The website says $39,995 but they're not available yet. I'm willing to bet the R will be closer to $50K in Canada by the time you put a couple of options on it. And even if you don't the dealers will gouge you given their limited availability. A friend of mine just picked up an R in South Florida. Believe me, there…

This GTI four door S with a six-speed manual, performance package, and lighting package has an MSRP of $28,685. That is a lot of money for a car with no leather, no sunroof, no navigation, and no automatic lights.

Last summer I drove a manual diesel 500L over five days across France, Switzerland and Germany to the Stelvio Pass. The Stelvio Pass. In a 500L diesel. Despite the stunning scenery and the amazing roads, the car was a hateful experience. Slow, not nearly enough brakes, vague transmission and steering and an irritating…

I was wondering when Julia would be on.

The year they unveiled the Crosstour I went to sit in the back seat at the Detroit auto show and banged my elbow off the door frame. I’ve hated the car ever since.

Don’t ask to eat food in my car.
Don’t ask to drink in my car.
Don’t ask to smoke in my car.
Don’t ask to change the music in my car.
Don’t complain about how I drive my car.
Don’t leave your crap in my car.
Don’t leave greasy handprints on the inside of the windows in my car.
Kick your feet clean of snow/mud before getting…

"Alright, listen lady. I'm gonna tell you a story and I don't wanna hear 'Act of God', okay?!" - Jack Burton.

I’d be very interested to see how this fares against a 2004-2005 Mazdaspeed MX-5. The older one had Bilsteins, a Torsen LSD, shock tower brace, and 17” forged alloys. But it also had a turbo with 178 hp with a very similar curb weight. So who’s gonna do the comparison?

Is it FWD? It looked like it had a bit of understeer at 1:45.

Is your contention that non-luxury intenders are willing to take the walk into luxury vehicles or that current luxury owners will be tempted into Hyundai dealers by a compelling mix of features and pricing? For its part, I think Cadillac is looking to take market share from current luxury automakers buyers as the…

“Why buy a brand new Cessna Citation when you can buy this low-hours C5 Galaxy for the same price?”

Well, what I meant was I can't be mad at the car for its fuel economy because I knew going in it would be a thirsty proposition. I've never owned a V8 and I don't drive far for work so I thought I'd get it out of my system before gas becomes ruinously expensive. Twenty years from now it'll be pretty hard to run a V8.…

Oh yeah! It's all coming back to me now.

Is it even on?

Is that Christopher Lloyd standing next to him?
Solved the oil change problem. Bought a fumoto valve so I'll do my own from now on.

The only real downside is the previous owner (also the original owner) was a chain smoker so the interior smelled like an ashtray for the first little while. After extensive scrubbing and febreezing it's okay now.

Totally worth it!

I bought a 2006 Magnum R/T six months ago for $7800 with 86,000 km (54,000 miles) on the clock and a set of winter tires on factory chrome wheels. I've enjoyed an entire Canadian winter of drifting and general hoonage with comfortable space for four others and their luggage. The only problems it's given me is a jammed…

Yeah, but we've got the Crosstour. It's a lot of....umm.... Honda?

How much can it tow or carry with five full-size adults (say 200 lb. each.) in each seat?

How long or how far at today's average gasoline prices and average annual mileage would you have to drive it to offset the incremental cost of the diesel engine over its V6 gas equivalent?
