$9B lost on the bailout? That's nothing compared to how much gets pissed away on defense programs that go nowhere. At least we got the Hellcat and C7 out of it...

Still hard to know for sure and GM's shitty timing with their recalls certainly does make this look worse, but, c'mon, that $9.26 billion is nothing. We're going to spend upwards of $1.5 trillion on the Joint Strike Fighter program, which is like $500 billion overbudget.

Others have estimated fewer job losses connected with a failure of GM and Chrysler. The biggest unknown remains if — and how long — it would have taken surviving automakers like Ford Motor Co. and other foreign firms to make up the lost production from GM and Chrysler. Ford did not take a government bailout.

I am very happy with the sedan. However, I know that there were a lot of potential buyers waiting for the hatch. I hope it comes along though, you can never have enough ~300 hp manual hatches in the world.

I'd almost put money on it coming during a mid-cycle refresh along with the direct injection STI that everyone is waiting for.

No WRX hatch with the redesign.

almost bought one yeeeeears ago. Flew all the way to Kentucky from Texas just to have the "cross country road trip ready" 7mgte chug into nothing. Then I got a WRX that hands me 420 tq all day for the past 3 years

Youve got it wrong, the best way to make a MK III reliable is dump the 7MGTE and put in a 2JZGTE. Coming from someone who spent $5,000 building a 7MGTE, to sell it off at a huge loss with zero run time because I just was done with them and put in a VVTI 2JZGTE.

Cheap gas

In F1 and all motor sport related:

707 HP for the masses!

I'm sorry but you do not know what you are talking about, you can get the real deal for under $70k http://m.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/…

Pointlessly complicated headlights

That every truck needs grillz and to look like it's been snorting chrome since the Carter administration.

Having a crease or chrome bar across the rear of the car that extends into the taillights. It doesn't look good so I don't know why a bunch of the european manufacturers are doing it.

Couldn't agree more.

The 1996-2004 Mustang with its non functioning hood scoop and side vents.

This, the exhaust, I see you in there.

Fake vents and scoops.

Spindle Grill . Every new Lexus looks atrocious with it. Toyota and Infiniti are beginning to have their own variations of it too. Ugh.
