LS400 or LS460 sport

Used Infiniti Q50 Red Sport. AWD is optional. 400HP/350TQ, but really makes closer to 440HP/390QT.

S80 V8 all day

How about the forgotten V8, Infiniti M56? A 420 HP 5.6L V8 and plenty of Japanese luxury. This one is at Carvana in San Antonio for $10 shy of $22,000.

I’d try to find a Lexus IS-F. High revving NA V8 goodness.

A list of mostly sane recommendations? Am I in the right place?

Allow me to offer some diversity — *Ctrl-F* “Impala” — No? Perfect.

Could also go for an ATS-V for 4 doors, albeit with a little less power

I love the CTS-V recc. What a fantastic car, and very unique.

You really think any old VW is going to burn someone worse than commuting in an antique truck on Chicago roads in the winter?

Good grief.  You bought a bottom dollar worn out GTI.  Get a nicer one.  Get a 2010-11 with the TSI (be sure tensioner’s been replaced) or a 2012+.  David, you’re lovely, but generalizing about VW’s like that is what kept me afraid of them for so long.

FortNine’s Ryan makes the absolute best motorcycle videos on the internet. He’s smart, funny, engaging, and I learn something new most every video. Plus the production quality and writing is better than sites that surely have ten times the budget.

I feel like they should have gone AWD on this bad boy, but that might have made it quicker than the Veloster-N in a straight line.

I really, REALLY hate it when people say things like, “It’s a shame he didn’t choose to live...”

That 394-foot stretch of Power Road costs €250,000 (about $303,000) more than a regular road. A single mile could cost millions more than a conventional road.

Amen. It essentially takes any of their integrity off the table. If they are willing to trash competitors, who knows what else they are willing to do. Car sales can be heavily referral based business. I’ve referred friends and family to sales people who I haven’t purchased vehicles from personally because they spent…

Jalopnik commentariat: “Nobody tries anything different.”

Absolutely ridiculous. This car looks like other cars. They are trying too hard and need to try again, even harder this time. Lately this car company has been getting better but now they’ve gone and messed it all up. Listen to me, my opinion is correct because I own an older car which was the best of its kind. Now my…
