I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this, but the Veloster N is now available with an 8-speed DCT (automatic). In my area, the automatics are much easier to find.

It’s a little odd to me that they didn’t include the GT-R in their “we make fun cars” advertisement. I know they want to focus on the Z, but it could have been in the last shot of the whole lineup. Looking again, I guess they are only showing their new or updated cars for this year.

Wow! I usually feel like an asshole when I point this stuff out. It makes me feel special that you read the comments!

The carmaker tied a balloon full of Helium hydrogen to a toy model of its Duster.

Just the title of this made me laugh uncontrollably. The article is amazing. A recall to find a gold pen? Perfection.

I’m a fan of Hyundai, and I think they have been doing great things lately. I was super excited about this truck… until today. The concept had a 2+2 kind of vibe with an almost full-size bed and small rear doors/seats. This went the other way and looks to be just a modern Subaru Baja.

Yeah I have the Sport Tech Package. I wanted a manual but you can’t get the panoramic sunroof and ventilated seats without the DCT (in the USA).

At the beginning of 2019, I bought a 2018 Elantra GT Sport CPO because it was $10k less than new, only had 9,000 miles, and the dealership offered a lifetime powertrain warranty. Considering it has a turbo and DCT, I wanted that peace of mind. Weird how different all these experiences are!

I had a 2012 Miata Sport, and I miss it daily.

I love the Autozams but have never seen one in person. I know they are small, but seeing one next to a Civic Del Sol really puts it into perspective. Yikes!

I really don’t like that cladding. The front end looks cool head on, but at an angle it looks like a chipmunk with a mouth full of nuts. I bet the first one I see will be in Yellow Springs.

This was how I was taught, and I like to teach this way as well. It also helps to explain what is actually happening mechanically. 

Oh it’s in there. Zoom and enhance! 

Richard Petty is still alive?!?

The GX isn’t a bad suggestion, but a 4Runner TRD or Trail Premium may fit the bill. There are a few near Nashville in that price range.

I’m guessing with $17 Billion to burn, they need to travel a little further out. “Spread out, boys! We’ve got brown people to arrest!” - Border Patrol, probably.

It will be limited production if people don’t buy them. Look at the Elantra GT. 

Not gonna lie: I think this is rad. Would I buy it or use it? Probably not.
But I can imagine taking a road trip and my passenger can do all the flipping. Maybe DJ a little? Skritchy Scratch!

I most certainly agree!

The two most recent are about this issue specifically. The owner responded with a long post but basically it was “we’ve had this policy for 40 years.”
