Sig and Keith,

No, I didn't. I really want the V7 Cafe Racer in the picture; I like the vintage-y looks. It's the hipster in me, I guess. But every time I start to semi-seriously think about getting one, my enthusiasm is generally tempered by the honest realization that I pretty much suck at riding, and I probably shouldn't…

I think you guys do a very good job of coverage, both in TMS and in general. I've appreciated the additional motorsports and motorcycle coverage, and I enjoy the historical articles like the Rolls-Royce article yesterday, as well as the stories that aren't quite car-related, but are nevertheless gearhead relevant…

That was, quite frankly, as stunningly ignorant a comment as Sir Stirling Moss' remark.

Amen. Squared. To the tenth. Also, +9,237,481.

Just when I think it's safe to be completely apathetic about BMW, they go and do something like this. And I can't help but like them for it. Unfortunately, $35k is still expensive.

I'm actually okay with this. For a large CUV, it's an attractive thing. You can't really blame Citroen for meeting market demand. As long as they do it in typically quirky French style, why not?

Why is there a picture of Michael Jackson on the Elon Musk story!?

"I'm the little Fiat that could! I'm the little Fiat that could! Oh, fuck it. If I was meant to do this shit, I'd have wings and a jet engine. Also, bouncy cushion."

You owe me a new keyboard. This one has half a cup of afternoon coffee spilled all over it.

There is hardly anything "new" about an electric car. Electric cars have been around for at least a 100 years. The reason we do not buy electric cars is because of range anxiety and cost.

I'm sorry for the people that lost their jobs today, especially in this market. I'm also sorry to see an innovative American upstart go under. Whether we as enthusiasts acknowledge it or not, electric cars really are a significant part of the future. They won't displace ICE cars in the entirety, but they will still…

Well, a redisgned Malibu is (again) on the way, and maybe, just maybe, we'll get a new Chevelle out of it. Even if it's FWD/AWD, I really wouldn't mind seeing it return. If set up correctly, a FWD/AWD platform can be a beautiful performer. In fact, the prior-generation Acura TL was one of my favorite sporty sedans to…

I think you missed the point of my comment, which was to suggest that there is a great deal of potential for the design language seen in the pictures to evolve into something altogether unique and attractive. I think you'll also find that if you actually compare pictures of this and a last-generation Audi…

Well, Jaguar competes in the same field as the German brands. Lincoln just isn't there right now in terms of image, and like I said, no matter how good the product is, if Lincoln's image isn't up to par, it's not going to be taken seriously. As far as Jaguar and Lincoln sharing platforms, that was when Ford owned…

I have no problems with this. It's handsome without trying to hard, and I see the potential for a very beautiful design language, one that is very distinct from Audi, to evolve from it. I find this interesting.

In the case of Lincoln, I think the exact opposite is true. After decades of letting their image rot in a back-water cesspool, they simply can't start off with a big RWD halo car to take on the German makes. They'd never be taken seriously, no matter how good the car is. Plus, on a practical note, Ford simply doesn't…

I don't know. By my count, in the next two years, BMW will offer no less than 26 distinct vehicles in their lineup. I'm not sure their dealers would be able to keep them all straight, let alone add two more.

I think that's exactly right. I love the fart-in-a-whirlwind analogy, as it's right on. The Germans are caught up in an unspoken pissing match, and it's actually quite amusing. I would expand a little on a point that you touched upon in that the brands are no longer marketing their products so much as they are their…

I'd comment on this and ask what about this is likeable, but then again, I have a strange affection for the Aztek.
