Travis, thanks for stopping by! I’ve got a couple of small questions for you:

I agree with you, and I’m a massive Cadillac fanboy. I think it really comes down to detailing and material choice. On the C-Class, there’s nice detailing and trim around the little inset pieces like the seat heater controls and door handle, whereas on the Cadillac they’re just set in, and the lack of detail makes it

think of the GT2/GT3 as their own 911 sub-series. In racing, you have GT classes, with GT1 being the most radical, GT2 being less radical, the GT3 being less radical than the 2, and so on and so forth. The GT2 is a GT3 with more power (via turbos) and less weight, a less-compromised suspension, etc.

Ahh, yes. Similarly, when I see the new Miata, I pine deeply for a Scion tc.

I think the Koreans are a problem for them at the moment, perhaps, but are more of a short-term product. Cadillac has been churning out decent products for less than the Germans for about a decade now, and it hasn't worked for them. now, their plan is to put out products that can stand directly against the Germans,

So realistically, we're looking at a difference of closer to 400 lbs, and if GM cuts that down to 200 lbs using a modified existing passenger car platform and building to a budget, I really don't think it's that bad. My point was that cars of this design are large, and built to today's standards, to a degree, you

When I was looking for a car, the list of stuff I test drove included, but was not limited to:

The SLS, on its own, dedicated, we're-making-a-supercar platform weighs what, 3,700 lbs?

He apexed early, and had to lift to try to correct. He's in an Audi, not an old 911, so it won't instantly murder you if you don't have pro-rally-driver levels of commitment.

Around here, it comes down to two things: snow and insecurity. We got two substantial snow events over the course of this winter (and when I say substantial, I mean 6" of precipitation or more) which really isn't that bad. A good set of snow tires will get literally any car through it, yet there have been plenty of

I don't know if I'd say that. The GXPs with the 5.3 LS4, wider front tires, and better dampers seem to do pretty alright. Having owned a W Body, they're a big rear sway bar away from surprising.

Same here. I'm curious to see how many people move off the waiting list.

The event is already sold out. Crushed I can't go.

I'm glad they're following through with their promise of a weight drop, and everybody saving it's not going to be fun because of the weight can suck it. With any luck, I'll be buying a 1997 Z3 off my girlfriend's dad in a few months, and that thing is a blast. With a full tank of gas and a driver, it weighs a little

That is true, you could easily go from 2 SKUs to 12-16, but at the same time, you're reducing assembly costs by not having to prep/paint those parts. Even if the additional panels caused a small price increase, they'd still be a selling point of sorts, because unless the panel gets cracked, it's easily fixable.

The Gen3 Beetle needs to be as rugged and worry-free as possible as well, and the way to achieve this is to give up a bit of conventional aesthetic constraints. The bumpers, for example, should be unpainted black rubber/plastic. No factory option for paint. The bumpers are there to do a job, and if you back into a

That article is a poorly masked, sad attempt at pushing the author's zero emission, eco-friendly wet dream. Feminism, at its core, is about equality for everyone, and racism doesn't line up with that. However, making the argument that a show is anti-feminist because of two things one host of the show said is

For these two, you can even go to the same dealership:
