is it a hatchback? it looks more like a tall sedan that happens to have a hatch... an S(edan)UV

The headlights may suck, but I think the fact that VW is putting their R badge everywhere nowadays is the real crime.

But what does it look like with the plastic fender guards on it?

My longest commute (day) is the exact same day you’re talking about! I left work around 5pm in downtown Detroit (I worked at the advertising agency that advertised for Chevrolet at the time) and headed towards Dearborn where I lived. As the rain came down hard the water in the freeway started to rise, and they started…

I’m glad you got the gist of my post

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: EV’s are the way that supercars die. I think in the future it will be so simple to get crazy power out of just about any car that it will level the playing field, and make going stupid quick affordable.

I *plan* on keeping my current car for a long time. I’ve bought a new (to me) car every 3-5 years for the past 12 years, but I think I’ve got one now I’d like to stick with. As long as I keep up on maintenance it should keep on ticking... it is a high strung turbo though so time will tell. 

If the regular STI was a bit closer to this car, I probably would have bought one over a Focus RS. I like sedans better, I like the looks of the STI better. I like the “idea” of the STI, and the STI is a bit more practical with its large trunk... but its power band is short lived, and it didn’t feel all that much more…

This person doesn’t sound like much of a friend. He crashes his buddy’s awesome car, then sues him for it being too awesome. Kevin, I hope you win this thing and find better friends. I also hope Dwayne the Rock Johnson escorts you to the trial and just stands there, staring at the guy suing you with his eyebrow up.

not off center badging, but off center hood bump:

Focus RS? No, you couldn’t lease... and yes it is stick... but its well within your price range. They only made them for 3 years so they’re unique. The suspension isn’t super comfortable, but you and your 3 to 4 passengers will feel comfortable with you tossing it into a corner at speed! Plus it’s a hatchback for…

based on their truck price, its more like 7 billion... but I’m assuming they got some sort of discount... right?

if you drive it in the real world for a while... how do its real world MPGs compare to the GT’s real world MPGs? if they’re not that much better than the V8, then my next question would be are the handling improvements over the base V8 good enough to not get the V8?

1. what is the price?

You know what it has more power than? Both the Golf R and the WRX STI, cars that we all consider very capable and very fast performance machines. It is also only 25HP down on the Focus RS, which everyone thinks is amazing and high powered. I say this has less to do with “low” numbers, and more to do with how far…

I really did not! It’s shocking, but then again I like the other movies so I shouldn’t be that surprised.

The modifications to the Model S that are mentioned in the article are minimal, and if they needed to they could release a “Nurburgring Edition” of the Model S to sell even more cars (which could be what they’re doing anyway) once this is all said and done. Heck, they could even tap into nostalgia and call it the…

Fast and Furious 4? Tokyo Drift is “technically” #6

I forgot to check back on the comment until right now... so kinda?

this would be better if it was popcorn, i didn’t realize this many people would respond
