All he needs is the ability to blame someone else. That's just as good as any currency. 

The entire article is a disingenuous take to try to slam the Big 3 as usual because Erik would genuinely prefer that the Big 3 go under and we all lose our jobs. Toyota’s plants are still open. Tesla’s plants are still open. Almost all plants are still open with the exception of one Ford, one FCA, and Honda. And if…

You’ve interpreted my gripe to be with the lack of performance - it’s not. It has everything to do with driver ENGAGEMENT. The manual transmission on the G70 feels like it’s connected by rope.

I mean, take the title away from BMW if you want, but if you’re going to try and give it to Genesis because they sell one car with one manual variant on a turbo 4 engine, you really probably need to give the crown to Porsche instead. 

When the Isle of Man TT organizers say something is dangerous, it’s really fucking dangerous.

Lemme get my Nomex suit on here... one sec...

I blame coffee. Coffee and the enlistment bonus.

It comes with all the OEM parts, not like you'd have to scrounge around to put it back to stock. At $20k it's at the low end of the pricing on Caymans. 

.....unsure of that. This car looks absolutely pristine, and judging by the area it’s photographed in, been taken care of by very well-off owners.

In theory maybe.  Good luck finding an S2000 that hasn't been ruined by awful "mods" by some idiot 23 year old owner.  

So I’ve drove the FR-S and BRZ when they came out, and have been around quite a few Miatas. I followed the FR-S/BRZ religiously during development and had all intentions of buying one (ultimately didn’t)

A star for the most intelligent post thus far, even if it’s not what we wanted to hear
