I agree with you, front mid-engine is a thing.

Give it up Jalopnik, no amount of writing is going to convince us this series is that interesting. Just stop.

Seriously, just read the article. It’s pretty clear from your post that you didn’t.

The only thing that OPEC is worrying about these days is the emergence of the US as the world’s largest oil & natural gas producer and exporter.

Honda apparently couldn’t design an attractive car around those stupid EU pedestrian hood crash standards if their life depended on it. This is an ugly car, but at least it looks better than that miserable Civic. Either way, as a 20+ year Honda owner, no way I’d buy anything they currently build.

Have you driven an F1, IndyCar or other downforce producing high powered gasoline race car? Because I feel like that’s the only way you could come to the valid conclusion about the future being “ridiculously fun”.

The sound of an F1 car USED to be second to none. They sound horrible in this V6 turbo era. Still, that’s considerably better than some dinky EV.

I had a bad dealership experience at the closest VW dealership to me. I wouldn’t put it past them to lie to me. However the one I purchased my car from I trust. Also it’s quite easy to check to see how old a battery, brakes and/or tires are. The battery and tires will have a dates on them and the brakes would look…

The only other 50 mpg wagon around is a Prius, which is 10+ seconds to 60. So the TDI wagon is “king” of the thrifty wagons.

The cars come with new tires, among other things as well.

The TSI S model /= TDI S model. The diesel model comes with more standard features.

I, too, purchased a red 2015 GSW TDI DSG. And I’m starting to regret it. The fuel mileage is amazing! However getting a slushbox (no matter how good) was a mistake. This car, despite it’s utility and fuel thriftiness, is too boring! And the transmission’s auto shifting, even in sports mode, leaves much to be…

Yeah 19,000 rpm is so boring.

The air conditioning broke in my ‘92 Integra GS-R back in 2007. I have yet to fix it. I’m fairly confident the hottest I’ve ever felt in my entire life was an August day of that same year. I was stuck in stop and go traffic on the Cross Bronx Expressway for around 90 minutes. Must have been over 100 with the heat…

I recently bought a VW with the DSG transmission, in lieu of a manual, because it’s my daily driver and I spend a good amount of time in traffic. And finding a manual equipped car would have been difficult. This is the first time in over 20 years that I bought an automatic.

My God Honda dealerships are so desperate these days to be able to sell an honest to goodness SPORTS car that they’re pulling shit like this, over a special edition Civic?! Roped off and unable to touch? LOL, it’s a Civic. Allowing their reputation to be (rightfully) trashed...over a Civic! You can go pick up a…

Parallel parking is not included on the NC driver’s exam. I taught myself how to do it in college and am pretty good at it. Of course, unlike 75% of the drivers in this state, I’m actually good at driving a vehicle.

So does the 2nd gen refreshed R8 not count as a new R8? I’m confused here.

In NC any car built before 1996 (pre-OBD-II in other words) is exempt from emissions inspections.

Thank God we have these government agents around to protect us from the horrors of foreign market automobiles that would probably see less than 5000 miles a year of use.
