Sounds like you got a good deal. It happens. I have a friend who works at a dealer that got a non-running E90 325 on a trade-in. The service department said it had a "blown motor" and he bought it from the dealer for $3000. $600 in parts and some work on the fuel pump later the blown motor is running just fine and…

Where are you guys seeing driving E30s with any motor for less than $1000?

And looking at the PDK acronym, something like this may not even be 4 words.

Is TDFI even an English acronym?

The blunder is that our society liked it, not that Chrysler's PR firm played us perfectly.

I dish it out where it's deserved. Help me find the baseless and speculative argument, though.

"The older ones with real autos are worse sports cars than their manually equipped counterparts, yes." I say that based on real world experience and the monetary values of the manuals vs autos that you typically see today. …

The older ones with real autos are worse sports cars than their manually equipped counterparts, yes. I'm not picking nits, there are SUBSTANTIAL differences between dual clutches and automatics. And sure, modern automatics are way better than old ones. But guess what? Modern manuals and dual clutches are way…

The GC serves its purpose, true. But, fun fact: you COULD afford to maintain a Boxster, it's not expensive.

The steering is such a big part of what makes a sports car enjoyable. I own and periodically daily drive a 986 Boxster, so maybe I am just spoiled in terms of steering feel, but the car in general is not a difficult thing to live with.

No, you're not correct. I'm well aware that modern Camaros and Mustangs do well in all types of "sporty" driving. And I am comparing the Genesis to the FR-S/BRZ, 370, Mustang, etc...note the "et all" in my last post.

Ferraris and Lamborghinis don't use automatics, they use dual clutch gearboxes. These are not the…

You said it yourself- "The steering is direct and weighted nicely (though some may find it heavy), but doesn't provide much feedback, and not as sharp as the FR-S I test drove." I didn't believe that it literally felt like a Sonata- the guy in the video was pretty clearly explaining how it reminded him more of that…

The FR-S interior is horribly cheap, yes. I don't know about the quality on the Mustang or Camaro, but I do know that I can't stand to look at the Camaro's. Tell me about how the car "comes alive" though. What type of driving are you doing when you "open it up"? This is where everything I've seen indicates that…

I'll drive anything someone will hand me the keys to. I've read that the car is disconnected and too appliance-like. I believe the phrase was a 2-door RWD Sonata. What other cars do you have experience with to compare it to?

What I've read, friends that have driven them, and the type of people that I know that own them.

The Genesis coupe is terrible. Cheap and bad is still bad- if you don't want to pay for a new <insert competitor here>, pay for a used one. If you want the warranty, buy a Camry- there are plenty of competitors out there that are easy to maintain and don't break too terribly. And the new C7 may or may not be a…

This is the only way to accomplish what they're going for. It's really that simple.

Should be pretty easy to find (and not too expensive) on eBay if you search for Syd Mead and Hot Wheels.

I had no idea this wasn't something Mattel didn't think up on their own. that explains how it's so much cooler than anything they think up...

The fact that an American car is the best-selling car anywhere in Europe astounds me. An unexpected surprise "bonus" I guess.

I'm seeing the tour in Asheville in a couple of weeks, can't wait!
