The ATS comes in manual with the 2.0L turbo.

If you are in the market for a ~$40k car, then go for it!

....and everybody in the "tech boom" is making the same money they made in 1999. Too bad those salaries should have grown by about $40k in the last 16 years after adjusting for inflation.

Neutral: What Are Your Cadillac Thoughts? Should they keep prices up? Should they change their model? Should they build more trucks?

The failure of the ATS and CTS to hit their targets is costing GM. To kindle demand, Cadillac has offered subsidized leases, discounted financing and rebates. Consumers are being given $1,000 on the 2015 ATS and 2015 CTS, $4,000 on the 2014 ATS and $6,000 on the 2014 CTS. But some dealers are getting additional…

Euro tuners in America start a new revolting fad by fitting "lambo doors" to their GTIs

Or, more accurately, "Man fined $18000 for importing a Silvia".

Shields, Upton, Myers....those names sound familiar.

I'm usually in the "come on, don't ruin the race in the headline!" camp, but because I don't really care about reasonably priced car laps, I am enjoying all of the *same* people who say it doesn't matter crying over the ruining of a couple minutes of TV

Right back at you. So the drama and anticipation was taken out of 1 minute-something of TV and you didn't enjoy it as much? Not really on the same level as doing it for a 2 hour F1 race.

Nissan sold the 240sx with a truck engine in the US instead of the proper turbo 2.0L because they were afraid that nobody would buy the NA 300zx if they did.

5th Gear...

Late 90s BTCC before all of the factory teams left is probably my favorite racing series ever. No fucks were given ever, and the racing was ruthless. It was like translating racing against my roomates in Gran Turismo to the real world. The cars aren't fragile little things like F1 and Indy. They don't travel at…

I guess that's when it becomes a hand-out :(

Not as much as blindly following the platforms of the political parties. Unfortunately, our de facto two-party system has created a political landscape where everything is framed in black and white, when the reality is grey. So yeah, I'll blame political parties, even though it's the blind dedication and lack of…

This is something that President Obama has proposed at least twice in the past and has gained little to no traction. And the chances of it flying this time around, particularly given the Republican control of both Houses and the point-of-sale proposal, seems even more absurd.

Which is like...across the river.

I didn't know about the i3 range extender option, so yes add that one to the list. Electric only is great, but not entirely feasible if you only want one car. Sure, you can get a rental or something if you're going farther than 40mi or so, but in a lot of sprawl-y areas that could be a not-infrequent day trip. I…

Have you ever heard of an F150? Ford sold 746,111 in 1997, the same year that Dodge sold 350,257 Rams.

As of 2015, there is *only* and A3 sedan in the US. Look at Audi's website.
