@pauljones: I agree with you... But only to a point. I have no problem with making fun of teenagers in general. I mean, hell, I've been making fun of FloozyPumpswoon for over a year now, and he's, what, 13? It's all about the context.

Well done, sir. While I have a great deal of respect for our police force up here, I am also an advocate of a bit of occasional vigilante-style justice. Sometimes, it's just what's required. And, similarly, I've found that speaking softly and with great purpose has the greatest effect.

@engineerd: I'm sorry, I can't get that excited about it. Yes, North America gets the best version. But, as you said, RTFA. The reason ours is the best version is not that they've made ours so much better than an already-excellent European or JDM version... it's that those versions are largely crap. They're also-rans…

@mr_dude: Or a ball-peen hammer. Regardless, I prefer to buy cars that DON'T need repairs before I even get them home.

@mr_dude: They also make excellent pylons for running a high speed slalom course. Mostly because you don't have to worry about damaging them like you do with regular pylons.

@lilwillie hides autos in the attic: Sigh. I miss my star. I miss being able to see all the amazingly retarded posts some people will make on articles like this...

Every time I see one of these cars, my brain automatically dubs in the sound of Patrick from Spongebob Squarepants laughing incessantly.

Well he's certainly not going to test its crashworthiness after he buys it, now is he?

I propose a new measurement for model bloat; has the car grown large enough that you can land a plane on it?

@stinkycatfish: I wouldn't be so sure. I'd bet money the plane was speeding...

@OldeEnglishD: Oooh! Friends off for you!

Contrary to what seems to be popular opinion, I say well done to Ford to have a few cars on the list. Let's face it, the domestics have been actively trying to piss people off (or, that's how I interpret the shit they've been trying to sell us) for years now, so the fact that Ford did that well is remarkable, really.

@WilliamG.: The story of how he chose that name is even better. I couldn't stop giggling. Ask him nicely, maybe he'll share.

Well, it is nicer-looking than the 1-series...

@Muscles Marinara: So is pretty much everything out of Chrysler, Acura, Toyota and BMW. At least this thing had a healthy dose of awesome.

Now this is a genuine tragedy. I love these cars — and not just because of the Audi engines. These were potentially proof that the lightweight sports car could still exist in today's world. Hopefully this cancellation isn't proof that it can't.

So roughly $6k. That's not bad, considering what you get for your money...

Woo! I totally called that one. Just proof that there actually is truthiness and goodness left in the world. Oh, and nicely done on your rocket-like rise in the COTD rankings! Now that I'm back, I think I'm going to have to really pull up my socks and get some more comments going, or I'll soon be overtaken at this…

@skaycog misses lost friends: I'm tremendously glad to have my comment-fu back so I can tell you just how much you really do deserve that gold star you proudly wear, and how much I, and the rest of the Jezebel Eleven really appreciated the kind words of support while we were cast out in exile. You've earned your own…

@SpudMills: You win a coveted Deartháir II-branded heart-click for that comment.
