The FR-S seems like it is out of place as a Scion. Some believe it would be more successful branded as a Toyota. Has the FR-S been successful as a Scion? Has it met Scion's goals and do FR-S buyers fit Scion demographic targets? I am a 40-something male who bought an FR-S, as an additional vehicle.

Completely agree on the adaptive cruise control. I like it so much it *might* be enough to make me choose an automatic instead of a manual, since ACC doesn't work on a manual.

That's classic. I think he pauses to put in ear plugs before leaving the parking lot. Notice the classic Italian electrical system (dangling wires) under the center dash. Also, notice the steering wheel flex with lack of power steering. But it sounds great and looks like fun!

I've flown AirTran a lot. I flew them just a couple weeks ago, in fact. They always had convenient non-stop routes from IND to destinations in Florida and Las Vegas. I always liked them, friendly service, great fares, convenient routes, no complaints. The Southwest acquisition actually changed some of their routes

Pagani. Pagani is becoming what Ferrari was, and want Ferrari wants to get back to. Ferrari as a brand is already diluted. I see Ferrari more like Porsche today, becoming more diverse, less exclusive, even more attainable. Pagani is the stuff of teenage posters and dreams.

You can lease if you drive a lot of miles, and sometimes it makes the most sense to lease even if you drive a lot. I recently leased a new CTS and I drive a lot, around 30k miles per year (25k on this vehicle). I added 10k miles/yr to the base 15k mi/yr lease for 20 cents per mile. So I have a 25k mile/yr lease over

GM did create the dealership problem, and they have a nearly impossible task of fixing it. They would have to buy out maybe two-thirds of the stores, call it 600-ish, for many millions each. And face years of litigation before they could complete it. Also, they would need to force their remaining stores to

A carbureted V12 Lambo. Tell us about how it coughs and spits when it is cold and you have to set the choke manually. Record the awesome sounds in video. Tell us about the overflowing character and personality that only comes from a classic Italian sportscar with a supercar heart. Infinitely cooler than a 360.

I owned a CTS-V sedan (manual) and now drive a new CTS Vsport. I considered another V wagon instead of the Vsport, but decided on the Vsport because I really do think it handles better overall. It is not as quick, but it isn't too far off.

I think we are in for a surprise with the engine on this thing. I think it may be a V8. Why the heat extractor with a turbo V6? The current applications of the TT V6 don't have issues with cooling and don't have heat extractors. Also, these spy shots show what surely looks like carbon/ceramic brakes. Those are

The problem isn't that the LFA cost $400k, or only 500 made, or too rare. The reason it is not a good halo car is because it is a LEXUS. The LFA is completely inconsistent with who Lexus is, and therefore it is meaningless to the Lexus buyer. If the LFA, exactly as it is, price and all, was released as the new

Can I pack my family and their luggage in this and take a 500+ mile road trip, like the Charger? Until fast remote charging is available everywhere, the Tesla will be a niche car. A very cool, very fast niche though.

Because nobody drag races a Miata or FRS and therefore there is no good reason to choose an auto...

I'd take the manual, because it's more fun. And also can goose the throttle while rolling to a stop or start in a parking garage or parking lot. And it's more fun.

Awful. Just awful. Alphanumeric can sometimes work but CT6 is terrible. C implies small and T implies not sporty and 6 implies 6-cylinders or mid size. Terrible name for a large flagship.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but it needs more power. In a world of 204mph Chargers and 556hp small Cadillacs, I expect more from the new AMG C-class.

I agree Cadillac needs to be true to themselves. Cadillac should mean over-the-top styling, power, size, personality or character. Not necessarily all of those, but at least one. The CTS-V (2nd gen) had landmark power. The Escalade has style, size, and personality. The ATS and new CTS are great cars, and might be

They built a Viper?

Add the black/red interior to match the red seat belts and brake calipers and that's it...

I had a V2 sedan and now a 14 V-sport. CUE really is not that bad. In fact, I have come to like it. I think they have done some recent updates to CUE to make it more responsive. It is certainly not a reason to avoid the new platform. I considered another V2 instead of the new V-sport, but the new chassis is
