This is really entertaining, and she's got it nailed. Can't hide my disappointment at no German though :(

That's exactly what I thought of!I forkin' love this car; saw it in the museum a few years ago.

Wait, you know what a Zune GUI looks like?

Don't we get the R, too? Or are a handful of people around here just rebadging and re-exhausting their GTIs?

That thing needs a geedamn exorcism.

I was about to post the same thing; but I'm assuming the extra poundage could cut a tenth or two off. Still leaves you with a sub-3sec convertible, though. Effin' A, Cotton. Effin' A.

Dose switches doh....

Isn't this a sure thing? Why would they have two small truck projects, especially when this one looks so promising?

I read something else recently about how if people can't stand you at your worst, it's not their fault; maybe you should actually look at ironing out your faults. Friends will accept your faults while you work on them, and may help you do so, but nobody can (or should have to) deal with your absolute worst forever.


Foun…

I would be pretty miffed until I got home and called my baller insurance agency to fix everything, because, you know, I would have a $1.8m car. Then I could just hop in my F12 and resume the hoonage.

Was it? I was thinking there was lots of Hans Zimmer ca. DKR and Inception in there...I hope I'm not losing my soundtrack mojo.

I'm going back to Forza 3...Rally di Positano, anyone?

I'm with you on this one. I saw the episode and while the durability/build quality issues are major concerns, them poking fun at it being slower than a "BMW saloon car" without a "VW" qualifier when the Stig had to wheel a 1000+ hp RWD supercar around a track that had what looked like an inch of standing water on it…

Handbrake?

Maybe it keeps greasy fluids from getting all over your shoes.

Who's pushing two tons of vehicle with a Civic drivetrain?

Yeah, I do hear things can get a little ridiculous with union regs; I think what we're both getting at is some great underlying truth about road crews....

I'm going back to Germany this summer, I'll keep an eye out for how they get stuff done.

And yet our vehicle mortality rate is orders of magnitudes less? Apples, meet oranges.

Say what you will about unions, but our right-to-work road crews don't operate any quicker.
