5.) 2004 Volkswagen R32: $16,768

I think my sarcastometer is broken. Really can't tell if you're being serious or not. I work in IT and have friends who are mechanics. One of the things we agree on is that the people who bring the worst problems into our respective shops are the ones who have no idea how to operate their car or computer. Take care of…

I actually owned not one but two of the "FWD mustangs that never were." One had a quirky SOHC 3-valve per cylinder 4-pot mill that was decently balanced and could be coaxed into lift throttle oversteer. It was much better than the Probe is generally thought to be. The other contained the ubiquitous vulcan V6 and…

Civic Si... Complaining about the looks... What?

Hmm wonder how this would do marketed in the USA for private use? A bunch of people who bought the PT Cruiser and then replaced it with a Chevy HHR would probably go for this. Hell give it a manual and keep it in the 20K-ish range and I'd bet dollars to donuts my mother would pick one up.

I love me some straight 6. Bimmer guy, cue douchebag accusations. But I have to say Nissan has never been much of a purist company with regards to the I-6 vs V-6 thing. I'm sure there was much collective wailing and hand-wringing from the Z car faithful when the z31 came with V rather than inline 6. I know I shat…

Funnily enough I just saw footage of Clarkson driving the R34 and claiming it was like a video game, so much for putting the predecessor on some sort of purist pedestal.

RX-835 where?

I, for one, await our new (relatively) inexpensive, manual, rear drive sedan overlords.

I agree that the 2002 did seem to have the upper hand at least on the first run. Not too surprising. The consensus among bimmer faithfuls seems so lean toward newer cars being less tail happy and more understeery. Is that a word? "Understeery." It should be.

Did not expect a Dead Milkmen reference this early in the morning. I like this, in spite of once thinking the 2nd gen was the body style to avoid. Then again I formed that opinion over 10 years ago. How things change.

I never said I didn't want one (x90) but I have a thing for malaise era through 90's cars, I tend to have a good sense of humor about the vehicles I like being the "cream of the crap."

AMC Eagle Sundance... at around 200 not the absolute rarest but certainly one of the weirdest low production cars I can think of. If anything it could be to blame for Suzuki thinking this was a good idea.

I find a sudden compelling need to seek out one of these.

Darn, beat me to it. This was the first thing that sprung to mind for me as well.
