Cars, especially American cars, in the US are ridiculously cheap compared to the UK. I'm amazed every time I see a review criticizing the Chrysler 300C for being a poor quality pile of crap - but when you consider the car is 13,000 gbp more expensive in the UK (and we also have the Charger, which is ~4,000 gbp cheaper…

It looks like this will also be the debut of the 3.2L version of the Pentastar. 270 HP, 4500 lb tow rating, not bad (especially for a crossover!).

It does seem a bit odd that it took the NHTSA 20 years to collect enough complaints and complete their investigation, especially considering the sheer number of these things produced. Didn't GM already try to absolve itself of any responsibility for the actions of "Old" GM? Perhaps Chrysler's bankruptcy was structured…

No exhaust?

M3 horsepower with M5 weight and an automatic transmission for 75% of the cost of an M3? I'll take an ATS-V

class-leading fuel economy

Sorry if my point wasn't clear - I was just trying to say it's a bad idea, but they've done it before. Maybe if Lincoln was on a roll right now, I'd be inclined to think they wouldn't do it again, but they do seem pretty desperate...

Well, it doesn't seem to be THAT much of a stretch - the current Mustang has an almost identical wheelbase to the 11th generation Thunderbird 2-seater, and that platform was also used under the Lincoln LS / Jaguar S-type/XF. However, the Thunderbird was much more of a boulevard cruiser than the Mustang, and my guess…

I would agree with you... if I could find one with a manual transmission. A quick jaunt on craigslist found ONE 128i with a stick and no manual 135i

It's a pretty good roadtrip car - when I moved from NY to TX, I did the trip in a '92 wagon - while towing a Miata! The seats are perfect for it - just like a couch, and the engine is barely turning over the whole time. The only problems are marginal fuel economy (I almost never broke 20 on the highway with regular…

My gauge reads empty around 12, so that's usually where I fuel up... 21 mpg highway is with the 5 speed.

I've done 500 miles in 2 days in my Miata, and it really wasn't bad. Perfect weather so the top was down the whole way. It felt a lot less fatiguing than the same trip would have with a roof over my head.

Yeah, about 17 city, 21 highway or so and the tank isn't all that big, so you are stopping a lot. But it's only been recently that larger cars have pushed into the realm of 30+ on the highway, and smaller cars just aren't as good for road-trips. I have seen claims of mid to upper 20s out of some of the earlier cars…

Yeah - that's the best road trip car I own anyway. Very solid chassis, decent noise isolation, excellent high speed manners (although I think mine has a 3.64 rear end, so the revs are a bit high at speed), great seats, cruise control, dual a/c, a huge trunk and if you manage to find a twisty road, you can easily…

Who needs a 5 series GT competitor when you have a CTS-V wagon?

After skimming that BI article - this author seems a bit out of date - "The weird and amazingly annoying thing is how often – in the present day – power windows, air conditioning, and a car stereo qualify for extra costs above base model" - I'm not sure if there are actually any cars you can buy today with crank…

1) No screaming

I think I may have had #5 while growing up - and seeing that again reminded me of a similar game that I definitely remember having - Sega Video Driver (or something like that). Basically, a VHS based game with a sensor bar with a mechanized car on it that you would hang on your tv. It would play a video of a car…

I see this complaint a lot, but when I'm on a large highway with suburbans and jacked up trucks running offroad tires that are taller than the sills on my Miata, having the windows rolled up keeps my eardrums intact.

Are these the same cars they ran in 2012? (besides the F-types of course). It is nice to see Jaguar taking an interest in their history.
