Agreed. What is the material for the center console cup holder area? Marbled plastic? And the leather on top fo the dash just looks like a bad toupée.

This is a taxi, where fuel cost plays a huge concern. The Euro version of the NV200 gets twice the MPG with a diesel. Here in NYC, diesel fuel is about 25% more expensive, and that is a large fuel cost savings. Plus having to fuel up less often means the taxi has more time to pick up fares. Also, the long term…

Its a minivan, it makes sense. I don't understand why they don't have the diesel engine option, but besides that, I don't see much to complain about.

Can someone tell me if an Isuzu NPR can pass crash tests, why this would not be able to? Is it the commercial vs consumer aspect?

Carroll Shelby does, that is who.

Forgetting that the point of bumpers is to allow you to bump into things without damaging the car. Now days a small bump requires replacing the entire fron assembly. Bring back the chrome!

I thought the same thing. Why is the Power to Weight ratio going down as we go up the list? And then I realized the author does not know what power to weight ration is.

No where anywhere near entrapment, unless you argue the driver thought i was a real bum, and called someone on the cell phone to act distracted so as to not make eye contact with the bum. Perhaps a really creative lawyer could argue the driver has "bum anxiety". But it could be illegal to stand in the median where…

I was under the impression that due to the small frontal area, and the increased air flow over the rear body work, there wasn't going to be a need for crazy spoilers like in F1.

I like Vipers, don't get me wrong, but it is a bit apples to oranges comparing a SRT-10 ACR which has no A/C, radio, and is much less a street car than any of the other ones you list. And while not real useful in the rain, that Viper did have 200 HP more than the NSX-R.

Get some correct information. "Though Carbon Fiber is constituted of carbon which is flammable, the fiber itself dose not flare up even if ignited by flame of match or gas burners. If heated up higher than 400 degree C together with some fuel, the fiber slowly burns (oxidized) but stops burning right after the…

"If a police car were to be turned off everytime it stopped and turned back on every time it needed to move, it would also add a lot of extra wear and tear to the engine." Old myth. What about all the hybrids with auto on/off engine systems when you comes to a stop, or electrics that use the engine above a certain…

You also need to power the radio, computer, and all the other electronics in the car. Without the engine running the battery would die fairly quickly.

Did I miss something or is the Jezebel staff filling in for Ray this morning

I was right there with you.

Someone remind me again why GMC exists as a separate brand. I just don't see the point or the appeal.

For anyone at Sebring this weekend, it is doing demo laps at 12:30pm on Thurs. Jalopnik has to have someone at Sebring, right? Please say yes...

Strike one! How about Ferrari in Maranello?

Tata is Indian, and I believe all of its production facilities are in India.

"OK, so that's it — now, more importantly, what do you think? Is the new Ferrari hot or not?"
