    Had a really loaded 2019 Jeep Cherokee come through at [large American car rental company]. Power driver and passenger seat, leather upholstery, auto climate, etc. Different from all of the other Cherokees I've seen there, which are pretty much as basic as you can get. Figured since it had almost every other option it'd also have the Pentastar v6. Reached over and revved it with the vacuum while cleaning it and heard the buzz of the pathetic i4. Piece of shit.

    Here is a problem with self-driving cars - this would almost certainly not happen in the US, but would be unsurprising in, say, China (coincidentally one of the biggest proponents of autonomous/electric vehicles):

    Say the year is 2030, and 90-95% of Shanghai residents own an autonomous car. Now, let's say some moron (probably Vladimir Putin) hits the wrong button, and there is now a 25-megaton warhead on its way to Shanghai. Putin makes it clear that he was in a coke-fueled frenzy and didn't mean to do that, so WWIII is narrowly averted - but there's still a missile headed straight for one of the most populated areas on Earth. The evacuation is going to be a shit show no matter what happens, so in the interest of reducing congestion, the government makes a snap decision: they will brick the vehicles of anyone with a social credit score of less than 450. So, if you bought too many video games at some point, you are now about to die in a nuclear fireball, because more "virtuous" people (read: people the government likes more) needed the road. Alternatively, maybe Russia did mean to start World War II: Episode 1, so Cheeki Breeki Vodka Boi hacks all the cars so nobody can escape.

    (Humorous side note: gamers really are the most oppressed group in the society in which we live. THIS POST WAS MADE BY GANG WEED)

    Clearly there needs to be some kind of legal protection in place so that this cannot happen.

    Honestly, I think Putin is smarter than that. Surely he's aware of what kind of repercussions that would bring, even if it was an accident.

    As if you could legally protect yourself from the government, especially in case of a nuclear war.

    The Santa Fe pickup truck!
    That’s what it looks like to me.

    I hate it.

    I absolutely hate it.

    The ugliest car of the year is still the new Hyundai Palisade......

    Designed in Minecraft lol. This is a crime to even try to make it reminiscent of a squarebody.

    Good lord. That is even more awkward than the Camaro. :eek:


    Even in Minecraft, you could build a front end more prettier than whatever GM is doing.

    I don't know if I would buy one, but I don't think it's too bad looking. I think it would look better if the top and bottom of the grill were the same size.

    Aren't all Chevy trucks somewhat reminiscent of the square body since the square body ended some more than others of course

    It has to be the ugliest truck of this decade. It is so horrific to even think of when you first see it.

    Well, go to the Autoshow in January and you’ll get to! I’m sure that it’s worse in person.

    I already saw the regular 2019 1500 in person, and it still looked horrible

    Same would go for this HD variant.
