Camaro isn’t a sales threat to any other Chevy. And its two core models sell very very well. It has a massive following, and has been anthropomorphized in a massive film franchise.

I wonder, though, could a $40K Brzsti justify itself on Z conquests? Because you’re right, the Z is in its boulevardier / tribute phase. I bet a Subie could snatch the remaining life right out of the Z.

They’d have takers at $40K. But too many of them will come at the expense of the $40K WRX STi.

That’s okay. There is a market for $35K-$40K ~300hp enthusiast cars that aren’t muscle cars.

I admire your pitch, but something tells me if the car could take a 50% power bump and steer clear of expensive and reputation-sullying breakage — performance enthusiasts are merciless when the car isn’t over-engineered — they’d have done it by now.

Why? Don’t you already have yours? Nobody’s gonna show up in your carport and bolt this stuff on while you sleep.

Young me can’t stop saying “inconceivable!”

I’m sure the generic nature of this trailer is because the movie has some big surprises in store about what the Justice League is up against and where they have to go and what they have to do to save the day. I bet the movie even has a surprising look and feel as a result. The marketeers know that right now all we…

No, Democrats have been getting their asses handed to them. That’s why both houses of Congress and 34 state legislatures are controlled by Republicans. Yes, with help from gerrymandering and voter suppression techniques, but the Donkey hasn’t exactly been pulling hard or in a consistent direction.

It’s hard to be happy about the Republicans’ inability to find unity on a complex problem. They’re only in that position because the Democrats couldn’t get themselves elected.

See my follow-up to ScienceJesus. (BTW, I don’t bother to dispute sales claims because I can’t be bothered. Comics are not an entertainment juggernaut.) I’m not sure the tail can keep wagging the dog indefinitely. It’s possible that comics remain a viable tidepool with a sustaining core of buyers that are used to…

I’m not sure you really care to understand what I’m saying. There is no one hand and other hand. Thor is a hero identity. It’s an identity that hasn’t always been carried by the same person, or for that matter the same characterization of the same person. Sorry you don’t like Jane Foster as Thor, but she’s legit, your…

I really hope you’re wrong. I really hope this is a way to get more people to check out the new characters and accept that they’re deserving of their titles. They’re interesting characters with compelling struggles that strengthen the significance and meaning of their hero identities.

Scenario the first: you download huge volumes of stuff, but you don’t upload a whole lot of text. They might decide to capture everything you post or send.

Peter Stormare in Constantine is my second-favorite Satan.

People don’t. Car nerds do, for a second and a half, and then it becomes invisible because it’s so dull and so common.

CRV (or RAV4) is probably the best answer for invisibility.

Now that it’s not new, the Venza will fade away fom public consciousness for a decade or so. It’s not differently-shaped enough from other crossovers, or midsize sedans for that matter, to be noticed.

“Um, no” — universal greeting of a d-bag. Don’t be a d-bag.

Respectfully disagree if you like, but if you’re using less clutch taking off in second than in first it’s because your takeoff from first needs work. If you can leave in second without adding throttle above idle, you can do it in first too. First is a shorter gear than second. It’s a smaller gap from a stop to idle…
