FP gripe, somewhat philosophical to maintain the theme day!

"DC3 LS, will be perpetually replacing cars until the end of time" (dc3ls-)

Not really a serious gripe, just pointing out something silly in recent FP posts.

Given recent sentiments about how rich owners/expensive cars somehow lack authenticity compared to more modest means of transportation.

I think it’s somewhat ironic considering how Jalopnik has shifted from talking about cheap autocrossers you could buy for a pack of chewing gum and cigarettes.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

To reviewing the most exotic cars available. The most recent car reviews are.

Cadillac CTS-V Sport

Dinan tuned BMW M2

Honda Civic (Yay, chariot of the proletariat!)

Lexus LC 500 (described as a Japanese Aston Martin)

Lexus IS 200T

Porsche Panamera Hybrid

Toyota RAV4 (Yay a peoples car!)

Cadillac CT6 Platnium

Etc.

I’m not going all

“Repent of your sins Jalopnik or I shall no longer grace you with my clicks!”

I just find the irony so thick you could cast a Chevy small block with it.

The problem is that they haven’t run any Classic Reviews in long time, nor any reviews of their readers’ odd cars. They’ve become a bit more focused on new stuff at the expense of the slightly used and classic stuff that many of us actually own and can relate to.

I do have to point out, though, that the two recent posts that you linked were not written by actual Jalopnik staffers - one a Gizmodo staffer/executive? and the other being some random pretentious-as-hell Jalopnik reader.
