I see that, but I'm talking about the Alfas of the past decade or so. Clarkson and Co. keep talking about passion and driving dynamics and things, but given the choice between FWD and RWD German cars, why choose Alfa? I'm not saying you can't have a great FWD car, but when you're talking about compact executive…

I'm not even comparing them to muscle cars, I'm comparing their power output to V6 Camrys and Accords.

what's the big deal about Alfa sedans? Top Gear UK talks about them being full of passion and all that crap, but to me they don't look that great and they're all underpowered and FWD

even Germans don't know how to hold their phone horizontal?

fuck these pigs

how did a Jalop get taken by a dealer so far up the ass like that? I guess we're not all as savvy as I thought.

while I'm sure there are new car dealers that will do that, I think any reputable stealership would go through a few more checks than that considering they usually offer limited warranties and whatnot on their used cars

all good advice. though a lot of these mainly apply only if you buy a used car in a private sale or from some shady used car lot.
I'm not one to say anything good about stealerships but if you get a used car from a dealer (dealers tend to keep the better used trade-ins to sell themselves and dump off the crappy ones…

edit... nvm. nice trio of brands to have at a single dealership

that's why every car I've bought thus far has been far away from NYC (even though I live in Brooklyn). Long Island, south Jersey, Albany.

to be fair, the same can basically be said about any other action movie ever. ridiculousness is expected. my personal favorite is when someone is thrown out a plane and then the hero jumps after them a minute or more later and is somehow able to catch up with them in midair to save them

I actually liked the looks of the second gen Solara, I though it was almost like a poor man's Lexus SC430 (which I also liked, despite Top Gear calling it the worst car of all time). only thing that would stop me from ever having one is the front drive. but it was basically Toyota's take on the personal luxury coupe.

fuck stealerships. any time some jerkoff comes on here or anywhere else and says "dealerships need to make a profit too" or "you have no problem with a supermarket making a profit on groceries but a dealership can't make a buck?" I say fuck them. this is the kind of bullshit that gives stealerships their deserved bad…

the Russian spec Camry and Corolla look different than ours, I know that much, looking at Russia's Toyota site. but they don't look the way that Toyota does. it looks like it might be a grey market import from Japan or elsewhere. there's a lot of that in Russia when I was there.

that's my one gripe with this game is that they got a Korean to play a Hong Kong Chinese person. to outsiders and to people who identify as "Asian" maybe they don't get it, but as someone who is of Hong Kong Chinese descent this was kind of a slap in the face.

you mean Chinese-American. I'm sure people of other Asian descent wouldn't understand the Cantonese that's spoken in the game as well as some of the other things that are Chinese- or even Hong Kong specific.

that Camry totally stayed grounded to the ground
