Looks tall and chubby. FWD too? If Alfas are just going to be lipstick on a Fiat, Europe can keep 'em.

So it's really "How to make your speedometer indicate 170mph in a parking lot" which is pointless. Congratulations, you got me to click on your stupid article. Page views go up, respect for website goes down.

The LS4 is the transverse V8 I was talking about, but I think GM killed it anyway. The LS3 is the 6.2 V8 in the Corvette & Camaro. No one cares what DOHC means they just think they need it and perception is important to Cadillac because they are trying to regain the respect they once had. Cadillac could have used the…

Cadillac doesn't like pushrod motors in cars, they're not bothered by what type of engine goes in the Escalade as long as it is big and rumbly. The CTS-V is the exception that proves the rule, but it appears suitably high-tech enough that people won't be bothered to know what type of valvetrain it has. Maybe attitudes…

AWD might work though. I don't know how they would add power since the Northstar is dead even if it would fit. Cadillac doesn't like pushrod motors so the LS4 isn't an option either (if they're still building it). I can only hope that GM is working on a forced induction version of the 3.6L V6.

There must be different regulations for commercial operators.

If someone decided to make a collection of Jalopnik stories into a book, this one would be in it. Thanks for a good read Wes.

It might sell in places where they care about off road ability (not just the appearance of it) and don't care too much about MPG. So probably the Middle East, maybe Australia and South Africa.

The Mazdaspeed MX-5 has 10 more hp than a stock NC, weighs about 60 lb. less, and they only built 5500 of them. If Mazda really thought it was a problem they would have done more.

I wouldn't say the MX-5 is underpowered for anything other than drag racing. I wouldn't say 'no' to a little more low end torque but really it won't let you down if you drive it like it's meant to be driven. It's not going to set any 'ring records but for me the driving experience is better than anything else I've…

I thought God's bottle opener was the Kingdom Tower in Riyadh.

This is why we should all carry pro-quality DSLRs with us at all times and always shoot in raw format.

I think I read something about places with higher altitudes needing lower octane so I'm guessing the reverse would be true.

In California we get 87, 89 & 91 AKI which is equal to Europe's 91, 93 & 95 RON, respectively. Some eastern states and Canada have up to 94 AKI which is equal to Europe's 98 RON. And of course, if you're headed for the track you can usually find some 100 AKI nearby.

Heresy! Whoever built this: there is a stake and a stack of firewood with your name on it.

I think this is more like Plinko than Pachinko.

That was my nickname for… you know what, nevermind.

I wonder if people made as big of a deal when Buick switched from Straight 8s to V8s back in the 50s. People complain about cars being stuck in the past (Mustangs without IRS, NASCAR without fuel injection) until a company decides to get rid of an anachronism that they're personally fond of. Sure the I6 is an…

He's an elected official, not a monarch. Being reckless with his security wouldn't be fulfilling the duty that comes with his office.
