I have a 40km commute each way. On Ottawa, Canada. No fracking way am I taking public transit, or biking. Ever. We need better infrastructure for cars in cities, like Ottawa, that are not conducive to public transport or biking.

Alfa 4C.  It looks like it should be the ultimate sports car. Yet between the transmission not being a manual and the terrible steering it was a let down.

Alfa Romeo not putting the 2uettottanta concept into production:

I am one of those potential owners. I had a reservation for a Model 3 within hours of its launch. I cancelled my reservation due to Elon Musk. I will never, ever buy a Tesla as long as he is the way he is.

Aston gets it. As all manufacturers make same-same vehicles, Aston makes the car the car-nut wants and can enjoy driving. I hope it gets mass produced and they sell every single one they can make. Bravo.

That car needs the Busso V6. Fixes everything. Then it is a gem. With the 4cyl it is an underpowered unmemorable unreliable old Alfa. I love Alfa Romeos, but they need their signature V6 (and a manual) to be a proper Alfa. Forza Alfa!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… Alfa should have given us a “Busso” V6 between the base Giulia and the Quadrifoglio. That’s the car that may enthusiasts would buy. 

I agree, Jag. Nobody thinks a Lexus us cool, even though they can be fabulous. If sports car, Jag F-Type. But if you want the F-Type speed with comfort class and much better looks, get a XJ-R. They are cheap, easy to maintain (owned one) and dripping with cool. Make you look sophisticated and rich.

A Dodge Journey, likely priced in the basement, and still coming with a full factory warranty is not as bad of a choice as people pretend. It won’t be great, but it’ll get you to work and school if you need a car.

How about dealers lose their franchise if they mark up past MSRP. Manufacturers can do this easily.

What’s the worst article format of all time?

I will take an older Vantage V12 with a manual, thank you. I do not care if it is slightly slower. That is not the point.

These 4cyl Giulias are reliable, fun sedans to drive. I would drive one in a heartbeat IF IT CAME WITH A MANUAL. Alfas have manuals. End.

Polestar 2 this morning

Pontiac G6 GT. Not the most thrilling car to drive, but the folding hardtop makes for a great 4 seasons ride with a decent back seat.

My new XC40 Recharge right after getting some PPF love at the detailer:

May not seem like much, but I love my 3rd Gen 4Runner! 248K miles and going strong!
