The willingness of the Chinese to blatantly and shamelessly copy western vehicles just goes to show how cheaply cars can be made with no regards to safety, reliability, or durability, let alone originality. I've seen crash tests of Chinese cars and they appear to have the structural integrity of a wet paper towel.

I haven't seen a change in my driving habits with these low gas prices. I'm enjoying the savings of about $30-$40 a month on gas. I can put off trading my gas guzzler of a daily driver for something more efficient until gas hits $5.30/gallon or so.

I'd much rather see a modern twin turbo inline 6 that is priced to compete with the 911 Carrera and the Corvette than a hybrid.

I like the idea of a Corvette engine and a manual transmission in a car that otherwise would be a boring hand me down from middle aged suburbanites to their college aged son, this seems like a great sleeper car. I'd like to see more reviews of big old American cars by Mr. Regular.

The damage doesn't look that bad, but half price is a bit of a stretch. Including repairs you'd be into this for about $42k-$45k which is closer to 3/4 of $60k-$65K for a new one. It doesn't make sense why insurance would total this if it really is worth $39k as-is.

Judging by that notch in the lower left hand corder of that back door it looks like they were able to reuse the stamping from the lower portion of a front passenger side door on a standard Wrangler. I don't know whether to call that a crude hack or ingenious simplicity.

Yeah, I suppose that criticism is moot for the Jeep Africa edition, which is unlikely to encounter curbs or parallel parking.

For that matter driving along with this style door wide open would really interfere with departure angle. ;) The best style rear door for filming is like the one on a Range Rover.

That's a good point. I still don't get why a single hinge is better than a liftgate or 2 ambulance style doors which open from the middle.

Not so much when you're parallel parked and it blocks the curb side. Although that issue is easily solved by making the glass part into a hatch.

In my very limited experience, all Ferrari 456 owners wear a dress shirt and a cardigan and look like they're on their way to the country club.

Changing out the chintzy looking rims and removing subs isn't a big deal. Unless the installers did a hack job and damaged the original wiring harness to install the subs that is. That isn't the reason I would stay away from this car.

The "sensible" Ford Fiesta which was tested by Top Gear in a military exercise on the beach. Jeremy determined it to be green in color.

I find it interesting that Doug's Lambos has quite a selection of red Ferraris but only one Lamborghini in the brackground...

(Sarcasm) I don't know about you but I'd rather see James May do an honest review of the Dacia Sandero than three hypercars racing each other...

They all rusted out to a point that they were not worth saving. The Japanese were known for making rustbuckets into the 70s and 80s.

This looks worth fixing and driving the shit out of for that price. The salvage title does affect resale value, but that only matters if you're trying to fix and flip the car for a profit. That Xenon headlamp assembly is going to be quite expensive but it is possible to find a cheaper one from an auto recycler or…

I've had 32" Duratracs on my 4Runner for almost a year now and love them. I have heard complaints of handling problems and squishy sidewalls with the higher load range, D and E though.

I wonder if his vision went blank and the word "Busted" faded into place, then minutes later he regains conciousness standing in front of a Police station with all of his weapons removed, and a "bribe" of $5000 taken from his bank account. Just like how it works in GTA.

As a computer engineer, I once had to take an Ethics and Professional Issues in Computing course that dealt with how high tech companies that introduce innovative new products face ethical dilemmas. That being said, it was totally a bullshit class, the professor regularly condtradicted himself, and would often make…
