Show me one example that makes these two vehicles look even remotely similar, beyond the fact that they are in the same segment (and therefore must have similar proportions and measurements), and the fact that they both have four wheels.

Happy to help.

This makes me sad.

Well I, for one, was thrilled to hear the rumor. It’s a 911 with the ultra-desirable, high-strung, Naturally Aspirated GT3 engine, and a manual transmission, but without the ostentatious wing, or those hideous stripes that (seemingly) all 911 R’s feature.

When I bought my first car, which had a manual transmission that I did not yet know how to operate, I asked my Dad if he would teach me how. He told me he would be happy to; but that before he would, I would have to read the vehicle’s owner’s manual completely, from cover to cover. I obliged without complaining, as…

Excellent article, Jerry. Thank you for writing it. As an engineer, a diehard car enthusiast, and dog-owner, I think about this topic a lot. it is good to see more awareness being brought to it, and it’s even better to see real, legitimate testing being done to validate some of these products.

I completely agree with what you’re saying, in the sense that no one needs anything more than an exceptionally basic car, and also that there isn’t anything objectively wrong with SUVs or CUVs.

Hey - Just because we don’t appreciate something doesn’t mean we don’t understand it.

Model bloat, exemplified!

This very phenomenon is the bane of my existence.

I died a little when I read this.

Dogs are the ones that smell like shit? Huh. Could have fooled me.

There’s no shame in being honest with yourself!

Huh? You wanted your sports car to be... bigger?

probably all 911's in general

Wow, I had no idea the RX-8 was electrically assisted. Thanks for educating me on that.
