Looking at all these cars, there emerges a distinct similarity, at least to my eye. Only the CTS stands out as bucking the somewhat curvy, somewhat edgy trend. I guess that's the state of the art in car design circa 2008.

What's with the pimping of comments in the last sentence of the first paragraph?

There's no way anyone playing is going to be sober tonight.

I think the next person who trots out "slow news day" should automatically get the ban-hammer. Unless of course, it's Ash78.

Since I have apparently lost my mind and am as enthusiastic about our 2008 Civic Hybrid as I was about the Caterham, I will say that the addition of leather availability is nice. Also, unlike the current hybrid system, which shuts off the gas engine only when fully stopped, it seems that new system will be more…

If I ever get to the point in life where I can afford such things, I will be very reluctant to participate in such a spectacle.

Maser Gran Turismo.

@UDMan:

Ash, seriously good to have you back. I know I'm not alone in this sentiment.

I can't overstate the impact the Hammer had back in the day. This one's in NJ, too...close enough that I could go look at it in person....

For a site whose readers/commenters consider one of the smartest car-blogs on the web, a very dumb post.
