I don't think it's the best safety improvement by anymeans, but it makes me a safer driver. Driving a manual, simply because I like it, makes me want to drive. It's engaging, and through that enhances my focus and attentiveness. When I'm driving an auto, I'm not enjoying myself to the same extent, and therefore don't…

And the sad part: all that applies to Polyphony as well. You think I'm expecting all the promised GT6 features to come to fruition? Hell no. Only reason I'm not going back to Forza is I'm not wanting to buy day one next-gen.

That could work, but it's worth noting Lexus was an all new brand. Lincoln is damaged goods. I'd worry it wouldn't sell enough to have a big enough impact on the public, especially if it's being sold alongside blatantly rebadged Fords.
I really do love your theory, though. The car you described would be a display of…

Has Merc overtaken BMW by that much? I haven't driven any of their recent offerings, but did ride in a new E Class (gotta love rich realtors) and thought it was fantastic. That being said, I've never riden in a 5-Series so I don't know if it's inferior.
I love your idea for Lincoln. That "Must Read" article about…

Well folks, I think there's an easy solution to all of this. If you're even remotely famous or powerful, and you decide to call a bunch of hookers over for a Nazi themed domination bonanza, DO NOT DOCUMENT IT. For fuck's sake dude, they're prostitutes! Desperate, deceitful people who will no doubt sell any sort of…

They are refocusing their flagging sales on EVs and SUVs, areas where Mitsubishi has traditionally done well. In the US, they want to sell 150,000 cars by 2017, which means a refresh and refocus on the popular Outlander. They will also try and normalize its shareholder structure so it can partner up with other brands,…

I think Lincoln needs to go more bespoke if they want to get even close to Germany and Caddy. Aside from all their cars looking like humpback whales of varying sizes, they're all clearly Fords in a cheap tux. While Cadillac may use various GM platforms, they have bespoke features, multiple engine options, and…

Kind of ironic it's trailing an undisguised Up! though. I think that raises more questions. To cut cost, are Toyota and VW testing competing cars together? Or since Toyota is currently world #1, is VW comparing their cold weather performance to Toyota's? This is very peculiar indeed, but that camoed car is clearly an…

And Mr. Orlove, can I not be grayed out anymore? I used to be JoeMacdaddy on here, and have Oppo authorship. I recently switched to my real name since I don't see Jalops as the "hunt you down and kill" you type. Putting some effort into a post and getting grayed out kinda sucks. If you could work your magic it would…

Good to see Honda at least put forth an effort again. It's no S2000, but this thing could be a blast. Apparently a stock CR-Z comes in at 2,670lbs (only transmission that exists to us), while the FR-S comes in at 2,758lbs with a MT. I can't help but be impressed with Honda's engineers for making a hybrid that weighs…

That's great and all, but there's still tons of people who say that shit even though they haven't come within 10 feet of a GT-R. I think that's who he was rippin on there hoss. Kudos for the thorough lambasting though, I was entertained.

The thing that really irked me about GT5 was how even though I raced in almost exclusively premium cars, almost the whole field would be standard, making the game feel downright ridiculous.

Picking a bigger or heavier vehicle purely to be safe is like wearing two condoms when you have sex with prostitutes if you want to avoid getting an STD when really: Just stop having sex with prostitutes.

Just flew US Air from Harrisburg PA-Charlotte NC- Lexington KY. Both flights were had dated, small cabins and minimal carry-on storage and leaving from Charlotte was a bonafide clusterfuck. Two flights were supposed to leave from one gate at 4:08 and 4:15... why they thought they could pull that off, I don't know but…
