Giving Thanks to the Automakers in 2014

Chrysler

Thank you for making a 200 that isn’t immediately relegated to be a rental car superstar.

Dodge

HELLCAT! HELLCAT! HELLCAT!

Ferrari

Thanks for letting all other automakers know you are so popular, that you have too many customers currently. We’re totally sure they don’t hate you for that.

Fiat

Thanks for the wild child Abarth and for suspending production on the 500L, even if it was just temporary.

Ford

Thank you for EcoBoosting everything, thanks for line lock and thanks for bolstering the expensive, complicated aluminum body repair industry.

GMC

Thanks for continuing to show how pretty Chevrolet trucks can be.

Honda

Thanks for being the sensible shoes of the automotive industry; consumers love it.

Hyundai

Thank you for redefining affordable luxury with the new Genesis sedan and for killing off the too funky Veloster.

Infiniti

A big thank you for not renaming your entire lineup again this year and teasing us with the Eau Rouge.

Jaguar

Thank you for adding AWD and a manual transmission to the F-Type and thanks for continuing to make cars that are louder than a dinosaur caught in a blender.

Jeep

Thanks for realizing the Compass was neither small nor adorable. The Renegade is button-levels of cuteness.
