Or how to make a profit.

Its funny how much we enthusiasts obsess about cars, but how little we know about how they’re actually made.

Look at the reviews for the V6 Camaro with the 1LE package. It’s been given very high marks across the board and also has laptimes that make cars 3x the price seem slow. I’ve seen some of them offered at Chevy dealers for less than $30,000. And 0-60 is around 5.2 seconds, which I wouldn’t really call underpowered.

Okay so - Let me start by saying I get that this is not an apples to apples situation BUT - looks aside (some people just might not dig it) - if you want a turbo BRZ/FRS/86 why not buy a turbo Camaro? NOBODY has said anything negative about the Alpha platform Camaro’s driving dynamics, it can be had for less than 30k

Honestly, the best answer for your neighbor is this:
New Spark Plugs
New Spark Plug Wires
4 New Ignition Coils
1 New Starter

This, dear friends, is more evidence that sexy things are inevitably difficult to live with, by their very nature. When we are smitten, we do not think too deeply about the cost. We simply revel in the sheet metal beauty that is the RX-8, and overlook the pain. It is what we must do.

Yes, albeit with LS motors under the hood.

A performance/supercar’s #1 goal is to be as fast as possible within its own limitations (even though 99% of owners will never tap half of it’s potential). And you blame the manufacturers for making that happen?

No, not “period.” They’re stretching the definitions in the contract beyond their literal meaning because they fucked up and didn’t do their job in the first place, and they did work anyway under the implication that it wouldn’t be charged for. This is anything but so clear.

She got me the clicks but you got my hopes up! :-D

What breed of guide dog do you use? Lab or Golden Retriever?

False. They’re distinctive for sure.

I’ll take this design over anything Lexus or Infiniti is currently pushing.

It’s sad that like you said, it is one of the best sedans that GM has ever made and no one cares or notices. Arguably Cadillac is at its best right now car wise, and the only thing they can push are Escalades and XT5's.

I wouldn’t be concerned with your fellow readers pushing the price up. The average income of Jalopnik commentariat is above “pizza delivery” but below “shift manager”.

I love the rare instance when NASCAR runs in the rain. Yeah, it’s not possible on the ovals, because physics are a bitch, but man, it’s such a unique event when it happens on the road courses.

Now playing

How much do you think this car costs?

It leans more towards the $80,000 bracket.

Cheryl, are you high right now? Because that’s not a real thing.

Here’s what I found on the web for gorilla masks.

So much gold in this:

Can’t wait for the dark wheel trend to be over.
