It’s not as though the 5.7 liter in the corvette is a larger version of the BMW OHC motor with forced induction (aforementioned with drawbacks aside from power density).

This is the correct give.

This is going to be a 2008 all over again, only what was then the Godzilla phenomenon will be attributed to GM for a change. Certainly the debut is much more interesting than January 2013 was here, which seems like yesterday (and kind of was, in ‘Vette-years).

Could have been a way to incorporate traditional Corvette styling cues by reintroducing the circular taillamps everyone was pining for when the C7 took on a corporate rear fascia. This is more of a continuation of the details, which kind of saps the clean-sheet theme.  Still an amazing car, no doubt, and the looks are…

Funny, but I don’t think that a country such as China or trade bloc like the EU particularly falls into either of those categories. I suggest listening to an economist like Dani Rodrik for a bit more of a nuanced perspective than that of macroeconomics as it applies to the most microscopic consumer, which dominates…

I think that someone getting a 370Z at this point is willing to sacrifice a little practicality, might as well go for a Camaro or something else built on sports car bones rather than a world car that builds in excitement as a trim-level.

You could argue the same of passenger cars and the places where people require them. I still want a car and I want to be able to drive it properly, thanks.

20-year-old me loved my screaming ‘99 Regal GS just fine! Hated it a little also, but if you don’t hate a modified sub-$500 car a bit then it’s just stolen.

While you think that being a conscientious participant in your nation’s economy is stupid protectionism, the stupid “protectionists” elsewhere, such as in Japan, further their industries to fund better jobs and innovation by buying domestic. The export-worthy products you buy from other countries are the result of…

So then what’s the point of window frame-less doors?  

We should have known that $kay is a huge Z4 admirer!

Jokes aside, thanks for keeping the treasured tradition around for so long despite the occasional whinger.

Is this article merely a satire of irritating hyperlink abuse?

If you are American, I suppose it would be convenient to be your own perfect counterpoint.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Where did sex/gender even enter the equation? (Other than your presumption of Panda Steaks’ orientation)

Make valid statements then.

The automatic is geared far taller, and the manual has an LSD (though the loss from that is probably negligible).  Sixth gear in the manual trans cars is 1:1.

Careful, people might cut themselves on the edge of the bottom of your comment.

Ah gotcha. This isn’t my area of expertise, so I’m just regurgitating what I overhear or come across while casually browsing Caterpillar or trucks in general (which paints the truck/highway diesel branch as an undeserving victim of the company’s bureaucratic lethargy).

That’s fair and I’m not singling you out; the FP comment section has just gotten so damned tiring, which is not to say there’s much reason to be more engaged by the articles of late.

Eh?
