The guy is wrong. There's no "type"... all women are "dream killers." That's how it's supposed to be. Why do you think kitchen cabinets cost more then crate engines or rifles or vintage motorcycles? The world has been aware of this fact for about 15 thousand years.

@stöke, booth ho-fessional: I'm sure he's feeling AWESOME right now about the jeep and her nagging can only improve the situation.

@frogberg: Really? All I hear is "I'll eat your babies and set your house on fire!"

Maybe she realizes that 650 NA hp is only a cam and valvespring change away on the LS7 and she's condemning American emission standards?

@TexanIdiot25 - can't heel-toe downshift with big feet: You are certainly living up to your screen name.

@sixtwo: So the observation you're making is that these cars aren't profitable so we should celebrate while we can lest these companies try to emulate their industry leaders?

@my favorite car is a motorcycle: "In 2010 Chevy sold 82,000 Camaros while Toyota sold 297,000 random-accelerating Camrys"

@jedchev: The mustang is the only stick axle in the crowd and it's vastly superior dynamically.

@tяs: You make it sound nefarious. I'm just worried about y'know... safety and stuff.

@owen-magnetic: In 2011 America, all dialog is between sheeple in all caps... or on less then eloquent bumper stickers.

OP, R-ING FULL SET PLOX

I was going to buy a V70XC next year, I just needed to get my wife knocked up first.

@Bueller: If I wanted a bunch of opinions, bias, half truths, and conjecture, I'd read the Economist. If you're going to talk about the industry, talk in industry terms.

@owen-magnetic: It may be legislators working in concert with extremists, but try to swap an engine in california or register a home built car like a cobra or 32 Ford. Also, by my definition, any aftermarket modification makes you an enthusiast. They were/are trying to pass legislation to make your car's computer an…

@Bueller: November '10 production figures show about 6000 units of the SRX and 10,000 units of CX-7.

@wkiernan: I agree with you (and still live on the Cuyahoga (which stinks because of Akron's sewage non-compliance). It'd be a beautiful river to canoe but it's a stench pit as it is. I can't imagine what it was like with the tire companies dumping god knows what in it.

@Bueller: Define "sells quite well" with a unit of measure like annual or monthly sales.

@ferric oxide: Make mine the coveted XFI in that teal/greenish color.

My prediction is $4+ a gallon gas this summer and I'm looking forward to the advent of the efficiency enthusiast. Watching Edison2 compete for the X-prize has really got me thinking.

@tonyola: SEMA was worried about this trend as well. Personally, I think that there's been an auto-bubble the last few years (look at barret jackson) and it's just finding it's level. When I was a kid (late 80's early 90's), there were relatively few of us true gearheads who'd actually put the bearings in the engines…
