What can be done about these terrible click-bait “news” headlines? It’s just awful. A high school newspaper has more accurate headlines. Personally, I’d like to see news organizations that do this banned from being shared here if the poster uses the canned spam title with the post.

Maybe there is a news instance that doesn’t allow this. I’ll be outside shouting at clouds.

It was absolutely rigged. You could pass or fail it depending on how you drove. I agree they were high center of gravity and didn’t handle well. So were many other vehicles they passed.

I don’t agree with a test that is dependent on the driver. They could have easily failed the Ford Explorer if they had driven it like the Trooper.

It’s a shady organization.

Isuzu Trooper mentioned! Consumer Reports did them dirty with the rollover test rigging. Really hurt the sales. Glad to see them on the decline as a reputable information source.

Yeah the spare parts are an issue for less common vehicles. I was getting some Trooper parts from Australia before the tariffs messed that up for awhile. Really a shame how many cars are scrapped by insurance. Cash for clunkers not allowing parts to be sold also didn’t help much.

That’s exactly what drove me over here a few days ago. After they locked the API up and boost stopped working I was just browsing the website occasionally. Lemmy is cool so far, just running into a worrying amount of pro-Russian propaganda mental gymnastics. And of course not as many speciality subs yet. I wanna chat about project cars but the largest car community here are those fuckcars loons. Not fun people to be around.
