As a child of the 90's, I gotta disagree. Think along the same lines as analog vs digital watches. The priciest and most desirable watches are analog, while digital are mostly cheap commodities. Sure, digital were the hot new thing for a while when the tech was new, but there’s a reason analog has better stood the

“It almost looks like it could be a luxury sedan.”

This may random, seeing the Chiron head on reminds me of something... It looks like Bugatti just grafted their grille on to Alfa’s mid-late ‘00s face, from the 159 or Brera.

Well, I guess Colorado Springs is sort of the Florida of Colorado.

Maybe if you can get past the looks... I can’t. That wasn’t beaten with the ugly stick; it was beaten with the entire damn ugly tree.

Uh, oh. Infotainment system troubles? This is going to wreak havoc on their top-notch JD Power and Consumer Reports standings.

It would be more interesting to hear your opinion on the new show, having actually seen it, without a baseline to compare it to.

I guess that depends on which Corolla... The current Corolla, with its standard four speed slush-box and drum brakes is hardly less terrible.

The 6th gen is my second favorite Camry, after the 3rd, and one of the only two I’d actually own. It’s pleasantly bland, like a good vanilla ice cream.

And you, rescuethecivics, I’m guessing have never lived in or near a meaningfully sized city. Cars have their place, but shouldn’t be the ONLY transport option. Key word ONLY - apparently you missed that before. Nobody is advocating a transportation system based ONLY on trains, buses, unicycles etc. Rather, the answer

What exactly was Sabine Schmitz’s “substantive argument” for hating the Corvette Z06? It couldn’t keep up with the track monster Viper ACR? Enough schnitzel and sauerkraut weren’t consumed by its designers? If you’re going to blast a critically acclaimed car, you’d better have a better argument than “the suspension is

Thanks to Gran Turismo, as a boy I always thought I wanted a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. Especially an 8th gen. Considering ones with <100K miles have gone for around $16,000, I think there’s a chance to nab this one with 156K for under $15K.

I checked Edmunds True Cost to Own - a cool tool, which I like as it translates things like maintenance, mpgs, and repairs (reliability) into actual $$ figures. Using 2013 model years as a comparison point, the estimated 5-year ownership cost of the IS F was $56.6K vs $58K for the CTS-V. For an extra ~$280 a year (or

As did I... but I found the Volt’s interior to be far nicer. I miss the stark white and more distinctive design of the old Volt, but materials and quality wise it isn’t a contest - the Volt is just better than the Prius. Literally every comparison test between the two that I’ve read has agreed. I’m wondering how you

Yes... there’s pretty specific size (physical) and displacement restrictions. I believe there are many 4+ seater kei cars, but as I’ve only ever experienced them in the Gran Tourismo video games and never bothered to google interior specs/pictures, that’s just wild speculation.

Rule #1 of negotiation: always start by demanding more than you can reasonably expect.

I think these look strangely good on a set of muscle car rims:

Maybe we have a different idea of what qualifies as “a good amount of features”, but the Discovery SE doesn’t have full leather, heated seats, navigation, an LCD screen, or even fog lights. It’s not at Mitsubshi Mirage levels of basic, but neither is it fancier than a mid-spec, similarly sized crossover from a

I wouldn’t call that hidden...

No: FWD.
