Because they’re thirsty in Atlanta, my friend.

There are faster and cheaper cars then a Ferrari 250 GTO, it doesn’t change the value of the Ferrari at all.

If you had Mike Ditka as a hero in the first place you’re already fucked.

Fanboys wont see a problem with this, and will liken it to being sort of coming from a boutique automaker a la Aston or Mclaren. But I see through the bullshit and foresee quality problems and suspect panel fittings down the line.

I had an argument with my sister over the weekend over the Genesis. She was riding with me and one drove by. She said, what kind of car is that? The badge looks Bentley, but it does not look like a Bentley. I said it is a Hyundai Genesis. She didn’t believe it was a Hyundai either. Then I realized down to the wheels,…

I agree with you completely. I know academically that Kia and Hyundai make genuinely good cars nowadays. You’d think being pleasantly surprised by what I found at the back of my sister’s boyfriend’s Santa Fe when he asked me to help him replace his brakes would change my mind. But I just can’t shake the impression I…

I just always say that I want my monthly payment to be less than $1k a month.  For some reason that seems to throw them off their game.

A manufacturer’s dealers are uniformly bad and you don’t think the manufacturer is part of the issue?

I’ve been waiting for you to post a story on this, Tom. I had to go to three Kia dealers in 2009 before I was allowed to test drive a Soul and Rondo. The first two dealers just wouldn’t talk to me until I told them what I wanted my monthly payment to be. I just walked out. I ended up getting a Hyundai wagon. The…

I don’t think the dealership experience would be the biggest hurdle to overcome.
I know this has been said and debated but the biggest problem they still face is the badge.

Jalops love to praise companies such as KIA and Hyundai for taking bold steps and meeting delivering enthusiast vehicles but none (or few) of them…

Yup, it’s like making the best computer chip on the market and then putting it in a laptop made of cardboard. Performance is separate from quality.

They work significantly better than the old route of dryer and create much less waste. Up and down about 5 times and your hands are dry.

That’s a Boxster Spyder...it costs more than a basic 911 because it was an extremely limited edition car-MSRP is $2000 cheaper than a Carrera but in reality the Spyder is much more money due to demand. My friend actually sold his Carrera S for one. The Spyder made 5 more horsepower than the 991.1 Carrera btw.

Boxster Spyder =/= regular Boxster

I was about to say MEN DO THIS TOO!!!

They could have put “super wheel coupled drive motion” and have been equally stupid, but, to be fair this badge is on something that has a 2 speed transfer case and a locking center diff for actual 4wd

Stickers? Hell, not that long ago dealers used to actually SCREW dealer emblems to new vehicles. My grandfather special ordered a new dually diesel F350 back in ‘87 and when he was doing the walk around noticed the dealer had screwed one to the tailgate and instantly got madder than I had ever seen him before. The…

It was worth showing when it was considered a new piece of tech. Probably why it’s not a badge you see anymore.

But wait... Subaru’s not done yet.

How to impress onlookers.
