Have you actually sat in the new Camaro? I was in one (at an autoshow, so didn’t get to drive it) and there definitely seemed to be worse visibility outwards than the previous gen (they had a previous gen ZL1 on the floor too so it was easy to compare). Now, it did feel like I had more physical space within the car,…

This. I only give a pass to that sort of thing to the Range Rover Sport SVR, because from what I have seen, it can go on the track like stink then go play in the mud right afterwards. (Yes, I know the Cayanne and Macan can as well, but Porsche’s rep wasn’t built on going off-road ability)

Sadly, no manual for us North Americans....

I agree, if by ‘proper’ you mean with a manual. 2 out of 3 criteria isn’t bad though..... Sadly can only get the M-Performance with the diesel.... :(

So crazy it makes sense. Audi and BMW are just doing what Mazda had 13 years ago with the 1st gen Mazda6 lift-back. When I first saw it I knew I wanted one because it had the practicality of a hatch but not the bulk of a wagon. The only advantage the 6 had over these is you could also get it in a manual. Mazda did 2…

The sportback and 4GC are much more practical and better looking than their 4-door sedan counterparts. This is why they exist. Cancel the sedan versions.

I really liked the look of these when they came out - it seemed much sleeker than the A4 sedan, with the added bonus of being a lift-back. I also thought it looked less ‘melted’ than the later A7, but that is just a personal opinion. Hopefully the new one will be as nice as this version when it arrives over here.

I think the issue is the trope that a strong, assertive female character NOT being gay plays against the stereotype that if a female character is strong and assertive she therefore must be gay.

I guess it is a ymmv sort of thing. When I was on OK/POF/Match, 90% of the messages I received from women who initiated contact were of the “Hi/Hello/Hey/How’s it going?” variety. Granted, the profiles of most of those tended to be pretty vague in themselves. It was a rare occasion when I found a message that had a…

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not advocating for the surveillance that many law enforcement agencies would like/do employ. And while whispering is a step at minimizing being overheard, I don’t think it is reasonable to argue or assume that (in the context of the 21st century) if you are out in a public space you can expect…

That wire-tap law is idiotic and should be canned. There is zero reason why you should expect privacy when you are within someone-else’s house/car/whatever. Laws preventing other people from recording you in your own house/car make sense, but the moment you get out of your own property you are in public space and…

This is likely what Jeep will be selling as a new pickup. Not Renegade or Wrangler, but Toro-based with a Cherokee front clip.

Why is that a problem? Or are you married to the idea that only “real” 4x4 must have solid Dana axels?

Audi, BMW and Mercedes seem to do okay with 4-cyl at that price point or higher, so the real issue is perceived value, which then you are right. Except hardly anyone actually buys the V6 so then what? The frustrating thing is the Mazda6 is a great car, drives well has great handling and lots of space (I have lots of…

It’s funny how they seem to forget all these things about him. For all his faults, compared to the buffoons running now, he would be a breath of fresh air.

Well, that’s because it was a 21st century Corolla. Unless it says AE86, those cars are the automotive equivalent of Novocaine.

The interior is a huge improvement, but yeah I am finding it difficult to love the exterior. It is as if the car you want to be there is all slashed up and has weird body kit still on it, but underneath is something beautiful. All I know is that specing it in all black outside hides a lot of the sins.

For me, the order of favorite to least is C6/C2/early C3/C4/C7/C1/C5. I’d like to like the C7 more but I’m still having problems with some of the gee-wizz styling treatments.

Super expensive hypercar, with Astra VXR rims.....

“Best auto dealers” is an oxymoron statement. I have yet to come across one, new or used that doesn’t deal in shenanigans. There is zero reason to block Tesla from direct sales other than cronyism among the current crop. Telsa doing direct sales means only they have a monoploy on their own products, period, not all…
