@0oz: The old lancer was pretty good, and I expected them to raise the bar here a bit, and I don't know how this one drives, but it feels so much heavier when you're in the passenger seat.

@Ash78, now featuring the Tyke Hoon: You're not qualified if you need 2 minutes to figure that out.

The Pontiac remnants have just been completely destroyed.

@HortonHearsAHoon: It's really not a bad name. I mean, had the play not existed, Horton would have been perfectly normal. My name's Sunny, so I get all this "It's always Sunny in Philadelphia", "Cloudy and Rainy" and "Sonny with a chance" jokes, so it's no biggie. Ignoring them is easy.

@HortonHearsAHoon: The 355 is affordable, but it's still a Ferrari and it's still fun. The Scuderia is just always out of reach it seems. At least for people who aren't super millionaires.

So I guess the real question is, "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?". And the answer's no, because any one of your kids would've stopped you if they knew mommy was an alcoholic moron.

@hawkeye18: I hope it's working... :D

Guys, guys. This isn't her fault. She simply didn't read the article on "Road Head" and therefore couldn't hitch a ride by car. She then had to learn the practice of "Airhead" and simply followed the guide step by step. Here's your reward Ms. Livingston, enjoy it.

@pauljones: Hey, I love to assume we're all 'Mericans. I saw a guy whose name was "Citroen" something and I just assumed he was french. Turns out the guy was from Yugoslavia or something. I've been living in Jersey way too long.

No matter how much I hope for depreciation, it will never be in my price range...oh Ferrari, why must you be so out of reach? Maybe a 355...

@hardwareguy: So if you're towing you want to keep it under 2500 RPM or so?

@Vette5885: Ah, I see. And you multiply power at the crank by .82 to get the power at the wheels right? So if you divide by the same number it works out to 785 or so. Close enough, thanks!

I seriously need to learn how to read dyno charts...at higher revs you get 46hp and 67.5 lbs-ft of torque? And I see 643 but no 800...they don't teach this in High School. They should though.

Ridin Dirty - Chamillionaire,

Are you sure he doesn't have intellectual and developmental disabilities? All I know is that if I crashed the A8 anywhere, I'd be walking home. And if I crashed it at home, I'd be walking the 26 miles to my grandma's house, because that's where I'd have to say for a few weeks.

"C'mon bitch, get out of that Lambo, who you playin' you ain't Rambo. I say some hocus and pocus and bam, there's a mothafuckin Lotus. I gotta choose between Ascari and Ferrari? Hell nah, drive em both to Mojave. That SSC has alien balls, can't get those at most of your malls. But I'd say my favorite would be, my dark…

@0oz: Well regardless of the Evo comparison then, my point is still valid in that the Lancer is slow, yet it does look fast, and is therefore "Poser", the "Original point of this article" as you would say. The Evo comparison just exemplifies that it looks quite close to the Evo, when in fact previous generations have…

@MinardiGP: Hahaha, nice.

@jcd302: I really hope they haven't castrated Clarkson and passing it off as imitation balls.

@Tossed Mazda3hatch's Chicken Salad all over Accord's face with a plate of croutons and Bleu Cheese dressing: An uncle of mine has an 05 Accord Coupe. It's well equipped and affordable, V6 power, handles well, and quite comfortable. I really like it.
