Most exciting moment? Surely Tiger Woods owns at least one Buick.

Does Obama even know anyone who is competent?

@oyumurtaci: I think they were group A homologation specials, and that the Escort RS Cosworth was in fact a reskinned Sierra 4x4. I'm not sure how cheap either were. I guess the measure of the Focus RS' rightness is whether or not they're raced or rallied in similar configuration. I don't think that is the case. The…

@oyumurtaci: Here is the FWD Escort RS Turbo from :59 on the tape:

Sam,

@oyumurtaci: The Escort RS2000 was also a FWD car, and about as coveted as the Focus RS will be as soon as it isn't unattainable.

At slashdot SW actually posted his problem with his latest Prius. When he is accelerating from 80 to 85 mph, he toggles the accel button repeatedly rather than using the gas pedal and the set button. Many accel buttons only increase speed in 1 km/hr intervals, so he is flicking his numerous times. At some point, he…

Crack pipe.

A base Corvette with the 6-speed manual would cover all the bases and return 30 mpg on your journey. Buy a flex fuel sticker if it doesn't.

Porsche might introduce an actual sports car? Oh no! What a disaster. I was hoping they'd graft 911 styling cues onto a minivan, or maybe onto a backhoe. Just when it seemed like all Porsches would be winners like the Cayenne and the Panamera, they threaten to make another stupid sports car! This is an abomination and…

@Thomas Paladino: It will depreciate the same percentage in the next two years as it did in the last. The only problem is that I think right now its actual value is closer to $60K.

Clever? I think any designer could craft such a solution when liberated from demands for visibility and attractiveness.

Could Wozniak be a bigger douche? He's so green that he owns a parking lot full of hybrids and eats a village worth of organically grown food a day. He's the good ship hypocrite.

I wanted to vote nice price just because I dig Scouts and this is a clean one. Unfortunately, the price is 3 grand above the next most expensive Scout I can find for sale, and the one for which $5,500 is being asked is a 345/4speed, which sounds more better to me. [sandiego.craigslist.org]

@tayaya: Mitsubishi has been shafting Evo owners for years, but you didn't let others' misfortune guide you either. My experience with Nissan is that they're the worst on the market in meaningful numbers here in the US. Anything with a turbo is purely lease material though, and should be left completely stock until…

@Baby beater Benz: If there is a way to make the user interface less graceful, gawker will find it.

@FromaBuick6: Maybe because they were about the only big-3 cars of the day that one could count on to get to work in for 8 years or so. They were American Camrys.

@danio3834: The Datsun 510 was a BMW 1600-2 knock-off in most ways. [en.wikipedia.org]

@The Dead Inside Grp. Co. Ltd.: Wow! Thanks for finding that ad. Just what I've always wanted in a trunk lid. Holes!

@danio3834: A company with the might of GM couldn't have reverse engineered a BMW like Datsun did?
