At least it was just a Red Label instead of a potential donor for a BMW engine swap.

Agreed. That's what I thought too. Probably a GLS model with wheels like this one:

A friend of mine from college is a senior engineer on the i-phone team and he would probably say the same thing! There will be a cost for using our corrupt courts to harm foreign competitors though, and it will be paid by US companies abroad. Will Apple be one of them? Maybe, but only if the i-phone 5 is good enough…

It seems interesting that three of them are made in Thailand for the Australian market and the VW is made in Argentina.

Interesting timing for this story, what with Apple trying to hang onto the US cell phone market by any and all means possible in the face of the Galaxy S3's world domination.

I haven't been in a current Versa, but if the print magazines are to be believed then it is the worst car on the market. That would make it about as far from average as possible.

Great photo!

What are the odds of genuine cops encountering genuine diplomats? I guess each party thought the other one was an imposter.

That's an entirely regressive tax that fucks the poor, just as every other green policy is intended to do. If the middle class can be eliminated and the poor can be priced out of food and energy consumption, the world will be a much better place for Obama's $20,000 a plate dinner companions.

You're very astute. I lived in Manhattan for almost five years.

Over-thinking shit is a rookie mistake.

You are completely uninformed, or more likely intentionally misinformed. The government does add thousands to the price of US market cars through regulation, just as EU nations add thousands through taxation and regulation. Take a look at Brazil's car market for what government policy can do for price and availability…

What are the ten least expensive 200+hp cars in Europe and what do they cost including tax? What does it cost in fuel to drive one 1,000 kilometers? Does your country have congestion taxing? Speed cameras? What percentage of new cars have over 200 hp? When you factor in privately owned light trucks, in the US it must…

I'm all about less regulations and free trade, but I'll take our gas prices and profusion of affordable 200+ hp cars over Europe's diesels and vacations. A state of the art cell phone is no substitute for a 270 hp midsized car and the freedom to use it as often as you wish. Mind you our current regime hates that…

The video inspired me to look at the US 599 market. Of the 20 cars on ebay, 4 are listed as having manual transmissions. Yay! Upon looking at each of the 4, I learned that 20% of 599 sellers are delusional, as all the ones offered are really automatics. Boo!

He got it for $80K. Stick to topics you know about. I can't even fathom what they would be.

Maybe he took out student loans and bought the car with them. If Obama gets re-elected, it might be money better spend than on an education. The debt will be forgiven, the education would have been worthless, and he'll have his memories of the dying days of western civilization.

Blown Little League calls! This is an excellently written article. It makes me want to move to Texas and buy a Tundra.

I couldn't help but to notice that the pedestrians who were interacting with vehicles making left turns were all doing so while ignoring that they had do not walk lights telling them to stay out of the intersection. Lawlessness isn't limited to drivers, nor are traffic laws so ridiculous that they're completely…

I'd rank those two the same, but the Crosstour is usually painted a more restrained color than the Focus. I though the first Focus hatch I saw from the back was a Juke. It just doesn't get any worse.
