@long_live_the_E36: This is what keeps me away from BMW and Audi. "Masterpieces of engineering, except for the 7 or so specific critical issues that will completely destroy some part of the car. Other than that, perfection. By the way, you need to replace your guibo."

@gorckat: Just curious; what did you think a Jiffy Lube was for? Or any advertising for oil changes/scheduled maintenance? Maintaining a vehicle is sort of zeitgeist. I suppose you could just put it far enough back in your mind to forget about it...

@Coreboy: SBR primary ingredient? High Fructose Corn Syrup. Sorry, not real BBQ sauce. (finding actual BBQ sauce is notoriously hard.)

@omg grip: Looking closely at the hood cut lines, I don't think it is. I would not be surprised if the USDM snout was a few inches longer to satisfy the bumper collision spec. If that's the case, you'd need most of the euro front end (I think headlights are the same though.)

@SphinxRB: That 3.4l DOHC engine was infamous for it's problems - the general was reaching a touch too far with that one, though the idea was sound.

I have always secretly hated the Mustang for getting a free pass when it was often worse than the competing Camaro/Trans Am just because of it's heritage. Now though they're running neck and neck... good to see they've stepped up to the plate when the V6 Camaro made the 4.0 V6 Mustang a joke.

@Jim-Bob: You and I were not raised in a world where the first hatchbacks were awful AMCs and junky Japanese imports, so we don't share a bias against them.

@Jim-Bob: I have long thought the same; the brushed gold 'tie looks okay on Silverados and other vehicles that have some heritage, but on their car lineup it just sort of looks odd.

@ppppp: They mention in the video it's a wolf hybrid - yes, crazy people actually breed wolves with dogs and what comes out can be described as slightly domesticated wolves or tremendously violent dogs. They're an awful idea and frequently act exactly like what you'd think one would act like.

Does it rewind VHS tapes? It should rewind tapes.

Frugal and fun - just like my '08 Fit.

@JahB: Action heroes became such roided out cartoon versions of themselves that the pendulum swung the other way, and now girls want boys that are more like girls than boys.

@tony-e30: All Coupe license plates will include plate alphanumeric and car specific zip code.

@BaconSandwich and the generic grey civic of doom: Possibly. Maybe, though, a CF door would be stronger, but once you reached it's strength threshold, CF will splinter and crack - steel bends, making it better to 'crumple' and absorb kinetic energy. I think.

@pauljones: Everyone stop picking on meeeee!

@Ben Wojdyla: I was thinking more recent Mercs like an SLK, but point taken.

@dal20402: Escalating side impact ratings.
