Personally, i have a good opinion of Nissan. The first brand new car i have ever bought was a 2011 Nissan Versa, which i paid $11,600 for. The car was awesome. Was it cheaply made? Absolutely. Did it admirably perform it’s duty of reliably getting me from point A to B? Sure did. I traded it in for a brand new… Read more

Another unusably fast, unobtainably expensive supercar that will almost exclusively be purchased by middle eastern oil barons and stored indefinitely with delivery miles in a sealed warehouse. The writeup/article is good and I don’t want to discount that, but man it is hard to care about new releases like this. Read more

This is one of the best articles I’ve read on here. You’ve hit the nail on the head. Read more

I bought a 2023 Nissan Rogue. External cosmetics are gorgeous. Interior is FAR nicer than the RAV4 and Subaru Outback I rented. Electronics are excellent. The 3-cylinder Turbo is very fun to drive - too soon to speak to its longevity. Gas mileage isn’t as good as I hoped, but ok. All for 32k Out The Door. I would… Read more

I had a 2002 Nissan Altima. The manual transmission went out at about 30K miles, and it took three months to get replacement parts from Japan. Read more

The new Z may be little more than a re-skin of the 370, but it’s a cool re-skin, and at $10,000 less than a Supra, it should have been a hit. Problem is, once greedy dealers got to work on the markups, it was no longer cheaper than a Supra, and at that point there was literally zero reason to buy one. Dealers are… Read more

I don’t think that there’s anything inherently wrong with the concept of offering some inexpensive cars and extending credit to people who might not otherwise be able to purchase a car. In fact, I think it’s a great idea. Read more

I think we are overthinking this. It’s so obvious a caveman can see it. “Nissan no sell many car, because Nissan car no good.” They got comfy making crappy cars that their dealers would then push to sell to anyone with a pulse that could qualify for a 14% apr 86 month loan. This has been their MO for decades, there is… Read more

If Esquire really thinks that purple’n’bronze Maser is fashionable, all its taste is in its corporate promo boot-lickin’ mouth. Read more

Mansory taking offense and criticizing someone else’s choice in vehicle modifications unlocked a new level of unawareness above influencers, so there’s that. Read more

1987 Mercedes-Benz AMG Hammer

In 2022 half the Buyback/Consumer Retention purchases of Stellantis were 4XE’s. Wrangler and Grand Cherokee customers often didn’t know how the vehicles normal operating procedures were and thus the ‘BuyBacks’ we see in the market. That and the post Covid soft hybrid market have made them very cheap. Look for $12k+… Read more

WHAT IS THIS? A bz4X FOR ANTS? Read more

The Mustang from Bullitt. The movie is awful* but the iconic car chase is just... bad. It’s like the much-mocked fight scene in “They Live” in that it goes on WAY too long. And in the end, it’s really just wedged, does little to advance the plot, it’s clearly there because the star wanted it.

*Yes, I’ve seen it. I… Read more

Wait, so you’re telling me these ‘help me buy a car’ posts come out long after the prompt has been submitted and the car has been purchased already? Well, there goes my immersion :P

HONDA ELEMENT. Supposedly a couple recent Honda patents suggest they may be working on a new Element.

Hi all - Aiden here - I did end up getting a really good deal on an 09 Fit Sport with 55k miles and it is the perfect car for me. I absolutely love it. Thanks Jalops! Read more

I work in entertainment, and this is one of the realest and truest things I have heard someone in this industry say:

I wanted to come back to this article, as the one who wrote the letter to Tom, and provide an update. I doubt anybody will see it, but here you go. Read more
