It looks constipated... With braces...

I'd like to see a retest where they put a Tesla up against the Lotus with a full tank on the test track. I'm pretty sure the Lotus would go further. Yes, let's give Tesla enough slack to hang themselves with :)

For a company that has collected so much money from so many sources, they sure are trying to screw their customers out of more. Why can't we just let Tesla die? All of their products have been crap so far. It's an image thing similar to Tesla. If it means that much to people there's a hybrid S-Class, LS, and 7 series.

My gf would love this. She loves Z's and she loves rice.

Doesn't the normal Focus already have 160hp? 177 isn't exactly bridging the gap. Unless they do some serious weight redux. Which in a mild sporty version I'm all for.

Any chance we could finally get Quattro and a stick in the thing?

It's... It's... BEAUTIFUL! @_@

They didn't let their stock lapse, they had in exactly what they wanted to have for the event. Taking even more money off a manual would begin to cut into their profit, as where discounting the auto just cuts into their BS hike-ups.

I would like to say that in this case, greed is good. As most people would never or can't drive a manual, they will be around as long as companies can get away with charging extra for an auto. It is the one bright point I see when looking at price lists at most dealerships.

As much I'd like to say the Corvette, I feel like I can't because of its lack of usability and size. So I present to you the Impala SS droptop.

No one said he was a GOOD drug trafficker.

That anyone who wants a Corvette is inadequately equipped. Some people really just want world class speed on the cheap. It really performs well above its price tag, by throwing out and glossing over some non-essentials. It's not about organ size, it's about affordability.

The NSX. A lighter, funner, more efficient, more dependable version of a high dollar niche. It was to sports cars what the Miata was to Brit roadsters.

You can use smaller turbos more efficiently if they only have to cover 2 cylinders. I don't thnk it will be a matter of size difference. I think it come down to how many cylinders per turbo they want to use.

I'll be honest, I've had this little shovel since I was 5. It used to be a toy so I felt like I was helping my brother shovel. But guess what? It's now perfect trunk size.

Well the Corvette was my dream car when I was little. It still pretty much is one of them. Now do I like the sound of a Vtec NSX? Yes. But the idea of a muscle car with Ferrari beating agility with a 1942 truck engine in it, that sounds like an SS396, all wrapped in that sexy body, well I imagine it's the kind of…

Exactly. I feel like if a car like the FR-S is the entry level Jalopmobile, then this is the second or third step up.

Why is there so much Jalop hate for the Vette? This is a car we should celebrating. It's the only sports car now a days that doesn't drive itself or have a million wacky technology features. It is leaf springs and pushrods. Although most are auto, you can easily find one with a stick. And before the ZR1, when they…

Ray, isn't the Cee'd the same as the Forte? So won't this be a facelift for the Forte too?

I'm assuming this is to offset the EPA numbers of the 600hp drift FR-S?
