I love Mazda, but they make some pretty damn stupid configuration decisions.

Oh sure, the Mazda5 has a stick. Want to buy a CX-5, though? A stick is only an option when it's the 2WD variety. Want AWD so you can have some better control over your car in the winter? Great! Now let's give that control right back because we're forced to be in an automatic. Not bitter at all, over here.

The most unusual manual-equipped car you can buy new today is a Mazda 5. As far as I know, it is the only minivan equipped with a manual in the U.S. domestic market. Also, you can find them for about $2,000 under MSRP because manual minivan. Do want.

He should have killed four people, he would have gotten a lighter sentence. Or he can tell the judge he's a wealthy day treader and didn't know any better.

Well, the style of this website is generally supposed to be entertaining (as opposed to like Consumer Reports or something, where they try to stick to unbiased facts). They usually use humor to achieve that. So the style is in keeping with Jalopnik's normal work. As far as how to handle this specific company, I think…

That's actually a pretty good outcome! I accidentally shifted my Miata from 3rd to 2nd trying to go into 4th the other day. The engine probably revved to 10k and the wheels locked up. Luckily I popped it into neutral before any real damage was done. My excuse is I've only been driving manual for a month. ;)

If you buy a Cayman you're making the easy choice, the safe choice, the practical choice and the boring choice. You're making the same choice thousands upon thousands of dentists and accountants make each year.

3k off list on a 20k car sounds like they either took a hit or broke even...I think you made out just fine. :)

I need one of those shift knobs for my car, if for no other reason to screw with people's heads since there are some that are incredibly gullible. Just for fun I swapped around a few of the arrow keys on a co-worker's computer keyboard and could barely contain the laughter as she called tech support to find out why…

Anyone that would "need" this video would be so bad at the internet they would never find it.

well, Patrick, I guess you, me, and my beast can't be friends.

Audi has disgraced its history...

No matter how awesome this thing is, there can only be one true Audi S1!

How on Earth is the Porschified Audi RS2 not on this list, let alone #1? It isn't because I forgot to suggest it...
