I would that. And not much else.

This is obvious to most people who aren't glued to MSNBC, but yes, thank you for pointing it out. He's not a naturally humble person.

Thank you, Tyler. I commented on some of Sprey's comments right away in the original post (was so sick and tired of the weekly anti-F35 posts on the Gawker network), but it's nice to see someone with a deeper background take a look at his diatribe. The whole thing smacks of "back in my day..." sour grapes. And "back…

I realize you have an Abarth, so it would be hard to admit these things, but I'm not the only one saying them (I didn't include the rest of the negative comments about the powertrain, but they did like the exhaust note, which is also what I said):

Mathematically, it has to be Porsche. As they say, there is no substitute.

Ugh. No, it's not any of those things... even in Abarth form it's cramped, plasticky, tippy, has terrible blind spots, is cheaply built, and is uncomfortable for both tall and short drivers (I'm 6'2" and my wife is 5'4", and neither of us were comfortable). They don't even get crazy-good mileage. The Abarth has a…

Ugh. Much ado about nothing. We should be so lucky to have giraffes, and Africa as a continent should be proud to have them. Showing a giraffe doesn't reduce their humanity anymore than showing a copper statue reduces ours. They're both iconic, and they make for great imagery people can recognize. Get over this PC…

And all of these "we need more women" arguments were where, exactly, when "The Avengers" movie was in production?

First, I love the C30 Polestar (almost bought a regular C30, myself). Second, you will never find one (most dealers don't even have C30s, anymore). Third, the C30 is a stupid choice if you have kids. Yes, it has vestigial rear seats, but access to them is far more compromised than in a 4-door vehicle. If you're doing…

Too little, too late. Already sold mine... and don't intend on investing in another.

YES! But, will we get it in the US? Suddenly I have interest in Buick again...

Not so hard to believe... we have a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and a MINI Cooper S. Same principle. The wife needs 4 doors and the ability to get to our family cabin. I need something to get me to work and back with economy and fun. Hence, two completely different cars for completely different purposes. Choice is good.

Wow. That's horrible. There's no unity to anything. All they need to do is look at an modern VW, or heck, even a Ford, and they'll have an idea of what a "nice" interior should be. This looks like something alien... not something I'd want to spend time staring at for very long.

Yep, yep, yep... Jalopnik wins the weekend for all of us old enough to have actually played this (insanely hard) game in the arcades.

And at that same moment, I likewise lost any interest I had in Buick. So, moving on...

You had me at "6 speed manual." The only others are the Tacoma and a semi-neutered Ram. I used to have a Tacoma, for that very reason alone.

I'd like to know why it's so cheaply made. I really, really wanted an Abarth... until I drove one. The exhaust sound was great, and it had some pep, but the rest was crap. The interior is the most plasticky, uncomfortable place you can imagine, the driving position is horrible, the blind spot is ridiculous, and the…

No. Do not want.

Yeah, I'm in that boat, too. Except I would never buy this. MINI created it's own shark just so it could jump it.

Yep, knew about this, but a reminder is never a bad thing... these guys (or, um, guy) did the "inspired by a fighter jet cockpit" thing well before Lamborghini made it relatively commonplace.
