I thought it was Memphis Raines, but maybe I’m misremembering.

The next Silverado commercial:

There’s a show that’s basically exactly that. It’s called Cuban Chrome, and it’s on Discovery Channel.

For all those people who lament the new Miata looking mean instead of cute, this could deliver on the cuteness if they use a similar front end to the 500, or to the original 124.

If it needs more power but people are shooting down the idea of a turbo because they want NA throttle response, why not use their H6 from the Legacy, and maybe downsize it to 3.0l? That would provide the necessary torque and probably wouldn’t screw up the weight distribution too badly. And since the BRZ is a…

Wouldn’t be surprised. Also, Go Bears!

This response is shockingly ignorant, offensive, and wrongheaded. It’s highly likely (if you’re American) that some of your ancestors immigrated from another country, faced a language barrier, and worked blue-collar jobs in poor neighborhoods. Your lack of empathy astounds me.

Dart SRT is on the way, in 2016 or 2017 I believe.

For me, it’s the blue and silver BMW M3 GTR that was the hero car in the original NFS Most Wanted (and the very beginning of NFS Carbon). A BMW with side exhausts? Fuck yeah. The thing is an icon.

It’s also worth noting that Nissan sold a bunch of refurbished 240zs in dealerships between the end of the Z32 gen (1997) and the start of the Z33 (2002).

I wonder if it’s a factor of the difference between “sports” and “performance” cars. Sports cars are more about the driving experience, while performance cars, it seems to me, are more about sheer numbers. So by that definition, the Toyobaru isn’t a “performance” car (it gets smoked by V6-equipped minivans in a…

With regards to the diversity thing, isn’t the point of the joke that at this juncture, when the Republican field is rather diverse and the AOTD aren’t?

Dang guy, who pissed in your Cheerios this morning? Ballaban is absolutely correct here.

Very much on the same page with you here. Unfortunately, it seems like Acura is becoming more of a tech-focused luxury brand for Honda, rather than pushing a slightly more upmarket driver’s car, as they have in the past.

Amazing that with all the cost-cutting measures out of Munich these days, turn signals are no longer available on BMWs, while in Dearborn, the Mustang lets everyone know it’s turning—even its driver!

It’s not fictional! Didn’t have a particularly long racing career, but there were some homologation special road-legal M3 GTRs produced.

Those wheels. Hnggggggggg.

Preach. Loved how the hero car was a compact BMW coupe and at the end of the game you’d be up against Murcielagos and Carrera GTs.

And how about the 944s with I4s of 2.5, 2.7, and even 3.0 liters? Still blows my mind they put an I4 that large into a passenger car.
