The only way this works out for me is if they rebadge it an Alfa. This is a great car. It should not be going away. If anything should be going away it Francois. 

The first misuse of the word turbo I can recall on a car was a 1971 Chevy Nova I was working on in college that had a sticker on the air cleaner that said “250 Turbo Thrift” on it. I can guarantee you that engine did not have a turbo charger.

As a regular reader of the WSJ I scanned this Op-Ed and found it idiotic, but I also find your response idiotic, and I still wonder why you have a voice at Jalopnik. You attack this writer for the dumbness of his article and whether a Left Urbanist movement even exists, but that has nothing to do with transportation

I pre-ordered my RX 8 in May of 2003 in lightning yellow with a manual transmission. Mazda had problems from the very beginning with the car in that it failed EPA Emissions requirements and the first batch of cars, including mine, were held at the port for failure to meet the new in 2003 requirement that catalytic

I am glad to hear that the nannies can all be turned off, but I am not convinced that all is actually all from what I have read in the literature, but if you tell me it is so, I will believe you. I get that the BMW is twice the price of the Mustang, but they are both four seat convertibles, and in this age one must

I am actually considering one of these things, although I am not a big BMW fan. How invasive are the electronic safety nannies to live with? Can they be shut off? I hate them in my wife’s Mercedes. Can the back seat fit adult humans? Right now I am leaning Mustang over this, and I can buy a Summer place with the money

I am so sorry to hear this, but I would like to relate the story of a man I met many years ago. He was a squadron commander in the RAF. Through some absolutely stupid maneuvers he drilled the F-4 he was piloting into the ground with him in it. The REO ejected as ordered. He spent years in surgeries and rehab, but when

 I was going to post it myself. Every time I see one all I do is wonder about the IQ of the person who paid money for it. It epitomizes the words compromised design. Loathsome.

I say this with love, The marketing department of the Mercedes Benz Corporation are a bunch of mindless jerks who will be first against the wall when the revolution comes.

Your reference to Duryea got me wondering if he [Charles] could have applied any influence on the governor, but Charles did not open his Reading, PA operation until 1900 so it does not line up.

These sorts of slide shows abound throughout the IP world. I am more inclined to read the ones from battery makers than I am from a motor maker since there is some room for movement in the chemistry and physics of batteries even if it is intensely difficult work requiring fundamental research and massive costs.

I want it!!!!!!!

Your crazy again. That said, you could be right, but I believe they are messing around with a small displacement rotary. It is just too quiet. Anyway there is no way to be right in this discussion I just love the fact that Mazda is about the only company who could generate this much discussion on a development mule.

True, true 

Your crazy. That aside the sound could be, but I have no idea how anyone would shoe horn an in-line six into an RX 8. I owned one for 7 years. I just can’t see how to do it. 

That Blue RX 8 is awfully quiet, even for a rotary. I am thinking it is the range extending hybrid. 

Just what I was wondering. The navy yard is just so hipster now, but I wonder how they will feel when the ships start blinking back into reality from the Philadelphia Experiment? 

Have a friend with one of these, and the third transmission actually works and has for years. Both of the replacement transmissions and all repairs were covered by Ford, but that was probably back during the initial warranty period. 

I would trade all the buttons for a manual transmission, and a hand brake, but I am really excited to see a Vette that doesn’t have a football field for a nose. 

I read this when it went on-line, and all I thought was, who cares what Frank thinks, he’ll be dead in a couple of years. And in the interim, he can buy back any one of the 30 Vettes that he traded in over the years with 5,000 or less miles on them.
