I’m surprised there hasn’t been a Shakespearean porn parody called Much Ado About Nuttin’ as it seems so... well, obvious.

Wow, this thing is a war crime on the eyes.

I agree the Bolt is ugly on the outside, but if I was in the market I would buy this over the 3 in a heartbeat, both because it has more interior room/storage and because it has a more traditional interior with an actual instrument cluster and whatnot.

GM isn’t ready? I’ll admit I haven’t driven one of their EVs, but IIRC even the first-gen Volt was praised by the automotive press. So if you include both gens of Volts as EVs (which I would, as you can get pretty decent mileage on just electric) then this is the 3rd EV they’ve mass-produced. 4th if you count the EV1.…

My thoughts exactly. The bodykit is downgrade, IMO, and I was surprised the car doesn’t make more power with the supercharger and other upgrades. Not to mention, the stock engine would make more than enough torque for my needs (and I’d prefer a stick). CP all day for me.

My guess is this is an issue with the Revenge bodykit, not the original GM panels.

You definitely can install your own cage and my (possibly incorrect) interpretation was that it would only be banned if the owner didn’t take all the necessary steps to make it a NHRA legal 9 second car. Having said that, it’s hard to tell based on this article’s vague statement. I wish the author had been more…

Unfortunately, I don’t think it will ever happen, or it will be decades down the line and probably not nearly as fast as we’d hoped. I live in Las Vegas and I know they’ve been bouncing around ideas for years, but nothing ever happens. And the funny thing is, I can’t think of a better case for a bullet train than the…

I drove a Kia Optima on a long business trip a few years ago and I was extremely impressed. If I was considering purchasing a midsized sedan it would be on my list.

Have you seen one in person? Also, are you referring to the Jetta/GLI only, or all newish VWs? I wasn’t a fan either, but after seeing several up close on a car lot I changed my mind completely and I love the understated styling. Of course, I still ended up buying a Mustang...

That’s a really good looking row of cars. I’d love to drive one of these older VWs.

Indeed. I was thinking this guy was probably just adding up numbers on what he thinks the equivalent PC components are, which is a bullshit analysis.

Beats and Bose are the examples you’re going to use? Ok... I certainly hope Scorpio’s not going to be as massively expensive and underperforming as either of those headphone brands.

True dat, but even if you have a mechanic do the work this is still NP by a large margin, IMO.

...many doctors have turned to having patients interact with Toyota’s online model configurator as treatment for insomnia. One of the major benefits is that it’s non-addictive.

IMO, even if there was a deeper problem and you had to put a junk-yard engine in it, it would still be a good deal. If I still lived in the midwest and was in the market for one of these I would be all over this one. NP.

As the owner of a Toyota product that I’ve put 120k miles on since new (albeit a lowly Scion tC) I will say that in my limited anecdotal experience, Toyota reliability & engineering isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

...and it made 271 RWHP and 260 TQ...

Not to mention, most people don’t have access to a track or anywhere else where they can safely and legally make the most of all that power, suspension and brakes. We’ve all gotten caught up in the massive numbers games, but how many of us make it out to a track on a regular basis to make the extra investment in an…

Indeed, I think a lot of people are forgetting that it’s not a $40k car after you take into account dealer markups. Also, the RS’s AWD system looks awesome, but I would imagine that that combined with the huge brakes and all the other super go-fast goodies will lead to very expensive maintenance down the road.
