You guys do realize most cars in Europe are more expensive than any American counterpart......

You're just taunting us Audi.

It's actually a 260Z if you really want to get technical. Also it's got a 500 HP RB in it and is Chris's DD.

I meant to say coilovers. My bad.

This. All of this. Saying I shouldn't put on proper high quality adjustable aftermarket springs because somehow it's akin to saying "fuck proper spring rate and damping setup" is total BS.

Oh I want this car so bad. Seriously I really want a supermini with proper AWD.

So many boutique manufacturer you could list, however I'm going to go with the entire Chrysler Group. Pretty much the red-haired step child of the American auto industry and is partly made up of the remains of AMC, Hudson, and most likely a ton other forgotten marks. From the disaster that was Chrysler Europe to fuck…

I still want a Scirocco so bad. I honestly think they would sell better than the piece of meh that is the Beetle.

Set to break just after the warranty expires.

Look at that beltline. Look at how large it is compared to the 2nd gen Mini. Look how the pedestrian safety has fucked up car design. LOOK AT IT.

It doesn't sound purely better than the old V8s, but the addition of turbo chatter makes the new V6s sound more interesting, if that makes sense.

First Ham loses brakes testing last year, now this. Guess Lewis + testing doesn't mix.

Honestly, you're a full if you don't think the LS series or 2JZ don't deserve top spot. Both have been used in a huge variety of cars, are as reliable as can be, fairly cheap, and can make a ton of power easily. There's a reason these two engines have such a huge aftermarket following.

Uh guys, this has been news for a while. By a while I mean a month. Little late for this.

Now if only Ford would finally grow a pair and make a awd Fiesta.

This was the topic on a COTD before, but you gotta love american auto manufacturers. Not only will let you buy pretty much any V8 they offer so you can stick it into God knows what chassis, but Ford here lets you buy factory reproductions of old chassis! Say what you want about the car culture here, but this is a…

It hasn't happened yet, but Irwindale Speedway, the home of Formula D, has been bought by a developer who's going to most likely turn it into a fucking mall. There's a 90% chance this is going to be the last year Irwindale will be on the calendar. Utterly tragic.

Safari rally. What once was WRC's longest and most grueling race, this 1000 km beast was dropped in 2002. The African rally championship still runs it, but not having top tear teams run in it is a disappointment.

5th gear: Calty Design Research is also the same studio that designed the first gen Lexus SC. No wonder I like the FT-1 so much.
