Not that I'm disagreeing with you, but if that's the case in this instance, why is there steam coming out of two hoses after the crash? If there's no engine, there'd be no heat or need for the radiator.

Yeah, I think lighting it all on fire, and then just walk away.

My question is, how is this car fundamentally different than the Chevy Volt/Caddy ELR? They are both hybrids with the gas engine used as a generator for the battery pack, are they not? I see everyone falling all over themselves for the i8, and yes it does look very nice, but the ELR isn't half bad either, IMHO. What's…

I don't know, but I've seen ridiculous prices for Miata's lately. This dude want's $9,800 for this 13 year old car with less than 15K on the clock. Plus, it's an automatic :(

And now, all those who weren't so lucky with a bus...

It's a good thing Detroit doesn't have 100's of abandoned buildings in which to hide the most easily identifiable car.....

To be fair, it's astrology, not astronomy. One is the study of celestial objects in regards to their origin, chemistry and the physics that surrounds them, the other is made up foolishness, as if the micro-gravity of a far off world could have any affect on your future.

Dude, I have the issue right in front of me. For reference, only nine cars have been faster around VIR since C & D started this annual ritual eight years ago. Besides the aforementioned Ferrari F12, Mosler & 918 Porsche, only the 2012 Corvette ZR1, 2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo, Ferrari 458 Italia, 2014 Viper & 2008 Viper…

Pick up the new issue of Car & Driver. It's their "Lightning Lap" edition. The Z/28 lapped Virginia Int. Raceway in 2:50.80. It was .3 seconds faster than a 911 Turbo S, 2.9 seconds faster than the Corvette Stingray, and only .1 second slower than a Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. The Porsche 918 did the deed in 2:43.1, which…

+1!

Yes, but if you have to use that mayo several times a week for sammiches, maybe getting the bigger jar is Ok? I understand people don't want/need a big full size truck, but if you waved a Dodge Ram in front of me at the same price point as a Tacoma, I'd be pretty tempted at stepping up to the Dodge.

So, I can expect something like this at the big unveiling from Mercedes tonight? It seems every automaker is trying to out do each other in the weird department.

For the $30K it takes to get into one of these, what's the incentive of getting a slightly smaller, underpowered V-6 Toyota instead of a larger, full sized pick-up from one of the Big Three? I don't see me ever owning a pick-up, but do wonder what the advantages are of this truck over a standard 1500 series. It will…

The Caddy XLR. Based off the Corvette platform with a trick folding hardtop. Too bad older men in search of a mid-life crisis car just bought the Corvette instead, and saved about $20k.

The "Big Reveal" is the left side of the car, no details regarding the engine, transmission, performance or handling, and a band that hasn't had a hit in a decade or more. And, apparently we have to get used to driving on the wrong side of the car?? WTF Mazda? What's next, the Mazda Miata Dancers?

I commented a while back on this post http://jalopnik.com/does-anyone-st… regarding the ForTwo. Oooh, the level of hate I received from the Smart defenders. The one item they mentioned, over & over again, was its ability to park anywhere. Yippee, it's greatest attribute is its ability to be stationary. Congrats, your…

So, my wife & I were having this discussion on the drive back from a local county fair. If we had the time & money, we'd love to travel the country, and using a camper instead of hotels/motels (because bed-bugs, eww!). The choice is between a large C-Class motor-home that would pull a small car behind, or a smaller…

Damn, I almost wish I could buy a Seat Toledo here in Toledo, OH. That would be cool. I guess I'll just have to settle for a Jeep Wrangler, which is our default vehicle of choice here.

Not typically. If you listen to those ads, they generally mention "with approved credit". In other words, if you have a really good credit score, we will approve this interest rate, otherwise, this type of deal does not apply.
