Say it with me: “They were bought by an *airplane* manufacturer.”

Whole lot of hyperbole in both directions, very little realism.

Yikes, not the best researched suggestions.

Well, I’m glad they built it, if only for the 9000 other people almost exactly like me. I wanted a Corvette. Wifey says no, we cannot have a family hauler AND a Corvette. Camaro isn’t actually usable as a family car... have you seen the trunk? Two adults and a special-needs kid for a weekend away? Yeah, no.

Tell me about it. That’s another grand out of my pocket... C’est la Vie. It sucks, but as they say: you gotta pay to play.

You seriously need to review what can be bought from Europe for this price. I did. I ordered an SS, and I’ve been a Euro-phile since long before I had my license. You just can’t get the same capability or value out of a European car for this price. The LS3 will last longer and require less expensive maintenance, to

And that right there made it worth every penny. I can haul my wife and kid in comfort, make great noises with an LS3 burbling away up front and dual-mode exhaust out back, have fun in the twisties with three pedals and magnetic ride control, and roast the tires on the correct axle on-demand. :-)

Lol, you totally nailed about 70% of these comments. I’m disappointed in the Jalopnik community. Here we have a V8 RWD family car with a *manual*, and most folks have nothing but vitriol for it? And the comments about price make me laugh... the next cheapest V8 RWD stick you can get in the US is an M5, starting at the

While I appreciate the fact you knew this for 2015, it’s no longer true for 2016. 2016 auto: $1300 GGT. 2016 manual: $1000 GGT.

You’re either the world’s lamest troll, or you need to turn in your Jalop card. SMH...

Thank you for sharing that. Same info I found before sticking my neck out and ordering one. I have every intention of carrying my family in it. Based on the ANCAP results, I have zero qualms about doing so. It's a very well-engineered car from a safety perspective.

Hey Raph, that’s a 2015. You need a pic of a 2016 with the more aggressive fascia. ;-)

Now the real question is, how does a more modern unibody SUV (one of the many “four by fours” they showed at the school) such as the Cayenne or X5 fare in a similar test? We all know the BoF structure in the Disco 1 isn’t exactly a paragon of modernity.

That’s ‘cause you were driving the wrong FWD cars. ;-) My $2950 1986 GTI would chirp them quite easily, at least in 1st. Had to be careful making a 90-deg right turn from a stop, and especially crossing the crosswalk paint when wet.

This. Is. Awesome.

Clarkson can be a monumental ass sometimes, but he has one valid point: messing with children. If you’re a grown adult and you think “transitioning” is the solution to your problems, knock yourself out. I really do not care. Where I *do* care, is when people drag children into this. Sorry folks, a 10 year old is *not*

I used to chuckle and call them “Hardley-Ablesons”. Then I rented a 2015 Heritage Softail for a few days on Oahu. If you’ve ever been to the island, you’ll know it’s no place for a high-strung sportbike. Dualsport or cruiser are ideal. Well, after three days with that thing and riding around the entire island (twice),

Two words: snow tires.

Biggest issue I see with this: douchebags trolling the autonomous cars. Deliberately singling them out to do stupid things and see how the car and/or driver respond.
