I don’t care about her rules. She should buy a used Camry for $8k-$10k. And maybe a set of snow tires. 

Some people are just dumb enough to think that they can insult others into giving them what they want. It’s not just with cars. 

I mean, I’d actually be pretty stoked to have one of those. 

I’d rather have a double-wishbone Civic or an ITR than any of those other cars, so to me at least, the prices are legit. 

Eh, if something is going to be sold under the tagline that it’s the “ultimate” anything, it shouldn’t actually be a massive pile of bad ideas and poor execution. 

What even is a cool car manufacturer these days, when cars themselves are not seen as particularly “cool” by the general public?

I’m sure it’ll be just as overpriced, poorly engineered, and unreliable as the current one, though. 

Heh, I’m shopping GMT800 SUVs right now, actually. But the one I want is the Suburban 2500 4x4 with an 8.1 Vortec. 

I’d rather take the bus than any of them.

This model cycle is the first time I’ve ever had real difficulty deciding whether I’d rather have an Accord or a Camry. The Accord should still have better steering, more lively handling, and the option of a manual gearbox. But it also lost its double-wishbone suspension a couple of generations ago. And the…

It’s probably my American sensibilities having been influenced by seeing cars of that era with round lights, but I do prefer the round lights. They seem to fit the rest of that car’s late-’60s styling zeitgeist better than the rectangular halogens.

They aren’t really libertarian. They rely way too much on government intervention on their behalf in the “free” markets. What they are is leeches.

I do not have power steering, or a back-up camera, or automatic emergency braking, or a spare tire, or air conditioning in my car. I do not need any of those things. I guess maybe if I left Southern California, AC might make its way back in there. The rest of that stuff, I genuinely prefer my car without.

It ain’t a tyte car if it ain’t a Type-R, but I don’t know if being a Type-R makes it a tyte car.

Did it leave any fake scoops, vents and grills for the other cars, or did the CTR use them all up?

Looks like a Mustang with an ugly body kit.

I wonder ...

This may be a first for me with this series, but I actually think all of those choices are pretty cool.

The list is 60 percent German, and zero percent Japanese.

I mostly agree with what you’re saying here. I think fake engine noises are the pinnacle of lame, totally unnecessary automotive bullshit. The cars should just sound the way they sound, even if that is quiet.
