As a guy who rides cycles a lot this is more efficient that most motorcycles due to the aerodynamic efficiency. That it costs less than most motorbikes for sale as well is just icing on the cake.

Which would you rather have a cow fart, or real live transportation? Hopefully my Elio will not smell like a cow fart though.

The mighty don't fall with a mighty thud usually. They get chip, chip, chipped away over time until they are a shadow of who they were and THEN they usually fall. The Japanese did kick Detroit's ass in the late 70s through the 90s because they innovated, built small cars well, and made quality a standard feature on…

Not when being a Cutlass meant something. Hell in 1976 it was THE best selling car in America, period. My Uncle had a 1964 442 that he bought new, it was no "Piece of shit" I assure you. Your comment indicates you have a pretty shallow grasp of automotive history.

None the less an investigation will have to be done to pursue evidence to make charges stick. Otherwise its all heresay. It angers me as well.

I drive an '08 XB with manual transmission myself. I like it, so does my son, and my dog.

I actually have an XB as well. Love it, so does my son and my dog.

The Big Nasty did pop its lid. And it is well in Corvette land!

A modern day "King of Thrones" Joffrey?

As Paul Harvey said is "The Rest of the Story" the civil lawsuits have produced five out of court settlements and one that the victim's family is insisting go to trial. Will this bankrupt the family, giving them the affluectomy they sorely need to present the spread of this horrible disease?

There are lots of tragedies here, starting with those killed and maimed. If we had real investigative journalism though they would investigate this judge and find out if she had taken any pay off, or the promise of one to come.

None other than Bruce Crower developed this idea. http://www.damninteresting.com/the-six-stroke…

In truth would it not be awesome to have a Japanese car with an inline six and a manual transmission driving the rear wheels? And at a reasonable price point?

Very very true.

Are you serious? You want to cannon blast motorists who are texting, applying makeup and eating food, swatting kids and even on occasion, looking at the hood and fenders to keep the horizon somewhat in focus? Can you imagine how the lawyers will have a field day when this causes a little old lady to have a heart…

LOL, I agreed. True story, I actually found her a brand new manual tranny Versa that a couple won on a game show, it had 63 miles and still had stickers on it. It drove, very nice for an econobox. Got there ahead of the crowd. She decided against learning the manual trannie and backed out. There were people waiting in…

You're right, a huge difference. In fact the backseat of the Versa is actually usable for adults. The Fiesta is the better chassis imho.

Believe it or not I actually found and bought her one with a manual- found a couple who won one on a game show, had 63 miles on it. Nice car. She was afraid of a manual transmission and I have my refund as there were folks waiting to buy the car. Don't tell her but I agree with you, the manual is much nicer to drive.

Hey, that's George Romney and a young Mitt Romney in the cover pic.
