Actually no they're not enough. We had Dave Engelman (Porsche's Communications manager for NA) on The Smoking Tire podcast and during that time Dave explained that the Cayenne basically saved Porsche as a whole.

I know the area VERY well. Lived just outside Manchester for a while and lived within 50 miles for the first 16 years of my life. I'm in ManchVegas every few years visiting friends and family.

$33 an hour... you sir have the least expensive engineering team in North America.

We need this damned car. It bothers me the Japanese seem to always skip the North American market with most of their really interesting stuff.

And Delaware, with their smug "Delawareness". I mean, who the hell do they think they are sitting all high and mighty next to Maryland, Virginia or something?

In the 8 years I lived in FL I would have never called the economy even remotely good. Unemployment was always high, and it's always the first state affected by recession and the last to recover due to the fact there isn't much industry in the state outside of tourism and agriculture. The absolutely piss-poor K-12…

Please, please, please follow through on that. Let's see how well Texas holds up without the support of the remaining 49 states.

What was that; one... maybe two people. I'm not sure what your definition of intelligence is but CA is a research hub for biomedical, technology and aerospace. I'd wager to say that your exposure is to that of complete idiots or you're completely full of shit.

I need this vehicle. I was completely enamored with the previous 5 cylinder Quattro concept and this looks like a more feasible business case in the same vein.

A couple of months ago I had a 2014 Impala press car for about a week. I can easily say that the 2014 bares zero resemblance to any of the previous generations and in fact was undeniably a much nicer car than the Taurus.

You do of course realize that you're talking about a 500 RPM difference in a motor that will swing from 1500RPM to 2000RPM in about a tenth of a second.

I've been in California 8 years and I co-host a fairly popular automotive podcast. In all that time and having met thousands of enthusiasts I've yet to meet a single person who has or knows somebody that had their car crushed by the state.

Glad you guys enjoyed the podcast. Dan definitely pulled the "serious journalist" card as soon as he sat down at the table. Most of that has to do with the fact that a lot of these aftermarket tuners are often completely full of shit, which of course Gale isn't. But to be completey fair, Dan did talk a lot but that…

You're anecdotal "evidence" means absolutely nothing. The simple fact is diesel exhaust when untreated through collection mechanisms or via urea injection is comprised of MANY more things than CO2 and in rather astounding quantities. The particulate matter alone is visible to the naked eye.

Seems as though 15 tons of the matter becomes sentient at least yearly and begin to give themselves names like "sixlocal" and start pissing matches on the internet.

Hey, my drift video got posted up again. Never have I gotten so much coverage out of such little effort.

So does this mean you need to purchase a donor GT? Or have they acquired the tooling to build new chassis?

+1 to being a sensible adult about things

Seems as though a lot of people here with the notion of plates being government issued and they know who you are anyway are completely missing the point. When you collect enough data in aggregate (mind you that isn't the only point of info being tracked here) you can be damned sure the current GPS coordinates are…

I'm also part of the generation known as X. I have run engineering at several web companies and co-host and engineer The Smoking Tire Podcast, Hooniverse and assist with Drive and Protect. Your argument that technical "indoor kids" need not understand the physical world is flimsy at best.
