Should I have included "and will fall apart in five years" in order to exclude cars I would not buy for other reasons? I wasn't aware that my only other options were Hyundai.

There ares till engines in cars at that price point that put down more power, get better gas mileage, and don't have as much of a chance of having to be lemon-lawed or have a tremendous amount of warranty work done on them. I'll take one of those, thanks.

5.) World's Worst DSM

I can live with a controllable fault, but I'm sure as hell not going to pay $30,000+ for one.

And it's a shame because the outside of the cars are generally well done.

Because who doesn't want a VQ series engine that may mysteriously start to eat increasing quantities of oil and necessitate one or more new engines to fix the problem?!?

Because crappy mpg in a city with a lot of hills and small mountains can be remedied by a hybrid. I've got a '08 4 cylinder accord and get around 15-16 mpg driving downtown, where I live and work.

It's just so damn ugly. It's like an IROC Z had sex with a German DJ in the 80's and this is the bastard child.

How about I just pick up and XK8 and drop an LSX in it and have a lot of money left over instead. An approachable price on the V8 would have sold Jaguar many, many cars. They've priced themselves too high and I'd buy a Porsche at that price instead.

That guy looks nothing like Charlie Parker. Who, exactly, do YOU think Birdman is?

The only thing I'm sure about is that a Dodge Charger and an Aston Martin made a baby, and this is it.

I'd wish them luck, but I hope this crashes and burns as badly as the Aztek. They deserve it to. I understand that they were trying to do something different, but this seems like a case, like with the Aztek, where everyone was so deep into the project they lost sight of objectivity, thought it looked really good,…

I love the idea and driving execution of the current fit sport, and have high hops for the RS version of the new one (because it shows that well made, inexpensive, fun to drive cars will sell on the American market and push the big three to put out cars that are better than something like the shit cobalt), but I have…

Update 4:34 p.m.: Until today, the largest municipal bankruptcy in American history was in Stockton, California, which earlier this year sought protection from more than $1 billion in debts.

I want one of these, quite badly. The only real problem is that when you pick up something like a used 135i and drop a couple mods on it you can make pretty crazy power. I think the 135i is going to be a future cult classic, like the e30 and original GTi are. Small, tossable, excellent driving dynamics, and one of…
