I'm with Colbert.

Because the Princes of Marketing said 30 wasn't enough.

This is correct for the N/A cars. Post-2009 turbo 4EAT cars are 60/40 in normal driving.

2013 Forester XT, 20,000 miles. Hasn't consumed enough oil to see any difference on the dipstick, ever. Changed every 5000 miles with Mobil 1.

Reading comprehension. You should try it.

This would be a "335i" that wouldn't tick off all of the OCD BMW freaks for having the wrong displacement.

You get a recommend for having the correct color combo for Vanilla Ice.

Agree with your post but 4000 pounds is too low. Normal drivers can safely drive ~5000 lb CUVs and minivans. 6000 pounds curb weight seems like about the right threshold.

Removing cats is just stupid. The power gain is minuscule (even on modified engines, with the right cats) and the resulting environmental damage is huge. Cats are the single biggest reason all of our cities don't look like LA circa 1969.

Puzzled why no one has mentioned the Rolls RB211-535E4. That's the other 757 engine — and it's the 757 engine that, unlike the Pratt, is more reliable than dirt. It's in exactly the right thrust range for a nice bump, it runs absolutely forever, and it pretty much never breaks. It's understressed because it's a…

It looks different from the base models, but it looks identical save the badge from the high-40s SRT 392, which has exactly the same performance as the Hellcat in the real world.

FWD vs RWD platform has little to do with it. Plenty of RWD-based AWD systems are just as bad as the worst of the FWD-based ones. It's about the carmaker's marketing approach: is AWD is intended to be 1) a serious off-road tool; 2) a real improvement to on-road handling and bad-weather performance, or 3) a…

P-AWS isn't AWD. AWS = "All Wheel Steer." It's only on FWD RLXes. The AWD ones have a totally new version of SH-AWD that uses an electric motor to power the rear wheels.

The Acura SH-AWD system is excellent.

Icelandair's RR-powered, HGW, wingleted 757s are beautiful (and amazingly capable) aircraft without a special livery. This is just stunning.

Love these and would own one if I had the money for a luxury sedan, because electric torque and quiet are awesome. But I do wish they'd spiff up the interior a bit. It looks very plain next to similarly priced competition from Audi and Benz.

"Why chase after the mapping game?"

Not sure, but it works just like one.

My 2013 Subaru has one.

There was a brief time when people thought he might be marginally less crazy than his predecessor, Saparmurat Niyazov, who banned recorded music and decreed that everyone had to chew on bones to strengthen their teeth. Nope.
