Why is this article showing up at the top Jalopnik tab if its an article from 5 years ago. Mark Fields isn’t even working at Ford anymore. Get it together Jalopnik!

You can typically deduct a larger portion (if not all of) the lease payment for tax purposes on a business vs what you can if you purchase it. If you purchase a vehicle, you can only deduct based on a fixed maximum depreciation schedule which for must luxury cars is less than the lease rates. That’s why you see many…

Logistically it makes more sense to have Portland before Sonoma. Think about it, you have to transport the cars and all the equipment from St. Louis to Portland to Sonoma as opposed to St. Louis to Upstate NY to Portland. That’s driving across the entire US just to race at Watkins. I would have pushed Portland a week…

Can it be dragoned?

I would have guessed Siracha to be much higher. Especially higher than cholula or tapatio.

I’m pretty sure there is some sort of Tesla / Daimler partnership / agreement / investment in the background. If you’ve ever sat in a Model S, you’ll recognize a lot of the switch gear is from Mercedes vehicles. For instance, the Model S shifter is the same part as the one in my ML350. MB may have granted Tesla…

I’m pretty sure what you’re describing is the Atkinson cycle. The Miller cycle is when you combine the Atkinson cycle with a supercharger to drive more air into the cylinder while keeping the intake valve open on the upstroke of the compression stroke.

Traitors!! Joest Racing not running a Porsche or Audi is sacrilege!!!!!

My guess is if its Aston, it will be a rebadged Mercedes powerplant. Aston and Mercedes are already collaborating on their road / track car and Horner as already expressed interest in being a customer for Mercedes engines when trying to get out of his Renault deal.

DD would be stupid to not swoop in and take over the sponsorship of Suarez’s car. Would be a major marketing coup!!

CRACK-PIPE!! I love the GTI (I had an ‘87 myself) but at this price, this should really be the 16 valve version. $12k for the 8v with barely 100 hp is highway robbery.

QUIT CALLING THE GT-R THE BENCHMARK. ITS NOT!

I’ve seen this same car parked at the body shop next to my office. Where did you see it?

A 928 without phone dials is no 928.

Curious as to how they charged him with “felony count of reckless driving causing serious impairment of bodily function”. Couldn’t he just say he swerved and lost cotrol avoiding a deer that jumped across the road. Accidents happen and there is still burden of proof to charge him for something reckless. UNLESS…

The previous generation 911!!

No it isn’t...if there is a benchmark..its the Porsche 911. That’s what all other sports cars target when developing their new one.

North Korean Hackers.......just sayin’

Actually..the first ones were manual only and the auto was only an option a couple of years after. The story was that the engine had too much torque for the fwd auto tranny in the stock Taurus. I had one back in 1991. Awesome car...I put 17" wheels on it and a small lip spoiler on the trunk...totally changed the…

Austin Cindric races for Brad Keselowski, Austin’s dad, Tim Cindric runs Penske’s racing operations. Brad races for Penske......
