I remember the Talon quite well, considering my little brother owned one. (Turbocharged, natch.) Two of my best friends had Eclipses of the same era. (Also turbocharged.) Honestly, there's not much difference between the two, certainly not in terms of driving characteristics. The modern equivalent would be a BRZ vs.

"Most BMW / Lexus / Mercedes buyers buy for the badge and whatever dose of instant perceived status they get depending on the model, knowing that they'll get a well built car that drives well thrown in even if they can't appreciate it."

Okay, really? You don't think the automakers would jump on it in a heartbeat if they thought there was any niche being ignored in the marketplace? Ford and GM in particular are the masters of truck development and marketing. But hey, apparently you know better than their product managers what people are and aren't

Okay, good point. I missed the part where the entire U-Haul was taken.

The lot's not liable. It's standard for privately owned lots to include disclaimers, printed both on entry tickets and at various locations in a lot, that they cannot be held liable for items stolen from a car (or, in this case, a trailer), and they recommend securing any belongings inside them.

Musk's comments about the truck came after he was asked whether Tesla would ever make a fleet truck for the likes of FedEx or UPS. He said that, yes, Tesla was planning to make a truck, but not a commercial one, because the market opportunity for commercial trucks is much smaller. Musk said the Tesla truck would be

Those trucks disappeared, as did most mid-sized trucks, because the market shifted and no one really wants anything but full-size trucks anymore.

I've never driven an '80s-era 6-series, but I've driven a 535i with the same engine. I can assure you that it is not "wheezy" in any context of the term.

I can't speak for Canada, but here in the U.S. you see quite a few of them in major urban areas in full pimp regalia. Moreover, you might be shocked what they're selling for - not enough to make this particular crack-pipe list, but certainly higher than anyone who assumed that Hummers are now somehow persona non grata

Finally, some sanity. As for the RX-7: she turned out to be one of the girls who maintains her looks immensely well, but under the surface is consistently a high-maintenance, high-dollar mess.

"I won't say you're wrong, we all have different opinions — but to me the Supra was merely a standout during the worst period for sports cars in history."

To quote your own article: "Conscientious objection laws provide some protection to some providers who conscientiously object to some procedures under some circumstances. Exactly what grounds for refusal qualify for conscientious objection is often unclear."

"Wait, you are saying that in Texas they issue warrants that state that any medical professional that the police choose is legally obligated to perform a blood draw on the suspect?"

"Doctors can refuse on ethical grounds."

a) Doctors aren't lawyers.

"Doctors refusing to carry out a procedure they deem unethical is not "obstruction of justice"."

I'm sorry, but comparing any modern-day American police department to the Gestapo (and yes, I realize that they did not literally work at "the camps") is as intellectually faulty as calling Obama a "communist." Both are extreme, yet inaccurate, descriptions aimed solely to get people riled up.

Regrettably, it looks too much like another Japanese convertible out there.

They're writers who work on a FT basis and are assigned to cover industry sectors. Regardless of medium, I think that fits the definition of professional journalist circa 2013.

Um, where did I disagree with any of this? The whole thing was unconstitutional - that's my point.
