A bit of perspective: This NA motor has more HP than the GD WRX (less torque though), but weighs around 200lbs less, and is RWD so less drivetrain loss. This should be quite fun to toss around.

Glad they turned back the crazy dial on some of their design parameters.

If the word Yikes were a car, this would be it.

Looks like a Ford GT had sex with an NSX.

For Hawaii, the answer is always Tacoma.

While they may drop the Mazdaspeed moniker, I am willing to bet, in their upmarket journey, they will have a more subtle name for performance-oriented models in the future. Like the BMW M badge, the Audi RS lines, etc, I could see Mazda coming up with a hot version of their products and slapping on some alphanumeric…

There is no justification for sponsoring any sporting or entertainment event in places like KSA. By accepting that check, you are complicit, knowing full well that people are murdered by the government for being who they are. There is no "but." The memes on r/formuladank are pretty good indicators of the hypocrisy of…

The same goes for motorcycles. My aggressive riding days are long gone, and quite frankly I don’t want a bike that looks “mean” or conveys to others a willingness or propensity to ride like an asshole. I want a bike that will get me to the office and grocery store on the side streets with my milk crate on the back.…

I’m team minivan. Honda Odyssey or Toyota Sienna are the easy choices, the Chrysler Pacifica might be in the running if you find a clean and well maintained example. Fold down or remove the 3rd row and have enough room for anything. AWD for the winters. Comfortable, great visibility, and easy to get in and out. Hard…

The V-Strom will always be better than this. 

I’m partial to Bathroom McBathroomface, or my close runnerup, Harry Potty.

“To start, carbon fiber has to be laid up by hand...”

Every car ad I see that says it’s a manual but does not have a 3rd pedal, I report as spam/prohibited/etc, because fuck them for wasting my time, and they do it on purpose.

There are so many better crossovers than a Tiguan, that anyone buying a Tiguan needs to be evaluated for traumatic brain injury.

The manual commuter car is dead

Having a car that I can, with 99.7% confidence, rely on to never break down, is extremely interesting to me as I get older. I’ve already done enough wrenching in my life to realize I’d rather be doing literally anything else with my free time. Toyota and other lean companies sell reliability, and that’s why they win…

I test drove a Bolt and loved everything about it except the seats. My God, the seats are fucking trash. Thin, flexible, no bolstering, and kind of weird positions for me, and I’m not that big of a guy. Aside from that, it was a hoot to drive with the immediate torque, zipping around like a go cart on the side roads.

Rectangular...grille...2020...does not compute...

Zack and Ari are legit. I’ve been watching their shit for years and they both are very competent on the track, many orders of magnitude more than us knuckle draggers. If it were average riders or commuters, then I would agree, but these guys ain’t that, chief.

lol fuck detroit.
