This.

@CoyoteBrown: It is. One of the hardest accelerating cars I've ever been in was a 914 with a 250hp 13B. It was insanely quick, but cooling was an ongoing problem.

Mmmmmm. LeMons eye candy on a Monday.

@fodder650: Forgive me if this is inappropriate at this moment, but I can't be the only one who read this and had a mental image of Ron Pratt scratching out a half-million dollar check for a Fiero.

Even after slashing eight grand off the original MSRP this is still more expensive than a new Mazdaspeed 3 or a Miata. The 3 will beat this like a rented mule and the MX5 is a better driving car because it doesn't way 3,000 pounds.

While alive, he lived.

Seems like an awful lot of money for a coupe.

Is the Chicago show as bad as it looks this year?

If the recreational truck market is cratering as much as GM and Ford are admitting, don'tcha have to wonder just how big the market is for commercial pickup buyers who weren't getting the job done with 9.5 tons of tow capacity? Just how big is that market between that 18,800 and 20,000 pound capacity, or two and three…

@zerofritz: Get with the program. This is the new, post-manifesto Jalop.

Ray, meet Sam. Sam, say hello to Ray.

@TR3-A: It doesn't sound that much different to me than their handling of the engine sludge fiasco a couple of years ago.

@boomchek: A heart-click for you.

Funny, it doesn't look like it could kill you before you got out of second gear.

@R-GTI: That's a 737.

@powermatic: All good points, but if you're only looking for the most driving fun for $29K - I think this one is hard to beat.

@sos10: One small problem? As it stands right now, the combined floor mat/pedal shim recalls for unintended acceleration are the second-largest recall campaign in US history.

VOTE: Ziepod

@LandofMinos, Alan Mulally has a closet full of killer robots.:

What the hell are their PR people thinking? This is either going to blow up in their faces quickly if NBC fact-checks the story, or (worse) later in court when plaintiffs lawyers roll the tape for the jury as evidence of Toyota's dishonesty.
