Sure, the 6 is sporty compared to a 90s Camry, but it hardly stands up to modern sedans that try to be sporty.  Drive a 6 after driving a WRX and the 6 feels like Grandma’s Buick.

yea I mean... it’s a good deal of a ride.

I have really enjoyed my 2017 Touring manual with the NA 2.5L Skyactiv engine. The engine is kind of coarse and isn’t totally satisfying to wring out, but the car just seems to come alive on a back road. It also passes the “look back” test.

How in the world a used FWD midsize is the best sedan you can get for $25K ?

This is proper praise for a true driver’s car. Sadly, most manufacturers are focused on their newest golden goose with crossovers. I am glad to see that Ford is offering a track-focused V8 that’s only offered with a manual gearbox. You do not see many cars like this anymore and I do believe that they will become rarer…

This is like a return to Jalopnik around 2006. Which is to say: well done. Awesome. Love everything about it.

Yeah, but they’ll blame the Mexicans and Hillary’s emails somehow. 

This is someone who, in all seriousness, wanted to buy Greenland from the Danes.  He and his administration are borderline psychotic.

First thing to understand is that Trump is here to sabotage, not protect, America. Everything he does is directed by Putin to:

Well those savings better be huge, because it means they are getting zero of my money now. Been eyeing M2C, used 997.2, 981 Cayman, all with 3 pedals. Was waiting for final details on the Supra before making a choice. I find the new Supra far more appealing than an M2, but a manual is a must. It’s off the list. I’m…

Needs more pedals not more power.

Okay, let me make this clear. You can currently go to a VW dealer and get a WAGON with a MANUAL TRANSMISSION with a 6-year 72,000-mile warranty. Do it now or you will forever lose your right to complain about how there are no wagons and no manual transmissions.

I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to drive around with a baby and no car seat. I don’t condone crimes. 

Another article on the internet about Millenias. I get it, they can’t find jobs, buy homes or get out of debt.

Uh but.... The engine itself without a blower doesn’t make 855hp does it? It makes around 500hp tops, and the blower adds the additional 255hp right? Isn’t that how it works?

“It makes 755 HP from the LT5 engine, whose supercharger consumes about 100 HP at full boost. “So,” Lee said, “our engine is really making 855 HP at the crank, since 100 HP is used to drive the supercharger.”

Have they mentioned what the annual fee will be to unlock the shifter?  Can I pay a flat rate at purchase to keep the shifter unlocked?

It’s still newer than the Nissan Z. Might as well just put it back on the market. 

Mary Roach’s book “Packing for Mars” has an entire chapter on the problems with crapping in space, and a ton of cool info from the Apollo program. Spoiler - zero gravity makes it like 100x more difficult. For anyone remotely interested in space travel, this book is a 100% must read. Informative and hilarious. Turns…
