Well, maybe they got it right this time. Glad to hear it.

The 3.5 EcoBoost seemed to be nowhere close to the factory’s EPA MPG ratings. I am almost certainly ordering a car with a Ford Turbo, but it’s a car. Also, I am ordering if for power, not MPGs, so not too concerned.

An acquaintance who traded a V-8 2011 F-150…

How in the world does Ford get away with the reported mileage numbers for the EcoBoost? Does anyone get anywhere close to that in the real world.

I had one an an insurance loaner for a month a couple of years back and managed 16 combined (4 x 4, shortish bed, 4 door), which was mostly highway, admittedly with some…

I previously owned a 2004 Volvo V70 R as the other family car to the ever-present minivan, which I honestly love as a family hauler. We have an AWD Sienna (northern New England is largely Subaru country but I can’t stomach the butched up Outback over a proper wagon) that handles 99% of full family hauling. The V70 R…

I have an M coupe in the garage for super fun times, but since I need an AWD car that seats a family of five in a pinch (small versions of me are still small; plus we have minivan for regular family good times) and would like something fun for $40,000 or less, I don’t see many other new-car options. beyond VW R and…

Interesting...a religious wingnut who very selectively chooses which parts of his book about the fictitious big man in the sky he chooses to believe, conveniently skipping the parts that contradict his stand. Never heard that one before.

But Idaho doesn’t really give a shit about his crossing the border into Montana. They just want his ass licensed and his car’s ass registered in Idaho. This is purely a state matter and the 10th amendment covers Idaho’s right to revoke his driving privileges.

Fair enough. I am not interested in the higher center of gravity that exudes truckiness for a performance car. I already have one of those.

A car, not a fake truck, please.

If the manual rule (that I did not mention above; my bad) did not apply, then the upcoming Fusion Sport AWD with 325 Ecoboosted horses might not be a bad option, either. Maybe when I grow up.

Can you even get a manual in those cars?

Also, similarly equipped (NAV, leather Recaros, Brembos (an available Audi option?)), you are easily knocking on the door of $50,000, or $10,000 more than the Focus. I should have specified some price ceiling because, if we are talking cost no object, then sign my ass up for an…

Not a Ford guy here. Buying an RS here.

To everyone claiming that Ferrari is a publicly traded entity separate from Fiat/FCA, don’t forget that 80% of the shares are held by the same people that hold shares in FCA.

Fiat’s primary shareholder remains the Agnelli family, via the current leader John Elkann, who controls Exor corporation, which owns 30% of Fiat…

Uhhh... I don’t know about that. Saleen’s history is becoming more shady with each passing day. And there are a lot more cars with his name on them than Don Yenko ever imagined.

Also, the best Yenkos, the Camaro Super Cars, used essentially all factory pieces and many were assembled at the factory as COPO cars. That’s…

First the story moistens my eyes and now laughing my ass off at this comment does the same.

How long does it take to deflate a tire or two after that car makes contact?

Wow! Some Jalops really put on their “holier-than-thou” hats when this shit happens. Pitchforks and torches for all!

I, for one, hope that I have the option on my next car of not having a freaking iPad sticking up out of the dash or on top of it. I find that design direction to just be the worst.

No, she’s straight up African from the Gauteng province in South Africa. No hyphenated American for her.

Step one: Be paranoid!

If they had apologize, then they would have admitted being wrong. They are never wrong.

How is it that Takata has survived as on ongoing entity thus far? What else do they make?

Other then being floated by Honda (my best guess), who need them in the short term really bad to get things fixed, what else does Takata have going for it after this debacle runs its course—if it ever will?

I see a drunk Steve…
