I was curious to know what the base price is as well, for the most basic version. I think a Panamera would make the ultimate road trip car. Four seats, loads of room, and go-fast when you need it.

Nice. Dare I ask how many miles it gets to a quart of oil? :P

What year is that? It reminds me of my Grandpa's old GMC grain truck. I think his is a 1956 or 1957, and still runs (and was still being used up until a few years ago).

Some of the newer automatics are getting better fuel economy than the manual. For example, the BR-Z/FR-S. The automatic has the ability to shift incredibly fast - much faster than a human.

The only manual experience I've got so far was driving my dad's daily commuter Toyota Tercel. I'd almost recommend picking up a cheap beater to practice on so that when you do get something nice you don't have to worry so much about grinding gears. At least that's what I'd like to do - get a beater and practice on…

Needs more hyabusa...

The only way I'd pay $15k for a Cavalier is if it was made from solid gold. I'd then proceed to melt it down, and sell it that way.

As someone who lived in Hamilton for six months, I can see it being a good stand-in for Detroit.

Now that I did not know. I guess I learn something new everyday...

Is there really much of a difference between the Mazda 2 and the Fiesta? I thought the differences were strictly cosmetic.

That does make me wonder though - where is the line drawn between parking lot and driveway? Could a person claim a parking lot is actually a driveway to get out of such a ticket?

I was thinking that exact same thing. As someone who is still in that dating age, I wish I had a car with bucket seats.

Caravenception? Caraception? There's got to be some sort of joke in there.

I lovingly discovered that if I folded down the back seats of my civic, I could fit 8' boards in it. Now whatever car I look at, for some reason I feel needs to be able to do the same.

Maybe not on demand, but that video posted yesterday had some lifted Subarus...

How do you find the ecoboost? Is it not too terrible on fuel?

As someone who lived in Calgary for a few years, I completely agree.

I don't think I've actually ever heard them called that before.

I know.... I was just teasing.
