It couldn’t possibly be that no one “accidentally” purchased the CTS-V because it was pretty obvious what that car was and targeted to. Where as with the new diluted CT4-V and CT5-V models you can get the crowd with cash money who come in to the dealer, want a cadillac, and want whatever the top of the line model is.…

Ferraris without 3 pedals and a gated shifter make make sad.

What’s up with the with the fake APC ricer pretend gated shifter plate in the console? That’s just about the equivalent level of a stick on Type R badge. 

I’m kind of with you here. The 355 was the last classically beautiful Ferrari, the 360 was “ok”, but everything else since has been kinda weird looking IMO.

I saw that too, and was like... “Seriously?!, that’s some cheap stick on ricer stuff right there.”

My Fiat has tap to turn. I actually like it. I find it kind of handy. The only thing I wish I could do is change the number of ticks/blinks it does. It’s set to 3 and I wish I could change it to 5. 

The wood trim was absolutely factory. I have an ‘01 Forester S Premium that I bought in November with almost identical stick on wood trim around the radio and A/C vents. In the many years some of it has been removed, but I have most of the pieces that were removed.

Forester Woodgrain trim, (code: manual IWH, auto.…

anyway I just started my car with the emergency key and drove to the store to get watch batteries.

No it’s 100% true. Well except I was wrong in that it was a 2014 and not a 2015. They found the emergency key in the fob and either used it or the key pad to get in. (I wasn’t there so I’m not sure.) But even with that in hand there is no where to use it. There is no ignition lock. Not even one under a cover in the…

About 2 -3 weeks ago a friend of mine and her father had driven their 2015 Ford Explorer about 3 hours away to attend a dog show. I started receiving texts from her on Sunday that they were stuck. The battery in their key fob had died, there were no stores anywhere close to where they were to get a new battery, and…

Semaphores... mmmmMMMmmmmmmm.

That’s when I get very blunt with the sales people. “I will not buy a CVT, and if you show me another one you are wasting both or our times.” I go in to dealers with a very specific want list, and if they can’t meet it, then I don’t buy as simple as that. It frustrates the hell out of sales people but I really don’t…

Was going to post this.. I have a ‘70 Chevy C-10 with coil springs on all 4 corners.

Well I fully feel that this is the UK’s goal. I don’t know how many cars I see for sale or off the road on the FB car boards because their Polo failed MOT because it had some surface rust on the lower control arms. Or their Capri had worn sway bar bushings.

Hell, here are actual numbers from 2014. 4,650 cars failed…

Also, pretty sure I didn’t care for it on that Celica. Didn’t like it on the Enzo. And don’t like it on the A90/FT1 either. Putting a beak on cars makes them look like Witch Hazel from a Bugs Bunny cartoon.

Well, I “was” trying to stay in the Honda family. If you are going to jump Nissan why not go all the way and say, who’s going to swap in an LSx?

Who’ll be the first to B16 or K20 swap one of these?

Star for you. Was going to comment this, see you’ve done it for me. 

Jesus, don’t tell them to major in graphic design.

Having said that, “current industry dynamics favor high-volume cars,” Hollis said. That means that even when you’re Toyota and you sell more RAV4s than Porsche sells cars, period—and even when this is a car you want to make—it’d be madness to dump hundreds of millions of dollars into a niche sports car program at a…

Making my decision on basis that I’ve owned both a Jeep Wrangler (JK) and a Suzuki Sidekick. I’d own the Sidekick over the Wrangler any day, so I’d probably pick the Jimny over the Gladiator as well.
