I was thinking the same thing. With a manual this thing seems like it would be a blast to run around the coastal and mountain roads of Oregon pretending I was still in high school.

I admit to hating on Acura in recent years, and not because of FWD, lack of a V8, and no manual transmission. No, it was the wretched styling, miserable dual LCD interiors, underwhelming small-car option (ILX), and the complete lack of a turbocharged option. Even Lexus had finally adopted it. Yes, there was the…

+1.  I’d be running to the dealer to place a deposit if this was the case.

“I don’t want more power so other people shouldn’t have it either.”

Much like the EPA’s MPGe ratings conveniently ignore the realities of how electricity actually gets made... or that electricity isn’t actually sold in “gallon” containers. Whatever.

Who the hell told you I was professional?

I don’t wish bad things for a single worker or anyone dependent on them, but it’s hard to watch all these companies that work only for the next quarter’s profit, and don’t care one whit for the long term impacts of their behavior, panic at not making money for 2 weeks, and to not experience a little bit of…

Classic example of “I’m rich because I’m smart, and I’m smart because I’m rich” phenomenon. 

Build ships in non-US shipyards? Fuck you!

2021 STI is really going to get more than 400hp, the Supra’s coming with a manual, the next gen Toyobaru will have 300hp, the Bronco will be perfectly designed, Lexus will tone down their grilles, Acura will start building fun cars again,

I don’t get the simultaneous pro-dealer and anti-dealer sentiments on this site. Clearly, Jalopnik is pro-dealer when it involves Tesla, but anti-dealer in all other regards.

Can we talk about the Sport Line package that europe is getting that we aren’t?

whatever, pedo

The Taycan purchase is not a surprise. Bill is a Porsche fan and also owns a freaking 959, which instantly grants him all kinds of cred that no amount of tweeting can undo.

IDK every time I hear Musk talk, it’s pretty underwhelming. 

When you find something that proves mining is worse than oil extraction, I’ll include it.

When did the Cobalt SS ever have 340 lb-ft of torque from the factory?

But then, days or weeks later, you realize you are driving around in a 12 year old Chevy Cobalt BY CHOICE and you have an existential breakdown.

I really thought that eventually, my eyes would get used to seeing these, but it’s just not going to happen. I love the technology, but Honda really needed to show some restraint with all the scoops, wings, triple exhaust, etc. Granted, I know I haven’t been this car’s target market for about a decade now, but it’s…
