As someone else explained below, the original cars had over 200HP before the rating system changed. My second car was a 1992 ES300 (4-speed auto) and the owners manual said something along the lines of 205 HP and 200 Lb-Ft. It actually felt faster than 185HP suggests, although that car bit the dust almost a decade…

I agree with you there. I had a lengthy argument with Doug about this particular car earlier this week. I don't think this car comes close to being the most attractive car of all time, especially when fitted with the three extra front air intakes. While it is definitely a very cool car (an early 1960s equivilent of a…

Who in their right mind pays "most if not all" of full MSRP for a used performance part? I rarely see a used exhaust, turbo kit, or set of wheels go for anything over 50% of what the owner originally paid for those parts.

Plus, the amount of time spent returning a modified car back to stock can be huge!

Back around 2008, there was a kid who stole the fender strakes off my RX-8 while it was sitting in a dealer's lot behind a barbed-wire fence. Luckily, the dealer had video cameras, which caught the kid's face on film. The kid was quite recognizable to the dealer because he was a frequent "customer" of the dealer. He…

Why did you not like the Ferrari tour? Did you go on the regular museum tour or the behind-the-scenes VIP factory tour? We are going on the latter and I have heard it is awesome from multiple people.

I really love this particular story. I am going to Italy for my honeymoon next month. I have both Pagani Factory and Ferrari Factory tours confirmed on the itinerary. I seriously can't wait. Best honeymoon ever.

Car looks to be in amazing shape. 99, 4x4, green, sport package?? It is basically the perfect model. He should ship that car down to Atlanta and easily fetch twice the price he is asking up North!!

Totally agree. Peter Egan is one of my absolute faves. Few journalists, especially of the automotive variety, even come close.

I am confused as to how a horse managed to puke on its rider while the rider was on the horse.

I dont get it. After the M3, the GT-R is surely the most common vehicle at the Atlanta C&O.

Regardless, the camo car in the picture clearly has a soft top, FWIW.

Interesting. I think the camo car linked on this page looks TOO much like the F-type.

Glad to see mules are running on the road. As our host knows, I'm sure, camo is VERY deceiving. Historically, Mazda also uses other methods of disguise as well (lumpy leather attachments, false body parts, etc) on its pre-production cars. Until they actually show the car, it will be very difficult to discern exactly…

It is my understanding that the 550, 575, 360, 430, and 458 are quite reliable and even less expensive to service.

Not only does Doug get his car serviced at Land Rover Buckhead here in Atlanta, but he PAYS extra to get it serviced there. He could get it serviced for free at Carmax, but would rather pay $50/visit to have Land Rover do it instead. What does that say about Carmax?

I think his updates are pretty funny! It's a…

I think the best method is to figure out when that manufacturer's fiscal year ends, and buy at the end of that month. Almost guaranteed to have the best incentives as everyone is pushing to get as many cars out as possible. Don't need an infographic for that!

On the Car Talk rerun this past week, a caller asked what to do about her husband, who was taking their Volvo wagon too quickly around corners and making the tires squeal. Click and Clack said the best solution is to trade the Volvo in for a Miata. So, they basically pioneered "Miata is always the answer" decades…

During my previous career, I used to work a decent bit with Randy. He is a very nice guy, and has always been quite the driver, even back when he was tooling around in Mazda6s.

The real question is, is this the only car with more headlights than the new Acura MDX?

Imagine my surprise, then, when the Enterprise guy came over and told me he had a Jaguar for me. Initially, I thought he was talking to someone else: here I am, sitting in the waiting room, wearing flip flops and a stained Laguna Seca Raceway shirt, skimming through Travis's tweets on my phone, and this guy is giving…
