Weekend QOTD Roundup February 24, 2024

There are a lot of great cars on sale today, like the wonderful Rivian R1s, the excellent Volvo EX30 and the exceptional Hyundai Elantra N. But do you know what they’re all lacking? A dash of 1980s nostalgia, that’s what. - Owen Bellwood Read More

I am a lover of all convertibles; I firmly believe that chopping the roof off of a car transforms it into something special. But not all convertibles are made equal, so earlier this week we asked you to share what you think are the worst convertibles ever made. Being the worst anything is quite a feat, but turning a car into a convertible is no small task, so if you’re a manufacturer seeing this and you feel hurt, just remember you did your best. Or at least we hope you did. - Logan Carter Read More

The ’90s was a wonderful time filled with Britpop, “Friends” and the birth of roughly half of the Jalopnik staff. Do you know what it also had in bucket loads? Awesome cars. And while machines like the Acura NSX and McLaren F1 may hog the limelight, we bet there are some monsters from the 90s that have slipped under the radar. - Owen Bellwood Read More

Have you ever had an opinion? Judging by our comments, I think you certainly have. But have you ever had an opinion that everyone disagreed with? If so, you’re in luck: Today, we want to hear it. - Steve DaSilva Read More

In the early days of the automobile, headlights took a few different forms, none of which were particularly visually appealing in my opinion, but modern cars have incredibly advanced and intricate headlights that can turn with the wheels or even play a little light show when you lock and unlock the car. For those of us who personify our cars, headlights are usually your car’s eyes, and my Mini has big ol’ buggy eyes but I still love her. Whether you’re here to celebrate elegant simplicity or modern complexity, we want to know what car you think has the coolest headlights of all time. - Logan Carter Read More

We’ve all got opinions, but some of those takes are hotter than others. Sometimes we’re the only people brave enough to say the real truth, but we hope that others are at least brave enough to hear — perhaps, to even understand. Earlier this week, we asked you all for some of those hot takes, and today we’re looking through your answers. - Steve DaSilva Read More

In light of the little stumble EVs have taken lately, we asked readers what cars should never go EV. It turns out Jalopnik readers are more amenable to EVs than their car enthusiast loyalties would suggest, because loving cars isn’t really about pitting ICE versus EVs. It’s more about what makes a car great, no matter the propulsion method. - José Rodríguez Jr. Read More

The EV transition has hit a speed bump. Automakers are pumping the brakes on EVs, and governments are walking back ambitious EV timelines. In light of this about face, what popular legacy model do you think should never go EV? - José Rodríguez Jr. Read More

Sometimes it can be amazing to watch a billion dollar corporation put millions into developing and building a new car, and then fall completely flat when it comes to marketing it. From doing no marketing, and then wondering why no one bought the car (looking at you GM) to the subject of our post today, trying too hard and it’s just cringe. - Lawrence Hodge Read More
