I love me some

Yes, power is just energy/time. The point I was getting at was just that a lot of people I know think they could care less about an engine's torque curve, and focus on what the peak power is, and don't realize that whether you're making lots of torque and transferring it slowly, or transferring a little torque really…

Peak torque is fairly useless without being able to see the whole torque curve, but the same could be said for horsepower. The Ram is at the far extreme of the spectrum, making wild torque, but it can't rev high enough to continue making all that power for very long. At the same time, if you have something that revs…

You do realize horsepower is just a rating of how much torque you're generating over a set time, right?

Have you, I dunno, driven a post-refresh one on a windy road? I have, and while I didn't push it to its limits, at 6-7 tenths, it does admirably.

The truth is that I actually developed the Beetle. I think. Anyway, I like the way Torchlopnik is going, keep up the highly entertaining work!

Mr. Stielow,

I'll be very interested to see how this turns out. Personally, I prefer the pre-2014 look, and in about a year or so I should be in the market for a low-mile used 2013 1LE. However, if GM can come up with a handsome looking car on the Alpha platform, they'll get me in the showroom.

People have been saying for a while now that the bowtie is outdated, and I modified the center of the front bowtie on my car. Can we get the flowtie put on all Chevrolets? It looks cooler, and is functional to boot.

Screw it, call it the STD so I can tell people it clings to the road like herpes, and never lets go.

I really want one of these now. Assuming the 6 speed/awd can hold the power, it wouldn't be hard to leverage the existing Abarth aftermarket to get one to around 200-240 hp, and with a lowered, starched up suspension, you could have a fast, efficient awd hatch a manual, and a removable roof! It'll sound the…

Woo! I'd take that, hopefully we get it here

As someone who didn't like the Compass, and is lukewarm about the Cherokee still, I like this. The important question for me, at least, is can I get it with the Abarth turbo 1.4? Funky styling+tidy dimensions+rude Italian pipes=something I would consider driving. With a stick, of course.

I'm going to put this out there, and while it may not be the most popular opinion, it's the best definition of a supercar I've come up with. I think a supercar is the pinnacle of what an automaker can produce for the street. A supercar conveys the maximum performance, technology and road presence a company can package…

It's not the absolute best deal, but for the current GT500, $55,110/662 hp = $83.25 per horsepower. The price is still good, and you're definitely buying in bulk.

Strict fuel economy standards do breed innovative new technology, but all that new technology isn't free. I'm all for increased efficiency, but I don't want to pay for all that hurried development at once.

Compensator Edition: just add this

Holy balls. I normally leave my phone on vibrate, but I may have to change that strategy.

So you're saying I'm a moron based solely on population density? That might make some level of sense if the transportation infrastructure wasn't scaled to fit each population. In fact, sections of interstate in West Virginia don't actually support a sufficient traffic flow rate, so we didn't have less of a problem…

Facts you say? I like facts. I also like graphical representations of them:
