Less than 4,000 more FR-Ss were sold than Smart Cars in 2014. It’s not a bad number, but I definitely wouldn’t say its doing great.

So the one example of a best-in-class convertible Miata counts as proof that slow Japanese cars (and although it maybe be thought of as underpowered I still don’t think most people think Miatas are slow) are massive volume sellers, but the poor sales of the FT86/FRS/BRZ and the non-existence of the MR-2 and S2000 are…

I think people don’t consider how much bigger, more optioned and how much safer new cars are. Everyone points to the CR-Z being over 1,000 lbs heavier than the CR-X. The CR-Z misses the mark, but not because of its weight.

And how well do slow fun cars sell?

if deadspin had a commentoftheday....

When you saw RazoE’s pun, you couldn’t just leaven it be?

And there would be a great dichotomy there; if it’s following the NSX’s development cycle it’ll probably hit showroom floors in the year 2500.

You clearly don’t understand why this helps the consumer. If this were a model like Tesla wants, it would be the Wild Wild West - babies having babies, brother fighting brother, the Knicks make the playoffs.

IMO, the Gran Turismo and the Jaguar F-Type Coupe are the two best looking vehicles on sale today.

$10 is cheap, in Toronto its around $20 or more IIRC and parking is...a lot.

Yeah, its really a list of the ten best cars for covering up insecurities because its definitely not even slightly your fault the relationship ended and anyone who splits from you is the worst person ever.

...but will probably continue to host spelling bees, poker and video game tournaments, none of which seem to be actual sports in any way, shape or form.

I guess we know who Doug’s biggest fan is...

+1 totes legit

I have to say, it looks pretty good....

Go back to your pineapple under the sea, brah

Don’t forget Spongebob Squarepants.

I don’t like the normal car vs F1/race car comparisons that use a staggered time. I know they do it so that it can be a close race, but I want to see them start at the exact same time and place so that when the fastest car crosses the finish line, you see just how much slower the others are.

And am I correct in assuming that journalists also have greater freedom to disclose normally confidential information? I vaguely remember reading something a while back in a Civics class (in Canada) that said that certain things said by journalists and by politicians (but for politicians, only in the appropriate area,…

Not even. The CLA and X1 are about as tall as most subcompacts.
