Auto show? Where do you live? Here in SoCal, you can find their stores at more than a few of our better malls. You can positively camp out in their cars as long as you please, and they never bother you about it.

All pf this comes back...

What I’m saying, is get the hell out and test drive some cars, my man. This is a car enthusiast blog, or whatever they call it now. Personally, I’d rather try things out myself, than just read about them. While I was actually in the market for a car at the time, when I tested the G8 GT & GXP I wasn’t really sure what…

Was that also built out of an old Miata?

No shit. And that worked out splendidly for them...

Looks like a really shitty Miata. There. Does that make you happy?

And, assuming that they’re going to build this monstrosity in Mexico, you can upgrade that to the “Fiajita”.

You haven’t even driven the car.

If Trump could find a way to kick the Raiders the hell out of California, he’d have a better chance of carrying California.

Shit. Owning Mahowny is on a totally different level from anything else. Easily, one of Hoffman’s best performances.

He was easily confused. They each have wheels with tires.

Having driven ALL of those cars you happen to list, I honestly doubt the truth in those lap times. I’m not saying that you’re making any of that up. I’m just not buying any of it. Maybe, the Mustang. But the CLA AMG and the M235 are blistering fast, much lighter, and near-benchmark handlers. What killed me about the…

Agreed. The market usually does a pretty good job of filtering out less competitive options.

I don’t disagree with your sentiment, however, I think it’s simply not feasible in the incredibly competitive and difficult car market. But your point about car segments isn’t really on target. The Focus and Mustang are entirely different cars, for entirely different buyers. The commonality of an engine choice is…

Oh, no, I wasn’t trying to say that the SS would, in any way, be just like a Malibu. I should have stated that better. I simply meant that, from a marketing and model position standpoint, if the price dropped down far enough to make the SS more of a sales leader, GM would have to drop that many more luxury /…

The thing is, it’s not really “amazing”. The fact that it’s a RWD, V8, manual car certainly is neat, but that alone doesn’t make it truly stand out. I’ve driven the previous G8 models, the GXP, and the 2015 SS - and I can say that, for the money, they’re just not that special. The very heavy weight mitigates much of…

Those things were lemons from the start. I know two (car-stupid) people who bought those. Neither kept them longer than a year, because they were always in the shop.

Focus ST buying guide. Step one: Wait for Focus RS.

This sound like me just tossing on shorts and flip-flops.

As the Vikings fan that you unfortunately are, I assume that was meant as a rhetorical question, right?
