I’ve stopped doubting anything Christian says at this point. Somehow 100 employees with an autoclave in a repurposed hanger are able to consistently do what no other car company is attempting.

Just update this to a better diesel

Tyler is a Real American so I’m sure he’ll get to keep his job after Gawker is renamed Hulkster.com. He might have to blog in a yellow leotard and headband, but whatever.

Tyler, I absolutely love your writing. Please tell me you will still be employed after The Hulkster owns Gawker. I look forward to Foxtrot Alpha every day.

Played around on the GLA45 AMG configurator one day. WAY too much fun. Lots of toys you can put on that.

Shoutout to your wife owning a Golf R. Much respect brother. You chose wisely.

Really?!? You make the colors of your infographic neon green and neon yellow?!? You realize I’m tint blind right?? How in the hell am I supposed to know what I Must Clean and what I Should Clean? They’re the same damn color to me!!!! You’re a special kind of evil...

I am updating this post in real time.

Ford is still around...

I was unaware the the whole Pontiac “Wide Track” gimmick went back to the ‘60s.

A+ for catching that one. It’s always a sad day when I realize I missed out on a good (and cheesy) joke!

Sparks Nevada, I see why they chose to build there :P

Fake engine sound being pumped in through speakers, and the slow death of the stick shift.

I saw a BMW with its turn signal on once.

What is funny is I see one of them every few weeks. I catch up to him while lane splitting down the 5 towards SD from Oceanside, I end up following him for a few min until he pulls in behind someone and pulls them over. I can only assume he is catching Distracted Drivers, texting or on the phone or something...…

I’m pretty sure that most Americans don’t realize Audi = VW. Badge the VWs Auto Union. (I am also pretty sure, though, that the US would have to recertify anything considered to be a new model, so this might not be so simple)

Neutral: Here’s a wacky idea - what if VW, as a brand, decided to lay low for a while due to their damaged reputation, and made one of their other nameplates the public face instead? Like how there are no cars sold under the brand name GM, but their various divisions instead. What if America saw a “brand new”…

Who whould guess that an Audi R8 looks better with a Renault badge?
