But I really have to wonder why these people who don't like rear-wheel drive or wanted a small minivan didn't buy a car from another manufacturer. And if the answer includes the word "premium," I don't want to know.

But I know that there are even more ardent car owners than VW people. What group of car owners do you think are the worst when it comes to ranting about their rides?

I'd aim here to at least cause serious damage in $$$

Crap, not the doe eyes of the SL again...

Aaah, the good ol' trams that felt like spaceships when I was a kid (early 90's).

Why it's techno-fantastic: VW makes its Phaetons and Bentley Flying Spurs here in Dresden's all-glass temple to cutting-edge manufacturing processes. They also store their cars in a gigantic glass tower, probably just to look cool.

Screams "CHEAP!"

I saw one in Stockholm last week. The girl and the guy I was with didn't believe me it was up to 80 years old. It should clunk and smoke, they said. "It must be a replica."

GM says they expect to take a $200 million loss in the second quarter, primarily due to recall-related repairs.

The Viper is currently only available with a stick, but you've got to start buying the damn things! Otherwise Fiat-Chrysler won't make another, with or without a manual.

Amateur as far as sins go. That said: mmmm, amateurs...

What?! It's in public! I's not illegal to stare!

If one of you is miserable, you're inevitably both going to be miserable. Good relationships aren't built off of a material possession, be it a car, a huge stone or whatever. They're built off mutual respect.

In Bulgaria we simply call it a "bread/cheese pie delivery vehicle" with a cute diminutive suffix. In english this would be "bakerette", "pielette", "cakester", etc.

It’s here we expect greatness. We expect the Alfa muscle to show, delivering an exquisite driving experience matching its Italian counterpart. The Dart handles well, but it doesn’t leaving you gushing.

As graceful as a sow dragging its saggy tits in the mud.
