Yeah, I've got my system down. I actually pre-flight with booze: Whiskey, neat, thank you. That maximizes the good, while minimizes the need to even hit the head. Then, on board, I take whatever happens to be in the nearest galley. Or the next.

Me too, brother. Me, too. Pissing is another story altogether. I always drink all the "complimentary" booze I can get my grubby mitts on.

No. It won't. This is still entertainment TV, and the star of the show isn't the cars. It's the snarky host. He wasn't making the huge salary by accident. You can immediately find parallels with epic ratings makers like American Idol, or Two & A Half Men. Each one could not survive losing their enigmatic star.

I'll agree that it looks like it hasn't progressed. But I would never label it "perfectly fine". I've driven a few recent ones (one rental, one which belongs to an acquaintance), and it was simply apparent that they were no match for either the Camry, Accord, or the Fusion.

I'm going to be really excited to watch how this thing actually performs. The STi is the gold standard in this market, and with Mitsubishi not existing any longer, there really isn't any viable competition for the Subaru, other than the Golf R / S3. So, if Ford can deliver, then maybe we'll also see GM or Fiat give…

But that's the whole point. By that logic, if you AREN'T worried about the warranty. Then buy the RS and modify IT. Good grief. The car isn't even out yet (thus, the reason for this article) and we're already getting the "meh, I can build it better" comments.

People have been honking away about making base WRX models that are better than the STi for over a decade. Rarely are they. Never do they have a working warranty.

The fuel gauge needle probably moves more quickly than the speedometer gauge needle.

The cows dine on fine organics and drink the best wine, before they are slaughtered.

Does it do anything to reduce the million-pound curb weight?

I'm sure this "super aggressive" version will have stripes. So...there's that.

Your insecurity is certainly revealing.

Don't be a twat. Not everything is a political statement. But your insecurity is certainly revealing.

Make sure you pat yourself on the back, too.

Go back and watch some more 12 Years A Slave

I have loved cars since I was young enough to paint all my Hotwheels with my model paint. I'll love cars until I die. Top Gear was an entertaining show, and I watched it here and there for the comedic factor. But that's about it. It's too bad it's going to die on the vine, because I'm sure a great many good production…

Yeah, actually, that's a great point. The Golf really is the outlier.

No, and citing other instances isn't supporting your point. It's not a matter of "taking it off" - it's simply a point of better brand marketing. I can assure you there would be only upside to calling the car the "RS" as opposed to the "Focus RS" just as there would have been more upside to calling the "Neon SRT-4"…

Why is it dumb? What is the value in in the name "Focus" or "Impreza" when the person buying the RS or STI version would never, in a million years, buy the base model? Being that you're the arbiter of dumb, please explain.

And yet, that almost never, ever, happens. It's easier to punch a fellow employee and get away with it, than it is to fire an employee as an employer.
