Oh Mike, why are you so oft absent from columns on this website? Too often it is run down with mindless garbage. I wholly enjoy both your writing style and clear, concise points. I know you must be busy with all your important journalistic efforts, but try to make more time for us, pretty please?

Well shame on me, I guess that's what happens when you assume. Maybe you can then explain why you agree that the brakes on the C-Max are better than an M5?

I remember when the GTR came out there was an article written about how tough it was to make an exhaust for the car that added horsepower, rather than lost it, due to the Nissan Engineer's scientific method used so heavily in the development. This is a true nerd's car.

That may be, but it is absolutely available in Forza as a DLC.

That's what I thought. I made that exact argument on the M5 review...or maybe the Alpina B7. I can't remember which. You can go there and see how I was argued against. Toys is a bullshit 'gimme' category and since none of the writers confer with one-another before posting the numbers are essentially useless. If they…

It's a good cross section of the current state of our society. "I had to buy a 4s to hold me over till then." Yes, you had to. Because if you didn't, the world might miss out on all your important Tweets. People disgust me.

I think a one-off concept car that you can buy in Forza counts. Unless you're a Mazda Test Driver I guess...

Ford C-Max Hybrid, with 50% better braking (it regenerates!!!) and 30% cooler toys than a BMW M5!******

Thank freakin' god. I did not know this was a possibility, but boy am I excited to get rid of all that annoying bullshit.

I can't wait until Hennessy gets a hold of one of these....mega drool.

Ermahgerd, new John Cooper Works Mini. Cue Okulski saying the brand is ruined wah wah wah wah.

Well said!

I'm pretty sure that Countryman does very well in the world rally stage.

Thank you for the background image, sir.

I agree. What I dislike the most is that a unionized workforce does not work for the company, they work for the union. They're interests lie in their paycheck, their hours and not working too hard. Quality is probably lowest on their priority list. So when a worker purposely injures themselves because they don't want…

Burn it, burn it to the ground

How the hell did that guy get out that far without sinking?

No matter how impressive the numbers end up, there will always be nay-sayers for this car.

Scared by wheel spacers/adapters? What are you, 90 years old?
