Don’t be that guy. Obviously, power is required for a drag race. The author is pointing out, that sometimes, a deficiency in raw power can be overcome with things like lower weight, and (more importantly in this specific example) advantageous engine placement. The mustang almost certainly had both more horsepower, and…

Your first comment was pretty good.

Jason, I thoroughly enjoyed this article, and I hope to see more of this type in the future. Despite what some commenters (such as ReverendDexter) are saying about content covering the more mundane, common vehicles on the road, I feel covering non-performance cars is a very important aspect of what Jalopnik is, and…

Seriously? Man.. I thought I was on Jalopnik...

I can see why it may not be the most attractive feature from the outside; but look at the next photo down (interior), how the door-mounted mirrors allow for much thinner A-Pillars, and therefore much better sight lines for the driver! Isn’t that a fair trade-off? I’m someone who is constantly nitpicking the tiniest of…

Well, you’ve convinced me (about the ten years vs. twenty years thing). You clearly know your Miatas, and you make some good points. I had not considered the affect that the change from the 1.6 to the 1.8 had on the curb weight; publications tend to like to get the earliest available model-year for those generational…

Stock turbo setups will do that*

You must have serious trouble understanding the adverb “almost” — the literal definition is “not quite” or “very nearly” — considering we are half-way-though 2015, and Production stopped in early 1997, we are very much almost at the 20 year mark.

It seems enthusiasts just want to believe that Subaru engineered this car, for some reason. I suppose I don’t know this to be true, but I read that Subaru supplied the block design/layout, the assembly line to build it on, and a few tweaks to the suspension settings to make it slightly less tail-happy (for some…

Despite what the author wrote, I think it deserves to be on the list because it is truly Toyota’s first valid attempt at once-again embracing the heritage of their fun-to-drive, sporty, RWD vehicles that made them so famous throughout the 80’s and 90’s. Enthusiasts had been clamoring for a proper, RWD Toyota since the…

Well, to be fair, the author’s exact wording was “The ND is smaller, more nimble, and feels more like a Miata than anything we’ve seen in almost twenty years.” From what I have read, the ND feels more like a true Miata (the NA) than either of it’s predecessors (the NC or the NB) primarily because it is closer in…

Ah, touché. I failed to recognize that important qualifier, and felt compelled to blindly defend $kaycog in my morning haze. Carry on.

I agree. On the bright side, several other commenters have chimed in and pointed out that it is even easier than I thought for the driver to stow the screen away in the Audi pictured above (just the press of a button) and what’s even better, user MaxxRezz poitned out that they allow you to do exactly what you…

Perhaps, but at least Audi made it retractable. Additionally, I have heard (though have not confirmed this myself) that they even hide an option in the settings menu that prevents it from automatically popping-out upon start-up.

I hope you aren’t one of those insufferable people who actually feels Facebook or Twitter are necessary.

Fun Fact: Only BMW Motorcycles are referred to as Beemers. When referring to BMW automobiles, (for some reason) the purists insist that the nickname be spelled Bimmer, despite it sharing the same pronunciation. It’s peculiar, but not using the proper spelling is an easy way to alert the real fans of the brand to your…

You should watch the way his hands move in that .gif when it is viewed while listening to this morning’s ‘Traffic Jams’ song. It made my day.

OH. MY. GOD.

Well.. I mean, sure, it might be a tad difficult to actually use the truck as a truck, but sacrificing ‘function’ and ‘utility’ is a small price to pay for all that compensatin’ you can accomplish with the macho, tough-guy appearance provided by the impractical, unsafe, and frankly just plain silly ride height!

Haha! This, coming from the guy with “Alfa” in his username. That’s a good one!
