You are a gentleman and a scholar! Have a great weekend.

Look into the 'recentering' that occurred in 1995, which briefly produced an unusually high number of elevated scores before students' performance continued its tumble. The difference that year was the grading, not the quality of the students.

This analysis defined Generation X as spanning 1965-1976. That's 12 years. It defined Generation Y as spanning 1977-1994. That's 18 years. Punch in some census numbers and you have 60% more 'Generation Y' members buying 8% more vehicles. This is like when they started adjusting SAT scores so Generation Y's scores…

The four pedals are three original Model T pedals for the transmission and brake plus an additional gas pedal, which was originally operated with a lever on the steering column. The left most pedal is for selecting high and low gear, with neutral being in the center of its travel. The next pedal from the left is for…

Real cops give imaginary cops a bad name.

Like in Iraq, where muslims are murdering Christians? You're a horrible person, in case you didn't know.

Hey tell the colonel he can kiss my ass.

I hope they cater the unveiling with peanut-butter-and-banana sandwiches and big handfuls of pills.

Now that we have that out of the way, it's time to get a little background on the C-Elysee. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no idea what that background is. Wikipedia says this car was designed in China and built in Spain, though my particular rental carried a French VIN number. The whole thing is very confusing,…

Ignorance has hit critical mass. Nobody is even asking the right questions.

Now you deny knowledge of the word meaningful. You should get on the list to be Obama's next press secretary. No wonder you couldn't figure out why you can't buy a car with decent steering feel. Be prepared for lots of other inexplicable mysteries for the rest of your increasingly miserable life.

You seem to have abandoned critical thinking in your effort to maintain your ideological rigor. It's embarrassing. One doesn't need the biggest market to be a big enough market to justify specific products. We didn't just become Australia because China grew bigger thanks to Clinton. Look at full sized pickups. They…

We had a big enough market to justify unique models and drivetrains for decades. Without Obama's regulatory shit storm, we still would. Eeking out a 1 to 3% fuel economy improvement at the cost of real luxury isn't something any sane product planner would do without regulatory guidance. Would automakers make hydraulic…

So the MK7 really is as much fun as a tax audit and the MK6 really is the car of bottom feeders.

Read Zac Estrada's review of the GTI and see if you still feel Jalopnik is a consistent exception.

CAFE that was in place in 2008 didn't necessitate any of this dumbfuckery for our market. Obama changed that. Supporting him seems to necessitate being misinformed about everything that he has done to the country.

I just read an analysis of the systems automakers are using to meet Obama's CAFE. Electric steering adds an average of $120 to the price of a car and can improve fuel economy by 1-3%. That makes it one of the cheapest gimmicks available, which is just another fault with legislating consumer preferences. What really…

Face it. This is the difference between 'experiencing' the new GTI at VW's media junket with SWAG and refreshments and just buying and driving a new GTI with perspective of what else is on the market. VW made a day of their media reveal, giving anyone willing time in inferior old GTIs to put the new one in the best…

Jeep CJs were using the Iron Duke Pontiac 2.5 I4 from 1980. The 4.0 Cherokee was in production when Chrysler bought into AMC. Believe whatever you want.

Since when does white equal suburbanite? I actually watched this lunatic's interviews. Didn't catch the part where they were asked where they live.
