No, I did not. That does, in fact, suggest that he knew the intended use, but does not explicitly state that he did. Is it so hard for you to imagine an engineer innocently developing a system that upper management decides to apply illegally, and that the engineer could now take the blame? It's the precedent that I…

It’s not quite that simple. Engineers develop many systems, that, used improperly, are illegal. These charges make Liang accountable for the use of the system, not just the design. The guilty plea here suggests that Liang knew the intended use of the defeat device, but it’s still troubling. All management needs to do…

Can the F Performance version of this be called the F-UX? Please??

“Most cars have four or five forward speeds"? When was this written? 1977??

CP, mostly because I won't fit in it at any price.

Those Toyota trucks with the "TRD" billboards on their beds. Do I need to explain further?

Ok, I'm confused. Is it "grille" or "grill" in this case, since the "grille" on this car seems to have come from somebody's charcoal "grill"?

These were available from the factory with a 4-speed stick. Saw one at one of the Carlisle swap meets. Sure did look odd with a bench seat and a rubber-booted shifter sticking out of the floor.

I had a similar reaction yesterday when I parked my 1968 Mustang convertible next to a new Honda Civic, and the Mustang looked downright tiny.

Take someone else's failed product, make it less innovative and more expensive, and re-launch it 10 years later. Sure. That'll work.

Excessive length? check. Four doors? check. Full-coil suspension? check. Independent front/live axle rear suspension? check. Separate cargo compartment? check. Big, powerful V8? check. Luxurious, comfortable interior? check. Poor chassis dynamics? check.

My idea of "Perfect Heaven" would include affordable, reliable Aston Martins.

Corvette drivers are old? Hello? Have you seen the geezers wheezing their way to the golf course in their 911s? I think the Corvette’s price has just as much to do with the demographics as its image.

Never understood why they didn’t offer a coupe with the Tau V8. The car was too big and heavy to appeal to the serious tuner crowd, and too milquetoast for the Mustang GT and Camaro SS crowd. Who were they really aiming for?

A mid-engine car makes more sense as a low-volume halo car for Cadillac than it does as sub-$100K car for Chevrolet.

3rd Gear: Does A Mid-Engined Corvette Even Make Sense?

I had a ‘92 Trofeo. Unique styling, great seats, one of the best ride/handling balances GM offered at the time, and the "gee whiz" factor of the Visual Information Center and its infrared touch-screen. Great car for a 30-mile commute with a mix of two-lanes, open freeways, and stop-and-go traffic.

Is this a scale model, or just poorly staged photography that makes it look like a scale model?

I HATE those “notices.” Hardly a day goes by that I don’t have to talk my 84-year-old mother down off the ledge because the warranty on her washing machine, refrigerator, water heater, can opener, pinking shears, light bulbs, canned dog food, or her Buick is going to expire. If I had a dollar for every time I had to…
