Well, there’s objective superiority and subjective superiority. If you’d like to get into a debate about the merits of quantitative (objective) and qualitative (subjective) reasoning and vice versa, that’s fine. But calling something trash is fundamentally a subjective comment. Trash is something that’s genuinely…

This thing sounds 90% like a Ferrari 458, for obvious mechanical reasons. This is a great thing for the Toyota, and a terrible thing for the Ferrari, the sound of which I just don’t get the appeal of.

Honestly, I like the (pre-refresh) QX56's front-end. You rarely see the kind of curvature it features around the upper portions of its grille and headlights, and as is the case with the Juke, I find myself appreciating it for its brazen unattractiveness. Instead of trying to fit car-like styling onto a truck chassis,…

If by individualist you mean individualist, then either. If by individualist you mean “individualist”, then neither. Individualists are more concerned with the way they interpret the world than how the world interprets them.

I believe they call this “individualism” and “atomization”. “Your [meaning, identity with which I don’t identify] feelings” don’t matter as much as “my [meaning identity with which I do identify] feelings” because you’re not me, and I matter more than anyone else. The progressive veil is just one worn to deflect…

This goes far beyond tech. Why do you think that BMW, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz have such a lock on the mainstream luxury market, and Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, and Rolls-Royce are the default, “look how rich I am” choices? It’s called heuristics—they’re basically rules-of-thumb. They’re fine to use as an…

I’m sorry, but if cars are inherently dangerous—and they are, regardless of how many airbags and lane-keeping and automatic-braking assistants they have—then motorcycles are magnitudes more so.

Maybe so, but it's very busy-looking, and if you're in the habit of being able to view your tach and speedometer at the same time—like I'd imagine most people are, assuming they're in the habit of looking at their tachometer at all—it ends up being more distracting.

Glad to see the stupid two-tiered gauge cluster is finally, after 10 years, gone. And can we please, please just go back to liftback bodystyles? These trunk lids are so...truncated that it's going to be impossible to access their increasing space in a couple of years. Just stupid.

Why the hell not? Or a true, three-bank W engine...basically, I want Hyundai to do something cool that they know will lose they money because they want to, and because they see technical, technological, and specifically non-financial gain from doing so, as that'd prove to me and everyone else that they genuinely car…

My guess is probably because there aren’t any precedents for Hyundai delivering on this kind of thing. The Genesis Coupe was more or less anticipated, and other than that, their sportiest cars have been the Veloster and Tiburon—hardly hard-driving, high-revving sports cars. As for the “hate” Tesla receives, you can…

Two years? When was that "first" new NSX concept shown? Five years ago? And that Model X was more than three years ago. This stuff takes time...although I wish they'd hurry up, too.

I'm a bit of a Hyundai booster, but I'll admit a bit of disappointment and frustration, too. Twin-turbo V8's and highly-boosted fours are great, but Hyundai need to do an engineering-y kind of thing, like making a double-digit-cylinder count engine or something in a weird, non-V/straight engine configuration, or some…

“N" is for Namyang, the location of their leading performance and design center in Korea. I'd have preferred that they just called the sub-brand by the actual, Korean "Namyang", but people would just think it was a Chinese thing, and they'd probably pronounce it N'aam-yaeng instead of Nahm-yahng, the latter of which…

This remains the only car that I would buy if I won the lottery without a moment of doubt or pondering. I’d probably keep my 125,000 mile Forester, and I might indulge in a Vanquish Volante or stock NSX, maybe even an F12, Murcielago, or Lambo 400GT, but the LFA is a must-buy...assuming there’d be any on the market…

Because there is but one quality in a car that matters to me above all else, and that’s engine sound. Turbos both muffle sound and contribute to engine downspeeding (i.e., lower redlines and more time spent at lower revs), which runs counter to my aural preferences. It has nothing to do with purity, about which I care…

I didn’t say it was artificial, just that it sounded like it is. Honestly, if this is the best sound that a “properly-tuned turbocharged car with a free-flowing exhaust” can make, then whether or not it’s natural is irrelevant.

Exactly! I don’t care what GI-related sounds it makes; it’s an engine. I want it to sound like one. Also, the way that the crackling-popping-farting sound is identical every time it occurs in this idle-revving sounds absurdly artificial. Suffice to say, in 10 years I'll be looking to buy a used 991 with the…

I don't know what it is about offroaders from 2nd-tier East Asian manufacturers, but in my infinite-space dream-garage, one of these and a SsangYong Kyron both find their place.

All his nonsense aside, Huckabee isn’t wrong about the “follow the law only if it’s right” part. A law is only worth following if it makes sense. E.g. you probably wouldn’t follow a law that said you must stone to death every fourth puppy that you see. Would we have a law as nonsensical as that? Well, no, but the…
