Absolutely they have. My partner wouldn't disagree, though, because she and I go to great lengths to avoid her getting pregnant.

Yeah, I'm not on the sympathy train for motorweek. It doesn't have any views because it's bad motoring programming, regardless of nostalgia or the fact that it was the lone torch bearer for American car television programming for so long. Bad is bad, unless we're doing the ironic hipster thing.

Thin Mints are not what they once were. I'm 99% positive that that recipe has changed within the last 5-6 years, and they almost suck now.

Pretty?

It's almost as if pregnancy is compulsory and spontaneous on Jezebel. There's nothing you can do to prevent it, and it's certainly not your fault in any way, shape, or form if you do get pregnant!

I don't mind driving Yarii with the 5-speed stick; slam the pedal to the floor and hustle it everywhere without worrying about going significantly over the speed limit.

Obviously as technology catches up that becomes a more viable option, but for the past 10 years (most notably since the UK introduced reduced road taxes for 1.0L cars), that adequacy hasn't been there; lambasting a country that has 2.34 markets in which that kind of an engine makes sense for not having jumped on that…

True as that may be, lambasting Americans because they won't buy cars that struggle to maintain 70 MPH is similarly moronic.

This is incredibly tame compared to the discussions that happen on hardcore F1 enthusiast sites, particularly those based in the UK.

Driveable? Sure. But I believe it was Jeremy Clarkson who described driving a 1.0L Yaris on the M1 as the most terrifying experience of his life. When you consider that most Americans use something akin to the M1 on a daily basis, this becomes an issue.

Agreed. I think that the smaller, turbo'd motors are marginally better (can't argue with the awesome power curves), but it's a cost-benefit issue as it sits.

I think the EcoBoost program shows precisely that it doesn't really work. I'm a fan of the engines, but by and large, the response on the EcoBoost V6 in the F150s (and my experience in an Escape EcoBoost) is that it doesn't really return significantly better mileage. Works well on the EPA loop, which is fine, and the…

You're not going to save gas, most likely. Corvettes get pretty solid gas mileage (30 hwy) as it sits, and a heavily boosted 4 banger isn't going to do any better, especially when it has to be in the boost to make that power.

that's high praise for a CVT.

If I were in the market for a mid-size sedan, the 6 would be the one on paper having not driven either. I'm an especially big fan of the clutch/TC combo automatic transmission; if it works like reviewers have said it does, it makes me question why any average car would need a DCT. I like that.

Older Ferraris (10-15+ years old)? Still interested. New Ferraris? Completely disinterested. They don't do anything for me in the least

Personally, I had given up on the track events from day one. At the prices they have to charge, especially given the potentially huge liabilities that participants have to bear if they have an issue that damages the track surface, it just doesn't make sense to me. Harris Hill is ~30 minutes away and TWS is an hour…

My commute is right around 10 minutes. Yet another contender emerges.
