So, I’ve seen this a bunch of times and it stands out as odd to me. But it got me thinking. What would be the official cars of the Gizmodo blogs? (sorry for the bad screengrab)

Kinja'd!!!

I would say the following:

Kinja: Pontiac Sunfire (hard to look at, always broken)

Jalopnik: Miata

Gizmodo: Tesla

Deadspin: Honda Odyssey (mostly dads, past their glory)

Jezebel: Hard not to be a sexist ass, so pass.

Kotaku: Scion xB (appeals to nerds who pretend to be Japanese)*

Lifehacker: A modded and ziptied together Tdi that runs on biodiesel (total hack job)

Splinter: A bike as not to support corporate greed/ruin the environment

AV Club: Whatever their mom drives.

*I’m a gamer, but not really keen on JRPG’s and/or anime

I think Jezebel would be a base Lexus. All the blandness of a toyota, but with a little style.

I’m assuming The Root is in the same “not touching that one” category as Jezebel.

Oh, right, that would be a reading comprehension fail.

Kotaku. I saw this at the track

Even I don’t visit Kotaku much though, it’s not my type of place.

Interesting to see that car anyway, it’s got Haruhi Suzumiya on it.

Here’s a sort-of relevant Jalopnik post which covers this kind of stuff (don’t worry there’s plenty of cars without anime decals on there too).
