I'm roughly about 17 zillion percent certain that the guys who designed this have a far greater understanding of physics than most people.

There's a valuable lesson here. No matter how dedicated you are to the cause of I Don't Know Shit About Cars, sometimes it doesn't hurt to know just a little. Alternately, you could go full freakout like Jerry Ascione, and make a big deal out of the fact that you didn't know some cars have been getting rid of spare…
Although you're absolutely right, you're also forgetting how greedy and selfish the general populace outside of the automotive corporations really are.
BAM!
MKIV Supra's handle like rigid boats. Their cast iron blocks weigh the front end down making the rear end restless, and the suspension geometry is more suited to grand touring than heavy track use. In a straight line they're like cruise missiles, but going through a corner they're next to impossible to maintain a…
I submit the Chrysler/Plymouth/Dodge Neon. They're so horrendous in build quality that it's fairly rare to see them on the streets today, but they had surprisingly potent performance for their class back in the day. It proved quite successful in SCCA racing, rallying, autocross and a ton of other series. There's a…
Heated seats. So nice for the winter time.

Having a crease or chrome bar across the rear of the car that extends into the taillights. It doesn't look good so I don't know why a bunch of the european manufacturers are doing it.
That's like picking between two evils. I rather have bucketloads of awesome instead.
That's one of the things I like about Jalopnik is the commenters. They're usually pretty intelligent and even when they're not it's not like uber troll bad. I don't really care about Miatas or wagons, but when I go to other car sites (autoblog, others) that do cover cars like Lamborghinis and the new Mustang, and…
How could you forget the Chaparral 2J, it was so good it was banned.
Because it isn't hard or particularly expensive to make something that doesn't look cheap. My first new car was a 1991 Honda Civic DX hatchback. It was not an expensive car. It's main American competitors would have been the Cavalier, the Ford Escort, and the Dodge Colt. I can't begin to explain how much better the…
The R18 is just hideous.
That's not a Willys, THIS is a Willys.

Even more reason to call it the Fairlady again!
one in my parking garage right now. that color too. It might be that one.
