I won't speak for any other aspect of their government/laws, but they have their shit together on cars. Would gladly standardize our laws with them and get access to all the great European cars unadulterated!

Wow. That's a lot of snow!

Mini? 500 Abarth?

Michael Oren's book is another great read.

This will backfire because:

Those were the days — a Mazda as fast as a Porsche. I love the '80s.

I like the leather more but didn't hate the plaid. And yes — the girls LOVED it.

I wonder if you could cross-reference this with areas where Tesla at least has a showroom.

This in a hatch would win my GTI-driving heart.

I will say that when I had the plaid interior vs. the leather in my current GTI, the ladies went nuts for my car. Every one of them LOVED those seats. Why I got rid of it I'll never know...

I've been talking with my local Audi shop about getting one of these. It'll be down to this vs. a BMW 235i if/when I leave my '13 Mk6 GTI (with APR reflash) behind. It's like the reliable(ish) B5 S4 I never had!

A Cruze is perfect for this for one reason: everyone is already used to getting shit from the IRS.

This is exactly how the target buyers make their decisions.

I was going more for that sweet 5 speed...but however you want to read that...

NP all day long for a Bimmer that speaks softly (once you fix that muffler) and comes with a big stick!

Oh look! They even copied the lame excuses other countries/companies use!

I'm glad my VW was made by unionized workers. Nothing wrong with that at all.

No way. The E30 3 and the E46 3 (both predecessors) were way better than the E90. E92 coupe was OK, but that's about it. Then again styling is pretty subjective so hate this stupid car for its own (lack of) merits!

This is the best thing I've read in a good long while!

Yes. I can't stand it. I was only able to clean it with a Dremel and metal polish (Flitz I think).
