CR is on another planet when it comes to testing a car for anything beyond its appliance value.

Hey now, that exhaust note is beautiful. I loves it.

God, did those things really weigh over 3500lbs?

A lot of people have trouble separating the HMMWV-based H1 from the Tahoe/Escalade based H2. Other than being heavy and wide, it is awesome offroad. The oddball elevated drivetrain gives it great clearance, where the H2 is just an overwrought Chevy with unimpressive clearance. But people see Hummer and think the H2

This is nearly identical right to the color of the Triking I got a ride in.

A bit of poking around looking for a picture of a Triking led me to this photo. Not a Triking, but Guzzi-powered.

Well it is colorful and I certainly had no plans to envision testicles and donkeys today, but you've made that happen.

A Jeep Technical? Only 30 years overdue. Do Want.

The slight nod to LF-A styling in your picture looks better than the "We took Z4 tail lights and gave them an Altezza treatment" tails in the lead picture.

The rollover data, IIRC comes from GM safety testing it by having Jim Clark slam the wheel as hard as he could to one side while going 120mph. Most cars of its day would have had an issue with that, but Michael Moore, uhm I mean Ralph Nader picked that one to crusade against.

I drove for over two years with no plates and only had one officer even mention it. I never had anything negative happen because of it. Having the car registered and insured and keeping the cardboard dealer placard on it helped. Adam Carolla recently bragged about turning in his leased Audi after 4 years of no

God I would love a Mustang sedan. Oddly enough, a lot of folks told me my 1stGen Mazda6s looked like a Mustang sedan, which seems silly now, but makes a little sense given the swoopy jellybean that was the last SN95/Fox Mustang.

Loved Equalizer.

The first gen 6 looked like it should have been RWD, but alas no.

Hey if BMW won't make cars that look like BMW, why not the Asians? Hell, I thought the 3rd-gen Acura TL looked more Teutonic than the E60 5 series.

Same here. This looks nothing like the first gen, but damn, it looks far better than the 2nd. I wonder if it is as heavy as the 2nd gen.

I like the idea of a Skyactiv MX-8, and even though I have no use for one, I hope Mazda continues to work with rotary. But I feel inclined to point out that Mazda has said repeatedly that the RX-8 is not a successor to the RX-7, just as the RX-7 was not a child of the RX-3. So hope for a new RX-7 isn't really

I think it looks far better than the hideous 2nd gen while still staying true to Mazda's new design philosophy. Some parts are derivative, but in a pleasing way. The base of the C-pillar says BMW, and the rear hips say Zagato.

Looks like an Acura as envisioned by Zagato.

I fear that a separating the WRX/STi from the Imp will make the Rex more expensive and heavier. I has a sad.
