I’m with Frolich. Everyone knows that BMW hasn’t built a decent car since 1975. 

Yeah, I see what you are saying. I am now thinking that the 2017 CRS is probably the right thing. 

Odd car I know, but it really looks like a 2011 SAAB 9-5 sedan to me. It has the right C pillar, short trunk deck, wheels are right, and the thing that gets me is the way the front end disappears in the headlights. I am thinking that the wrap around SAAB headlights would make it photograph that way. Roof line starts…

No. Back window sports a kink. Target car doesn’t have that. 

In some ways they are both right, although Yeager is more right than Clarkson. Yes, Bell used Miles engineering to build their engine and the bulk of their plane, and they had about the success that Miles had in breaking the sound barrier … the planes lost control entering transition to supersonic flight, much like…

First Gear: Since this is an EU regulation, how has it effected manufacturers from France and Italy in their car sales and registrations in those countries? Is there something special about the German auto industry that made it specially vulnerable to the new standard? I am wondering why you chose to separate out the…

It looks real good as much as real is an adverb. 

I wasn’t forgetting the rest of the world. It was just my understanding of their business plan that it was a US roll out with certain domestic sales targets to make it viable. That could be a complete misapprehension on my part. I stopped following them about 2 years ago. I totally agree with you that the product…

How are they even still around? They need oil to go up by a minimum of half again what it is today to make the business case work for this vehicle because it assumes volume sales from the git go. That isn’t happening. I like the car, and I think it would be a great addition to the marketplace, but unless they can come…

Hmmm, maybe if deNyafzafnwgfssahf had been closer to the engineers in Detroit they might have been able to make a switch into SUV like vehicles a little faster, but then that might have slowed down renaming the product line with slightly different letters and numbers, and no one could have waited for that. 

Over the years, I have become sort of suspicious of cars with just 4 or 5 miles on them from the lot. My first car had 79. My feeling was that if it worked for the dealer in that many test drives then it must be an OK car. They also gave me a nice discount for taking the tester, but I would have done it anyway. In the…

I just bought a new BMW motorbike without a tach, and I too am pretty happy not to be staring at my tach any more. 

Counter-Counter-Point - The E brakes I have, 2011 Cadillac and 2006 Jaguar, take a pretty long time to engage. Much longer than pulling the handle, which isn’t much fun. Second CCP, you can’t modulate the pressure on an E brake. It is either on or off. Stopping the car with a hand brake it is very useful to be able to…

What I really miss are kick vents in the front wells. Man those things were nice on a hot day. 

Pretty much every important point in this post is wrong.

Great shots! It must have been a wild time to be on the salt. 

Well that’s why they make Fords AND Chevys! People have different tastes. For me the story is always the same, man or woman doesn’t matter, driver likes to drive, gets car, drives it. The difference between the stuff you write and Elizabeth is useful in that you write more about the driving not the driver, and that is…

I did read your work, and my post was not a reaction to Elizabeth calling out signing of body parts on a 17 year old girl. It is a more holistic reaction that about 70% of what she writes about is women, which is great, but it ends up being the same story, over and over again. It gets dull. In the end, I am here to…

No, we intentionally got a Jezebel writer on Jalopnik. Notice how since Steph left there are fewer articles about cars, racing, stuff that goes, that sort of thing, and more articles about women, and women, and some women stuff? That would be how this site is heading. Sad. I used to like it.

I’m guessing that price was not the metric that pushed them the Figaro way?
