Genesis Coupes. Perhaps “garbage car” is a bit too harsh against it since it wasn’t a BAD car, but it was far from being a major success like the FRS/BRZ twins. And that’s a shame really, because it’s one of few moments when an automaker truly followed through to what people said they wanted. You say you want a turbo

Wait, if #3 isn’t a Lancia, what is it?

Seeing a lot of domestic airports for a request for the “worst airports in the world”. Are they really that bad though? Personally, though I’ve been to LAX, LHR, and CDG, there’s only one airport I cannot get over for really truly being that bad. That’d be MNL, or Ninoy Aquino International Airport (aka Manila

Nevermind the power wars, I miss the variety.

I'm pretty excited to see a Passat sliding around in Formula D. The US Formula D (pro level) is almost a coupe-exclusive affair and it'll be nice to see more larger sedans sliding around like the other drifting series. Off the top of my head, there's only a couple of sedans that has ever really competed in FD.

Certain areas can leave you crawling for hours and we have zero patience for slow, timid, confused drivers, but overall Cali traffic is pretty exaggerated. If you want to see TRUELY bad traffic, go to somewhere beyond 1st world western civilizations, like the Philippines. Spend some time driving there and you'll have

A teal Eagle based off of a Mitsubishi Eclipse.

A E39 540i 6spd would have been my first answer, but since that's been covered already, how about a Foxbody 5.0? Preferably notch-back (which I'm only finding just above 8k) but for cheap reliable power on a platform with some potential, a clean one is pretty hard to ignore. Plus the aftermarket support is immense and

"There is no volume manufacturer that does well in the US and Europe."

Jeep Grand Cherokee has the same thing going on as well. It may have something to do with part-sharing among other models or setting the car up to make future face-lifts easier, but IMO it just looks like they got lazy.

And Subaru

A friend of mine had a 2nd gen 4Runner which have the rear window AND tailgate combination which is still to this day my favorite rear configuration for any hatch/wagon/SUV. I think these 4Runners were the only vehicles this side of the 80's I've seen with such features.

Boy that color scheme looks familiar...

Most of my favorite cars that can wear red (a color that I usually dislike) are Japanese.

Here ya go

Blue sedan w/spoiler, gotcha

Now I kinda wish someone could make a game with these little guys.

Hey Don, with the new Mirage sedan that you mentioned Mitsubishi is focusing on, should we expect an alternative-powertrain option to go with it? Whether that be hybrid or full electric? If not, should we expect Mitsubishi to offer a new all EV car (other than the i-MiEV) similar to say the Nissan Leaf? Maybe a

Sometimes an exhaust that's a little more vocal isn't a bad thing. Some cars like an E36 M3 or 911 are pretty nice when you can get that little "gurgle" when you blip the throttle. But definitely agree loud sound ≠ better sound. E46 with titanium straight pipes can sound pretty trashy and most aftermarket exhausts for
