I'm going to venture a guess and say that you learned from someone who demonstrated a kind of dog-paddle motion in the air and said "just do this."

The dog-paddle is the single worst way to teach someone how to drive a manual transmission, and results in uncountable stalls, "bucking broncos," and frustrated students. …

It takes all of twenty minutes to learn...did no one think to teach him?

Next thing to learn: changing your own oil.

That's glorious!

It looks best on simple wheels, like steelies:

Sweet! A concept rocking black steelies!

Automakers: we don't want steering that can go artificially light for "comfort" or artificially heavy for "sport." We also don't want a steering ratio that is constantly changing, either – just give us one good setting.

Sigh, okay, we'll play the shifted frame of reference game, but a curve is a curve. WHP charts show the BRZ getting about 170 hp at the 7k mark, and about 130 hp at the 5k mark.

Okay, Mitsubishi, we get it, your truck has wheels. They don't need all this fanfare.

Tall butt + jowly fender vents = fat saggy shapeless mess.

If you ask me whether I'd want to shed 20% of a car's weight or increase it's power by 20%, I'd choose the weight loss every time. If you start with a 3,000 pound car with 150 hp, you could have a 2,400 pound car with 150 hp, or a 3,000 pound car with 180 hp.

All the power curves I see put it at 140hp or less at 5,000 rpm.

Less mass than before, too!

Now it looks like all the concept car sketches where the artist forgot to give the car mirrors...at least it's not also driving on 30" wheels through 20" of fog.

356 horsepower at 10,300 rpm is exactly what this car doesn't need. I drove one, and came away wishing it had 170 h at 5,000 rpm instead of 200 at 7,000. Winding a 2,700 pound car to 7,000 rpm is fun and all, but I'd rather have power a couple thousand rpm closer to where I use the engine most.

Longer range for hypermiling!

In fact, it's one of the best looking cars to come from Korea yet.

See many K90os? Didn't think so. There's a brown one down the road from me, street parked, and it is stunning. The K900 is going to be our generation's Datsun 810...an anomalous upscale luxury option from the upstart economy importer.

The 5 Series GT is heavier than the wagon, has less utility, and costs more. It will always be reviled.
