and was very disappointed to find that the main character did not drive a Geo Storm. In fact, not a single character in the movie drove a Geo of any sort. I didn’t even see any in the background. This makes me sad.

Off topic, but Mack, I want a “what car should I buy?” With You, David, Raph, ND Jason. Just a whole bunch of bad takes, it’ll be awesome! Read more

Lucifer Morningstar in the series Lucifer drives a C1 Corvette. Come on. What he should really be driving is, of course, a Lamborghini Diablo. Now some might say that’s a little on the nose because of the car’s name, but Lucifer is shown to be a rather flamboyant character. And there are few cars more flamboyant than Read more

Even when they weren’t shooting for Goldeneye Pierce Brosnan’s face clearly said “what the ever-loving fuck?”

The Ford Mondeo (Focus?) that James Bond drove in Casino Royale.

Holly Hunter is the size of a wood sprite, so the back of an I-Pace for her is adequate.
