Clicked just to say this. This is a better choice than anything he mentioned.

Toyota Avalon?

Fast on the straights, slow in the corners.

Tom, do not challenge the insurance industry advertisers. There is no peak to the stupidity, as there can always be more to come

I am not confident that Subie would be around, at all, if not for AWD. I can’t see many people clambering to buy a typical Japanese sedan with a motor that you need a twin post lift to work on (or the hands of a 12 year old girl) and the cost that carries, vs. a much simpler design of a very similar car from another…

Actually they’re made by Hitachi.

Remove a couple drive shafts and any Subaru can be RWD.

Anybody who’d like to know more about Subaru’s rather interesting rise to power here in the US might want to check out the weirdly-titled but well-written book “Where The Suckers Moon.”

Before the Toyobaru launched, there were two camps of people. The “It needs more power” camp and the “Power doesn’t matter, it’s about the driving experience” camp. Now after it’s been around a while, there are still two camps of people. The “It need more power” camp and the “Yeah, you were right.” camp.

with two people inside it drops to 9 seconds

0-60 less than 6 seconds? If the Miata wasn’t RWD I could think of no singular argument to be made as to why someone shouldn’t just buy a Focus ST

I’m not a mechanic, but I follow reddit’s http://reddit.com/r/justrolledin… . There are a LOT of very scary bald tires and completely ruined brakes and shot ball joints and wheel bearings that the posters (claim) the customer wants to take home. I wish in these cases there was some legal ability to hold the car…

This happened to me in Texas. I took my ‘02 Focus SVT across the street from work to have my brakes checked. Seemed like one of the rotors was warped. They called me not even an hour later and said I needed a complete brake overhaul to the tune of $600. They also told me I couldn’t take the car as it was unsafe to…

I yearn for the day that this happens to me so I can tell them to go fk themselves... WHY WON’T IT EVER HAPPEN!!?!?!?!?!

Oh, also, there’s huge matters of good taste here, since selfie sticks are the new Crocs and Socks combo.

Are you sure that’s not just the new 911?

Can we stop calling multi-thousand page you-have-to-pass-it-to-read-it treaties “free trade” and call them what they are, managed trade for benefit of those with the most political influence.
