9 out of 10 dentists recommend not putting your Z06 in the ditch.

It is funny how we desire what we can't have. Many of us Americans yearn for the rolling VW history that you have in Brazil. We still have an odd affinity for old design and tech. A Kombi would be fun in theory, but possibly not in reality.

Perhaps the other answer is that I'm actually old and because of that fact, Corvettes now appeal to me.

If your other car is a Suburban this car will baby just fine.

I'm a recovering car snob. I used to believe deep down that the world's best cars come from Germany. The C7 is helping to change that notion. A 911 it is not, but it is so awesome in its own corn fed, American bred sort of way.

In some situations, but we're not there yet. You're pushing the envelope and there isn't any substantiation of your point to be found.

I stand by my assertion which was based on deductive reasoning, not an assumption.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that the incorrect use of render is accepted vernacular. It is just a common mistake that some people have gotten used to.

The point is that render in this context, is incorrectly used as a noun.

Render is a verb, whereas a rendering is a noun.

"So maybe my renders are still less than realistic, but a Colorado with a GMC face is pretty much what I expect to see when the cover comes off the Canyon at the Detroit Auto Show 5:15 PM on January 12."

At first glance I was going to criticize GMC photography, but to read it was a rendering puts my mind at ease.

I'm not defending bad HDR, but I don't think you fully understand it, which is why you're so critical of it.

While it was relatively simple compared to a current model year car, there was enough inside and under the hood to break. My point is that even given the relative simplicity, it was reliable despite the Ford badge. I think you're casting an unfair shadow on Ford and their new rides.

No, I smelled what you were cooking. The example below, I'd have to assume is, a) more costly, b) more complicated and c) doesn't offer an advantage that outweighs a or b. Even if it would make it a decidedly better piece of kit, I am not sure we'll see this evolution on the 2015.

HDR by nature ends up being an art form of its own, subject to interpretations and judgment separate from standard photography. That said, most "stunning" HDR is a result of overcooked saturation.

The F-150 has never really pushed the boundaries of tech and engineering. Honda's attempt at playing in the truck marketplace hasn't been a resounding success. While FWD-based drivetrains, integrated beds and 4-Wheel independent suspension may suit the needs of 90% of F-150 buyers, that isn't what sells right now.

By modern standards it wasn't a high-tech car. However, by standards of the time it was on par with any Civic or Corolla. However, few of these remain on the road. Most seem to have met their fate with the crusher. While domestics weren't building cars of the same high level of quality as their Japanese counterparts,…

Perhaps I'm an atypical customer of many "notoriously self-destructive" models and brands, but I've owned a few cars that would fall into the category you reference and have never been let down by premature failures. I include Ford in this statement. I owned a mid-90s Escort that provided reliable service comparable…

Well, I don't see F-150 sales dominance subsiding any time soon. Ford may not always make the best decisions, but they do covet the F-150 and its value to their brand.
