For all its faults, this was the best episode so far, and the first one to crack me up multiple times. On that note, it would be nice to retire the stupid celebrity dies carp already. Bring back the challenges, which was always the funniest thing, and more car news. The photography of the Italian countryside was…

I wouldn’t mind Amy Adams having her way with me under a tree while I enjoy a nice fat bacon sandwich. :-)

Don’t forget “in the middle of 5th Avenue!”

Very well put, indeed! The day is long overdue when the government of the United States puts the interests of the great majority of Americans above the self-interest of a handful of old Miami Cubans.

You can’t have imported cars anymore. That’s not how to make America great again!

Attractive, yes. But a sure bet it’ll still be wrong-wheel drive.

Two episodes in and I’m already regretting having started a Prime membership. And that second episode! Woof, that was way more powerful a sleeping aid than any of the Thanksgiving turkey. I’d like to chuck it to “growing pains” but heck, is not like these guys are rookies at this. It lacks the biting humor and story…

I’ve always loved 900 turbos, starting in my teens. Always thought when I grew up and got a real job I too could one day own “the most intelligent car ever built!” Alas, by the time I could own one Saab was a crappy GM-owned brand. But I digress; this car would make a perfect tool for teaching kids how to drive a…

This “not in America” thing is a real downer. Perhaps the Big Orange One can convince his seemingly close buddies at FoMoCo that “not in America” is not conducive to making America great again!

I’ll be damned! I always thought these things, well at least the ones I see around here in the U.S., were built on a (FWD) Focus platform, like the Escape. I stand happily corrected.

I read The Guardian as well. Neither The Guardian nor its readers have had any love for Obama since perhaps his early days. Soon enough they’ll look back on his years with bittersweet regret. 

The basic Civic in Sport trim already gets you 180hp/177lbs-ft with the manual, so I have to think the Si will have a “2" handle on both. That also gives you an idea of the tuning possibilities for the basic Civic.

Very much this!

I’ve never liked Caddy and even I really liked the looks of the ELR. You’re not alone, my friend.

Yes! Makes me miss my ‘76 Super Beettle.

Very true, indeed. Selfish me, though, I do not intend to ride in the back.

This is a great package, especially the power bump given VW’s skill in banishing torque steer compared to the rest of hot hatch manufacturers. But man, the Golf sheet metal is long overdue for a major overhaul. This chopped-butt look is way too dated. Something more along the lines of a FoST.FoRS or even the new Civic…

No, he’s going to outsource them to the same Chinese factory that makes his polyester suits, and make THEM pay for it!

So timely on election day - democracy in racing for the masses! In all seriousness, I love these poor man’s racing series. Affordable to many, and not likely to kill you with speed if you screw up.

As a banker, I concur. Every time I hear this “how much we owe them” BS it reminds me how little we understand this issue. This is the same situation as the pretro-dollars in the 80s. When a country runs a large trade surplus, like the Chinese do vs. the US, it drives the value of your currency higher, which would…
