I’ve said this many times, but if you aren’t shifting your own gears, who cares?  Not like any slushbox is that fun to drive either.  My biggest beef with CVTs is that they often put fake shift points in them just to make folks feel better about it.  We don’t need that and I think folks don’t really care about that…

It was only season 1, but still in the top 3 episodes ever, IMO.  M...as in Mancy.

Currently on sale? I’d have it be the CT5-V Blackwing. It’s the last V8 manual caddy is going to produce, so I’m sure it’ll charge a premium.

The first photo shows an obvious paint match problem between the fender and door. How do people not notice this? Silver cars with this issue are the easiest to spot.

Without getting into the best and worst MR2 generations or MR2 vs. Miata or MR2 v. Boxster (hadn’t thought of that, but yeah, prices are in the same range) I will just say I like these cars, they are agile and zippy, which is what a small sports car is supposed to be.

The answer is a 2022+ VW Arteon with the Golf R motor and 7-spd DSG.

HOT TAKE: Any large German luxury sedan. BMW 5/7 series, Audi A6/7/8, Mercedes E-Class (S-Class are amazing but are just too problematic and costly to repair.)

They should subcontract with New Balance for the seat leather.

To be honest, the whole car could do well with being five percent more douchy than it currently is.

This is something that Lincoln realized and does very, very well with the Aviator. I bought an Aviator last year after setting my sights on a supple, powerful, attractive SUV that rides beautifully and has ample power.

James May has been talking about this for a decade.

“Listen, I know you folks want an STI”

Nope, not a single duck was given.

“The transportation side of things is more impressive and attracts the most public attention. Over 20 seasoned bus operators compete in timed obstacle courses that they navigate with the buses”

I’m fully behind this movement. It wasn’t until I’d signed the papers and been driving for a week that I realized the ride of my X3 M40 is total shit. That B58 six is an utter siren song and clouded my judgement. I’m not sure what I’m going to replace this with, but it might be a Genesis or something GM if BMW can’t…

I’ve been a motorcyclist for Decades. I’m 50, and I’ve been rolling on 2 wheels since I was 15.
I’ve ridden cross country many, many times.
I’ve ridden in and been waved at in nearly every state, plus 3 Provinces.

Boring-est, even?

Most boring vehicle for sure.

The answer is to think inside the box.
