My Voltec love is well documented. I've read most of the comments here and what's missing is discussion of the drive experience. Pretty wonderful, people. I highly recommend a spirited drive before commenting on the drivetrain. Smooth and torquey, with near-instant 275 lb/ft. Just floor it anytime - it's quicker…

I'm very saddened by this. My introduction to high performance driving was at a PCA Potomac clinic on the Jefferson Circuit. Needless to say, a very controlled environment. The respect, appreciation and admiration I have for my many excellent instructors from that point forward is hard to convey... amazing people,…

I too must call bullshit when you refer to the ELR or Volt as "bad" or "shitty" cars. I haven't driven an ELR, but after 16k in my Volt over a wide range of conditions I can tell you it's far from shitty. The quality of materials and assembly are right up there – as nice as any Lexus our family has owned. The…

True, and I should have clarified 25% of aircraft, not seats...

I've flown quite a few AA "Super" 80 flights in the last few years and wondered how many of them were still in service... 25% of the fleet!

Hideous. Easily the most ostentatious and tasteless in its class.

"Cadillac and Buick topped J. D. Power's customer satisfaction survey, which was released Wednesday. It was the first win for Cadillac, which unseated Lexus, which had topped luxury marques for five years. Buick led mainstream brands and was trailed by Chevrolet and GMC, which were also in the top five." THIS is…

Zac I'm very surprised that you (apparently) live in SoCal and don't know about or listen to KCRW Santa Monica – easily one of the best and most influential music stations in the US. Take a look at this (especially section 3) and give it a try. FM reception is a sonic disaster in any moving vehicle with fidelity, so…

good thing you didn't need to stop quickly...

Be careful in DC. I was cited for no front plate on a VA registered car while legally parked.

I live in PS and have yet to see one. But then, I'm constantly distracted by the awesome cars you see here every single day. Most recent example pictured. Yes I'm an awful photographer (while driving or not) but this Cunningham was unbelievably perfect, absolutely stunning. Trust me.

Get the Volt; you'll love as much as the rest of us. I was intrigued by the technology but bought mine more for the way it drives. The smooth, torque-on-rails power is very satisfying and more than adequate. It's a point-and-shoot master in traffic and a comfortable highway cruiser that pulls confidently and…

Well I hope they tighten up the sloppy drivetrain. I rented one last weekend ('13 with 13k) and overall the car was pretty nice, but requests for power were usually met with hesitation and a confused transaxle. I tried manu-shifting but that didn't help much since the response was so delayed. The hesitation felt like…

I flew Eastern from SEA to ATL that very evening. About an hour before scheduled arrival, we descended and slowed significantly - very noticeable. The cabin crew appeared and offered complimentary everything (cocktails, yes!) for the rest of the flight. The Captain explained as we taxied to the gate...

Seriously. At first I was impressed by a TPMS on an '01 Grand Am. Then I considered the odds that a tire is actually low.

Base model maybe, but a Cutlass S was far from "stripped" in 1974. It was lighter than its velour-lavished sibs but still well equipped. I bought mine with 40k mi in '78, (gas crisis pricing). It had a (pre-complete strangulation) rocket 350, 4x1, 180/275. One of the best cars I have ever owned, seriously. …

rarely I think, but let's ask this guy...

That chrome is indefensibly tacky but the Verano is pretty competitive otherwise, from what I've read.

They are, however, marginally useful when your A pillars are the size of your calves...

In 99 I went with the Boxster. I ordered one at around 50k and they (eventually) delivered an amazing car I loved for 14 years. I see the level of customization available with Porsche a very cool thing, budget permitting.
