I still don’t understand why this car doesn’t have a manual transmission. Everything about it screams manual.

Offering it Automatic-only surely didn’t help.

I rented a C63 AMG along the PCH for a week once. A fantastical car...but the entire time I was thinking how much better it would be with a manual. If there’s any sort of sporting pretence in a car, I want a manual.

There’s a big difference between driving cars that have an aggressive personality when you drive them, and cars that just try way too hard to look mean (but probably have all kinds of nanny tech inside). All these angry/squinty cars look like they haven’t been able to go to the bathroom in days.

Personally, I can’t stand the whole aggresive/angry trend in car design these days. Everything is all over-wrought, squinty, angled, blacked-out, and just way too over-designed in an attempt to intimidate. I miss honest designs and happy cars (and no not Mazda face happy) that were ok with being friendly. Shouldn’t…

Personally I think the 993 looks best in maroon (although they like to call it Arena Red).

McLaren will always mean Marlboro livery to me.

VW needs to give us cars that have some soul again. I still have fond memories of the Westfalias from my childhood. Now that Im old enough where I have some kiddos of my own, I'd love to get a new T5 Camper Van and pass on the experience.

You're missing the point. You don't sit on buttons.

Its' not about them having luxurious features or buttons...they are just damn comfortable to sit it for long periods of time. Volvo is a step above for some reason. Last summer, I drove 3000 miles in 3 days with an 8-month pregnant wife, and I didn't hear a peep about being uncomfortable. Their seats are some of…

Short of being a manual (which Ive started to give up on when it comes to wagons) this is the one car that I'm really hoping comes to North America, as its exactly what'd Id love to buy. Just the right size, nicely designed (its no 80s Merc, but nothing is), and in the price range I could still afford.

Every car needs more flying buttresses.

That looks nice and all, but I still wish we could just get this guy (and his variants)

And the other way to avoid these problems? A way to drive around worry-free in a fun, enjoyable, high-end sports car without attracting too much attention, or spending too much on maintenance, or scraping your bumper on every single driveway? A way you can use your car as more than just a toy, a way you can park it on…

I actually did this exact thing a few years ago. Was looking at buying a new BMW 128i....and came really close, till I realized that for the same price, I could get a pretty nice Cayman. Best decisions I've ever made. Not only is it a fantastic car...that new BMW is probably worth 5-10k less now than the Porsche.

One of my favorite bridges in Europe. Both directions provide an amazing view when crossing.

This looks so much nicer than the Barris version. But that's not necessarily a high bar...I find Barris cars to be generally terrible.

I have no idea what Chowbro means, but it sounds like the general hate of BMW owners transcend all borders.

Good sound is a dying element of cars today, whether on the track or the street. It's a real shame, as the sound of a car is one of the most important elements of a fun experience. Frankly, Turbos sound like whispy farts to me. Give me a NA aspirated V6 or V8 any day! Ideally air-cooled, but I don't want to get…

I always thought this gen of the Cavalier (if not this particular example) was rather handsome. From a visual standpoint at least, much better than the Sunfire that replaced it...now that is truly the ugliest car of the last twenty years (some think its the Aztek, but they'd be wrong).
