Number two: CarMax has now paid out a grand total of $6,149.03 for my vehicle – or $2,250.03 more than the warranty cost to buy. And I still have 46 months (nearly four years) or 41,000 miles of sweet warranty still remaining.

For those of you who aren't aware, Land Rover service department customer satisfaction ratings are pretty bad. Not just pretty bad, actually: they're the absolute worst in the entire luxury car industry. So awful that J.D. Power satisfaction scores place Land Rover further from the second-worst brand­ than the…

There comes a time in the life of every Land Rover owner when he thinks about his children. Specifically, he thinks: "What's a more reliable way to get my children to school: Drive them in my Land Rover? Or let them carpool with a heroin addict?"

So because your situation and that of one other example don't fit the mold, it's not worth considering at all?

Never mind the colossal number of white collar workers who get in a car to drive 30 miles each way to sit in an office each day. Never mind the huge number of two working parent families who unsurprisingly…

You're misunderstanding, though. The right-wing rhetoric of choice: "Fuck you, I got mine."

Never mind children dying, they're FOREIGN!

In the meantime, our infrastructure crumbles, bridges collapse, and people die. But hey, worth it to prove a point, right? Starve the beast!

I think the Pulsar's successor, the NX (1600 and 2000) is far more rare.

The problem is that too many concept cars have lied to us over the years. There was the Cadillac Cien, a cool supercar concept that never saw the light of day. The Cadillac Sixteen, a full-size luxury sedan that never happened. The Mazda Furai, an awesome race car concept that never made it past one unit. The Ford…

A Dolly Sprint! Let's see pics!

It's just a silly concern though. The average auto-buyer is *not* going to go through the hassle of importation and buying sight-unseen. The impact on their bottom lines would be pretty minimal.

Can we expect something as interesting/unique as the Ferrari/GT-R?

I'll bet you a dollar those cars were not less safe than a 1920 Model T, which is road-legal in the USA. I'd be up for individual exemptions to the 25 year-rule, and excluding automakers so the roads aren't full of flaming Tata Nanos.

However, there is one glimmer of hope. In 2006, a highly reputable Registered Importer in Baltimore called JK Technologies managed to convince the government that the "B5" Audi RS4 Avant was "substantially similar" to the A4 and S4 Avant models already sold here by Audi (despite protests from Volkswagen of America).…

My Mother used to own one of those. The models in that picture must be no more than 5' tall.

Congratulations, this is thus far the stupidest thing I've read all day. Well done.

OF COURSE when people talk about a Carbon Tax they're talking about taxing individuals on the volume of CO2 they exhale each day. That's an honest assessment of the situation.

Those of us in the US, who just saw control of Congress go to the Republican party, can relate. Abbott would do well in the right-wing here. Rudd and Gillard should be embarrassed that their pissing around allowed a nutcase like him to come to power.

The answer, I think, lies in the further availability of quick-charge stations. We bought a Volt purely because of range anxiety, and the semi-regular long-distance trips would not be well-served by the Supercharger network. It's a great start but until they can get over that concern I think pure electric is still…

Yes... If it doesn't make financial sense to do so. Your logic is pretty flawed. What about those that only have a PS2? Should Rockstart port GTAV back to that because "it can play games?"

Great article, but two small typos: "CalEdonia" and "NAirobi."

I think Americans would have a lot less issue with militarization of police if it were truly done as a proper, rigourous specialization like this rather than just dropping tanks into small-town PDs.

Look into the tax incentives. If you live in a state which has them, combined with the Federal ones, it can make for a much more attractive price.

I live in IL, if you pay $7,500 in federal taxes here in IL you could knock $11,500 off the price of the car before negotiations.
