As a former Neon Expresso (sic) driver, I'm not surprised. More HP than weight coupled with it's wide stance made it more of a very stable motorcycle than a car.

@$kaycog: Works with a hatchback, too.

Sporty little Ford with a manual tranny? Too bad we'll never see it in the States.

If they can get Cap. Sully to endorse it, they might actually sell some.

@Novaload: The teeth aren't bright enough on the dude in the center...

TomTom did a study based on GPS records, and posted their findings here:

@gburke: one of those things that only works for one person, but MAN won't he be floored.

@Bergkoenig: The WRX might be IC. The Impreza is IC-Lite. (Still good, just a little less there.)

Demolition derby/juice bar?

The Tralfamadorians saw it coming.

I used to drive a Celebrity. Very shaky at 75mph, but smooth as silk from 85 to 120. Great for scaring your friends with the "Cop/Caprice" looking headlights.

On a similar vein, I'm debating between the A3-TDI quattro and the Subaru Impreza WRX for my next car. Any strong feelings between the two? I live in Boston, have a toddler, and ski way up north.

@SuperMacGuy: There is no such thing as all weather tires. They're either the wrong tire for 9 moths of the year, or 3 months.

For the man who can't fit his lifestyle into the International CXT... #pickuptrucks

Too bad only the 1.4 TDI is coming to the US. I'd buy it in a heartbeat. #thecarenthusiast

@surfermk9: Agreed. A couple frames down the road, you see the blurred out image of some poor ex-critter under the front bumper.
