Bugatti is French, so shouldn’t this be called the Cent-Dix?

“Will I get a better deal as a repeat customer?”

My co-worker ran into the exact same problem when he went looking at a CX-5 that would fit his children’s two car seats. He ended up going with a Sante Fe Sport because it had more space, even though he vastly preferred the CX-5.

5th Gear: Why would a salesperson do a background check on a person about to buy a vehicle when there is so much incentive to just look the other way and secure some signatures?

Could manufacturers install a valved exhaust that does not ever open unless a fuse is pulled, similar to the loud mode on Aston Martin’s when you pull fuse 22?

So in place of a warranty that the F&I salesperson would normally charge me a couple grand for, I now get ~$200 worth of oil changes? Wow, thanks VW!

This looks like the physical manifestation of a stock ‘pump and dump’. Throw a big show with cars and stars to convince idiots the company has a future, then once you have their money you gut the company and Steve Saleen makes out like a bandit.

I could barely believe my eyes when saw a genuine R63 AMG in Oshawa, Ontario a few months ago. Supposedly there were just 5 R63s sold in Canada!

Collecting the poop is all well and good, but what about the pee? It’s scientifically impossible (maybe, I’m just guessing) to make a #2 without at least a little #1 dribbling out. Did the Whirlpool bags collect the urine?

I agree almost completely, except for the Veilside kit. The RX-7 is so beautiful stock, that the only cosmetic alterations should be subtle changes like different bumpers or a hood to get that OEM+ look.. People should be banned from cutting these things up to make wide body versions.

I really enjoy my 2014 Mazda 3, but I’d been thinking that when the time comes to replace it, I would be between a new Soul Red Crystal Mazda 3 Sport 6MT (6MT AWD if it ever happens) or a Peacock Green VW Golf Sportwagen 6MT AWD. Hopefully the MK8 Sportwagen still comes to Canada.

Did y’all know Steven Seagal has an energy drink called Lightning Bolt?

The only way the hatch could have been made better is if the glass slid down into the hatch to improve ventilation while driving.

As much as I want a new Speed3 to exist, you’re right. It’s too much money for them to piss away on a car that won’t sell in great enough numbers to pay for its own development.

2nd Gear: For anyone wondering (I sure was), 95 grams of CO2/km is equal to 4.1L/100km or 57.4 MPG(US)! I know they have a more optimistic testing cycle in Europe, but I can understand why automakers are concerned about sales and profitability if 95% of what they sell has to be that efficient next year or else they…

You may have just sold me on getting some New Balance shoes. It’s such a pain in the ass having to find a new pair of shoes that fit comfortably, and usually they fit different after a couple days of wearing them (too tight on baby toe, cause blisters on the back side of ankles, too snug with different socks) and you…

IIRC, the first gen Insight came stock with the S2000 steering wheel.

The team was disqualified because their fuel tanks held 0.1% more fuel than they were allowed to? That’s ridiculous, because the tank’s capacity probably changes by more than that just due to thermal expansion.

My wife always complained that vans are lame and said she prefers trucks like her dad’s Suburban. I then proceeded to show her that a Grand Caravan has more space than a Suburban in almost all configurations, in addition to being cheaper/more fuel efficient/better riding.
