Reskin that 4-cylinder Mustang as something more contemporary, add a little simplicity/lightness, call it something like, I dunno, Probe, and sell it for 30K. I bet it would do fairly well as as a Miata/86 competitor. Simple entry level Ford fun car. 

Bullshit - Piech wasn’t expecting the best, he was expecting compliance at all cost with his megalomaniacal demands. He was directly responsible for instilling a culture that resulted in Dieselgate and tremendous quality issues that plagued VAG for decades, all while wasting a bunch of resources on halo projects to…

Wasn’t it only yesterday when Colin was cut and pasting Consumer Reports article that Mach-Es were going for OVER MSRP and therefore a poor deal?

Ladies and gentlemen, THIS is the best American car ever made:

a 2014 Tesla Model S crashed into the back of a firetruck

Stirling Moss without a doubt. 16 poles, 16 wins, and 24 podiums out of 67 race entries (a higher rate than many F1 world champions), and an absolute class act as sportsman - he actually lost the championship one year because he defended the eventual winner (Mike Hawthorn) from being given an incorrect penalty, when…

Mark Martin is NASCAR’s greatest driver to never win the championship. His stats are insane. Five times he finished second in points. Twelve times he finished in the top five in points. A super competitive guy right up until he retired, which he did several times. A class act to say the least.  

Alfa Romeo Duettottanta Concept

Chevy Code 130R. Small, RWD coupe? Yes please

The ‘80s kids of me wants to say the Dodge M4S, but the middle-aged man of me knows the correct answer is the Buick Avista.

Nissan IDX. It was supposed to be the entry level sports coupe that slotted below the Z. Maybe Nissan would be a more exciting company today had they actually produced them?

I think this is what 911s are specifically made for.

As the DeLorean was already mentioned, I’m nominating the Honda CRZ. Looks great, but the performance didn’t live up to its billing as a successor to the CRX. 

Thank God I don’t have to run a car charger to my portable CD player, connected to my tape adapter that needs wiggled the right way into the car’s tape deck. The portable CD player needed to sit level on the center console, and even with shock protection would from time to time skip over speed bumps and other bumps…

Why buy a wagon when there’s an SUV that offers everything a wagon does and more? SUVs can tow, offer much more ground clearance, they have several inches more suspension travel for better rides. And, they can have side impact safety without needing the door sill to come up to your chin.

Always a good car wash before a road trip. A clean car is a happy car and a happy car is a reliable car.

The brakes on Aguilera-Mederos’ semi-truck failed, and he crashed into stopped traffic, killing four people.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but it’s the Pontiac Aztek. If it launched today with cleaner lines, a prettier face and modern features, it would be a strong contender in the war of offroad capable CUV’s.

I hate to say it but I do agree with him on this; like - when VW announced the Arteon I thought it was the wrong move (considering how poorly VW CCs were selling at the time). 2-door coupes are just not where the market is right now.

There are some after photos out there showing the police vehicle had the back glass completely broken out and some trim torn off. The crowd was not just standing around peaceably singing hymns.
