Nashville got the Parthenon, Knoxville got… THE SUNSPHERE

A little more than a year ago, Ray called the SHO a "bloated-disguised-as-fun machine." Have they fixed that? Or, Justin, do you disagree with Ray's assessment? Or, is this article a waste of space?

When you shift with your left hand does it feel like a stranger is doing it?

This article, the one about the new Versa (Great News!) and several others about "nanny-state-bloated hybrids, crossovers, and shitboxes" are giving me the feeling that Jalopnik is backsliding to the bad old days before its recommitment to enthusiasts with the Awesomeness Manifesto. Jalopnik has been my favorite…

I didn't really care for that car until I saw Richard Hammond drive one around Romania. Now it's definitely on my "To Buy When I'm Super Rich" list.

5 years you say? Uh oh

The way most people drink beer they wouldn't notice a little more dilution. Plus, serving it extra cold stamps out any of that pesky flavor that some may detect in their Bud Lite.

Actually it was originally brewed Lueven, Belgium and tastes pretty much like every other pilsner.

When you say you're "nonplussed" do you mean unimpressed? Because my understanding of that word is "bewildered." I'm nonplussed that Chevy churned out such an unimpressive Malibu when they've got such strong competitors coming out of Korea and Japan.

I saw the front and I was like "meh" but then I saw the back and I was all "blaaarg" but then I saw 700hp and I was like "ooh mow mow papa ooh mow mow"

It looks enough like the Mulsanne to be Bentley's take on the Aston Martin Cygnet. If they gave it an interior as nice as the Goodwood Mini they could probably sell a few in London.

I've owned 4 cars. Two Japanese, one German and one American. Two FWD, two RWD, one auto, two manual, and one DSG. Three four-bangers, one of those turbocharged, and one V8. Two hatchbacks, one coupe and one roadster. I've taken a 10,000 mile roadtrip in a Chrysler minivan from Long Beach to DC, up to Montreal and…

I respectfully and completely disagree with this. For one, the car/woman analogy doesn't work for me. I would never want a car as complicated as my wife, and I'd never want a wife as simple as a car.

I'm sort of impressed. Imagine if all that effort were spent doing something the right way. This person needs the right tools and some instruction but could probably do really good work.

The EPA came up with the MPGe standard. They run the car through their test course and see how much fuel and electricity it uses. They figure 33.7 kWh = 1 gal. gasoline.

Some say they've already built one. They need 49 more to tie Preston Tucker.

On the one hand, a 10.4 second 1/4 mile is fast. On the other hand, you could get much lower ETs for much less money.

I realize that those buttons had a purpose for a very short period of time. The person I quoted didn't understand that and extrapolated that misunderstanding to believe that turbo was just a word that people used to mean fast and not an actual mechanical device.

I hear this all the time along with "Cars were better back in the old days when they were made of metal, not like these plastic ones we have now."

"Turbos aren't real thing. My computer had a turbo button on it and it didn't do anything."
