An old Jag catching fire is not a surprise. I'm more surprised that a JAGUAR DEALERSHIP is apparently surprised by this.

But you're not going to accidentally get a plate that says Fallujah. And if you intentionally tried to abbreviate Fallujah to make it look like some random alpha numeric plate number, most people wouldn't make the connection.

Dude, it's the internet. Since when is knowledge about anything relevant?

I don't doubt for a minute that developing a car is cheap, but at least that cost is hopefully amortized over the production run and maybe future models. And what Hennessey is spending is a relative drop in the bucket for what the majors spend on development. I'm old enough to remember the billion with a B being…

I think you're severely underestimating the cost to build a road. While it can vary wildly due to numerous factors, a conservative estimate would be in the $10M/mile range. Given that it would need to be at least as long as VW's 12-mile track, you're looking at $120 million minimum. I don't think Hennessey is rolling…

Define "high speed. " I'm sure every manufacturer has a track capable of speeds in excess of 200 MPH, and if not the are plenty of NASCAR super speedways. Maybe they don't allow the speed of VW's track, but why would we even need it beyond a top speed pissing contest?

It's not that the HVAC is weak, but the more it has to run, the less range you have.

Chevy reduced the size of the window openings (referred to as DLO) to reduce the load on the HVAC. The black trim is used to provide the appearance of a larger DLO.

Another thing to consider is that most, if not all, of the European countries (and maybe Japan as well) have annual registration taxes that factor in engine displacement in their calculation. So for manufacturers in those markets there is an incentive to get more power out of those smaller displacements. And if you…

For the nameplates that span multiple generations, can you include the specific one you're referring to?

Jeeps are "trail rated" and now Nissans are rail rated.

Now you're switching terms. Bargain and affordable are not necessarily the same thing. I brought up volume because, as a general rule, as volume goes up, prices come down. So in sticking with your original Corvette vs. WRX comparison, the WRX has the sales volume advantage of the Impreza to make it a relatively…

I think there is a critical thing you're missing in your comparison. The Corvette is a sports-car and if you look at other similarly priced sports cars (Z4, Boxster, Cayman, F-type) none offer anywhere near the performance of the Vette. Also, the WRX, in the most basic sense, is just a trim level of the Impreza. In…

It's a nice ass but certainly not a great ass.

I like how they say that the Vette "feels its size" and that it's "such a large and potent car." You would think they didn't know the Corvette's footprint is no larger than that of a 911 or 458.

Having had one of these in the form of an 89 Pontiac LeMans, I'm surprised this thing is still on the road.

Impulse for me. But only with the pop-up lights.

I'll just leave this here.

From the moment I saw the lead photo, I was prepared to vote T-Bird just because nothing says 70's excess like a 20-ft long Baby Blue 2-door personal coupe. And hide-away headlights FTW! Then I saw the Imperial. It matches the excess of the T-Bird, though not quite its blue-ness, and is a bit more special to me due…
