Don't take what I wrote as a slam on the concept of unions, merely the horrific way that they tend to be implemented in this country. I've been to Germany, and studied European business fairly extensively in the course of getting my minor. A German-style, company-intrinsic, guild-like union the UAW is most certainly…

Well, it's arguable. It's far and away better than some supercars of yesteryear, but some autojournos go for inflating the supercar definition to keep up with the times and others work with neologisms like "hypercar". Perhaps should have said "high-power car" to be more all-encompassing and be a better parallel with…

One could say as the makers of things like the Phaeton that they don't understand their products very well either, but that would be mean-spirited.

A lot of people don't "get" infrastructure costs. As well as the TN plant is doing, there are probably quite a lot of things still being paid for and conditional agreements in place. Expansion there would be likely to pay off, but at current state if anything went completely tits-up the plant would probably not have…

GT-R DONE!

The best implications of DI and turbo products from 'Yota are for those who raid their parts bins. We may not want to hear about a Lexus laboring with an ever-smaller and more overworked engine in the name of efficiency, but given a tune and delivery to Lotus or dropping into something like a Caterham, we should sit…

Then again, if Westmoreland Assembly is any indication, it took until 1988 for Volkswagen to figure out that US unions and labor in general are eminently more deranged than are worth dealing with if they can be avoided. Freebies or their lack are one thing, an endless set of mediocre results and labor bickerings are…

Per neutral, I'm more interested to hear about the direct injection option than I am the turbo. Hear me out; I know a turbo provides a way to squeeze a lot of power out of a small engine that retains the ability to operate at relatively low capacity, and that allows higher efficiency for a given upper limit of…

"Cosworth...Genesis Coupe...389 horsepower"

Taking the title question more literally, possibly an old Ford truck with a dead battery attempting to start...?

More like Parking Deer. I think blacktop is the opposite of whitetail.

These tires are made for smokin', and that's just what they'll do. One of these days these tires are gonna break down into a white vapor full of all kinds of VOCs and half-burned hydrocarbons, with probably a dash of sulfur dioxide, all possibly more likely to give you lung cancer than a cigarette... all over you.

Why, are they not near a highway?

It's offensive southern stereotypes and offensive Chinese stereotypes AT THE SAME TIME! It's like a buffet of offensive stereotypes. Either a Chinese buffet or a southern diner style one, or possibly both again.

Get a brake, Morgans.

I've linked people to ACE for quite some time now, if I'm not mistaken the new Morgan 3-wheeler was launched based on its success and with some of the engineering, since ACE was operating with the blessing of Morgan anyway.

Haute cuisine is not the same thing as highway cuisine. I think there's a lesson there for all of us.

The answer to Neutral is, by inductive reasoning, the answer closest to "Miata", because if the answer is always "Miata" and yet cannot be "Miata", the answer must be as close to "Miata" as possible. And possibly a Jaaaaaaag.

It's one of those things that if sold in serious numbers, people would buy ironically later. Screw that. It's deranged enough to kind of want one now, it's like a German-on-crack answer to the Avantime made to appease the greens, which is a special kind of deranged.

It's Friday, he's in love... but not with you, Rebecca. Sorry 'bout that.
