The Lexus engine is fine and will probably last three times as long as the one in the Audi. The Audi is a good looking exception in a hideous generation of German cars, but it has been back to the dealer twice, the last time with four issues at once. I'd take the Lexus in a heartbeat provided I can fit in the back…

I apologize for calling you delusional. It was over the top and I'm sorry. I do not think it is merely a matter of perception that makes so many Chrysler and Jeep owners return to the dealership in a tow truck cab. I worked as a service writer in an all makes shop in the mid-2000s and some car companies were decidedly…

You're pretty delusional. Try out True Delta. Michael Karesh would love to tell you that Chrysler builds decent cars, but he simply can't support it with what owners experience. I've had first hand experience, and still do thanks to a company Magnum with a loose front end, slipping transmission with no dipstick, and…

Cimarron? V8-6-4? HT4100? Northstar? Diesel? Seville MK2? Allante? XLR? 1985 Deville? Cadillac mostly makes mistakes.

Great is an overstatement. I test drove the Genesis 5.0 R spec before leasing an A6 and it was more like a Charger without any torque than it resembled any sort of luxury car. OTOH, it didn't smell as badly as a Genesis 2.0T coupe's interior did in the showroom. NFW I could buy a car that smelled like that.

I drive a 2012 A6 and being better than a current 535 just doesn't mean as much as it did 25 years ago. When we were shopping this spring the A6 was best in a weak class of embarrassingly chintzy gin palaces. Maybe we should have waited for the new GS, but I've heard that the back seat of the GS is too small and that…

Fire Escape, crappy dual clutch transmissions, Sync and MFT issues, loose grounds on Fiestas, Mustang 6 speed transmissions... Ford is still Ford.

The F50 was blessed with a naturally aspirated engine.

I think number 9 is a Saab Sonnet III, designed by Sergio Coggiola and slow as a Saab.

Really? You really can't put it together for yourself? That's why there are still people who might vote for him.

Audi's rally engines were also 2.5 liters? I don't think so. They displaced 2133 cc, which based on a forced induction multiplication factor meat the cars could compete at the weight of cars with 3 liter naturally aspirated engines. Do a little research when you don't know what you're talking about, please!

THANK YOU! The 'people' that devised and approved of the recent commenting revisions should be relieved of their air privileges. What a burden they exert on the earth!

It reflects inflation of 50% from 1995 to 2012. Our government's economists have fudged the CPI to hide the effects of printing 44 cents of every dollar they spend, but at some point it matters that we're spending more for almost everything that we actually need.

Before Bangle, people tried to design attractive cars. He changed all that. What an achievement!

The NHTSA now exists to sell UAW products, not protect the public.

I've bought three first model year Hondas/Acuras. The only FMY problem yet was that the dealer put the state inspection sticker over the climate control's external light meter, which I suppose they'd have learned not to do on someone else's car if we'd waited. There are car companies that don't treat their customers…

In the case of American cars with small, turbocharged engines, ask what the loaner policy is for the inevitable immolation recall event.

If you can talk someone into buying a Suzuki, you can talk them into anything.
