GODDAMN you Aaron Foley! I wasn't going to say anything, but I've been reading your lil 'Jalopnik Detroit' entries, and you havta be the most irresponsible "Detroiter" on the planet. Can you PUHLEEEEZE let the outsiders know that this was NOT some Detroit stuff, and was WHOLLY a suburban thing.

I get SO tired of you…

You know, unless you can get your own robot safely to the surface if the moon I wouldn't make fun of China.

I swear, I thought Audi were dissing themselves with that dog. Super nose-heavy? Check. Compromise? The A3 sedan is a compromise by definition - a shrunken A4 for people who can't afford a real A4, and lacking the practicality of the A3 hatch.

Porsche's 911. No, really! Think about it... Porsche took a huge risk continuing to develop a car with the engine in the wrong place, even when the car was a complete menace to drive (think early turbo-models with crazy snap oversteer).

Too big for the displacement.

Is it as small as the LS? Does it fit everywhere an LS does? :p

Want to honour the best engine in the past 20 years? Buy my shirts/hoodies/stickers!

Put a 2JZ-GTE into literally anything, and you'll be good too.

1.) GM LS Series

Next time you're at your Auto Show, take a closer look at those engine displays. Compare for example the 7.0L LS9 engine to the 3.5L V6 Nissan GTR motor. The "humongous" LS9 has twice the displacement of the "little" V6 but when you look at them in person it's easy to which engine is "humongous". The LS9 is a little…

What gets me is how Chevrolet can make continual improvements & the price gets lower, it seems like Nissan is passing the brunt of R & D to the end user.

Again, The GT-R hasn't become more expensive, it's just heading to the break even point of what Nissan's cost for building such a vehicle is.

I was working at a Nissan dealership in 2009 when those things came out and we couldn't keep them on the lot. I think we sold something like 10 or 11 of them while I was there.

Weren't they taking a huge loss with every car sold initially? So, as they improved it they increased the price a little more than what the actual improvements cost to make up some of that lost money, maybe, possibly, kinda-sorta?

I think all that's BS. All cars under go similar improvements without resultant price increases.

Don't forget that it is also one single model. It does not share R&D costs with a cheaper $50,000 model like most cars. This would be like GM only putting out a ZR1 without sharing the chassis with the base model that sells 35,000 units per year.

3800 Series II. Lots of horspower (for its day), torque, smoothness, durability, and reliability. Back in the day, full-size cars like the LeSabre were rated at 30mpg highway with it.

The Chevrolet LS series of engines. Horsepower, torque, simplicity, compact V8 format, inexpensive relative to complex OHC engines, and capable of providing respectable fuel economy.

The vast majority of accidents involving big rigs are the results of cars doing something stupid around a truck.
