This is a NP that Kia wasn’t.  At 29K it would have been a NP because it’s a Kia and not a Mercedes.

If there was ever a conversion that is BEGGING to be electrified this is the one.  Even the name already has the E in front.

Amazing how tiny that engine looks in the bay.  Remove the plastic cladding by the hood latch and it would be cavernous. 

Old cold tires my eye.  That Viper could have had new warmed up tires and the story would have been the same.  Face it the Viper had looks but it was a terrible design.  All the weight on the front and not enough contact patch to hold on to all that torque.  Result is the back end leaves the front end behind in the…

Just an observation and an interesting coincidence regarding manuals considering the S on a Carrera actually means a lot from a base model Carrera but not so much for your Corolla.

I like to think I started the red badge for manual thing but probably not. I have a 6spd manual Carrera S arctic white with red calipers which stand out but it needed a little more so I color wrapped only the S on the Carrera S badge just to add a little bit of tie in a color to an otherwise monochrome look.   I…

Amen to that.

No John, shower or air con is a little to basic for me but I like the design.

I’m happy with good quality thick cloth fabric.  When taken care they are just as durable as anything else and you don’t worry about heat and cold.

2nd Gear, I agree we as a nation should be doing more for pedestrian safety. What I don’t think is fair is comparing much of the US to Norway and cities like Oslo. Oslo is an ancient city with a deep and established history and network of streets and throughways that are better suited for slow traffic or pedestrian…

Hilarious when you see these trying to park, unless you are next to them and then scary because to close for comfort.

An SUV with what looks like cramped rear seating and no cargo in back because of that ridiculous rear end.  It appears to be failing at all but the performance part, might as well get an Aston car at that point.

I was sold on the Lancer Evo when I saw that video of Tanner Foust in the US topgear racing one down a mountain.  I couldn’t find one so I settled for looking for a Ralliart but of all the sales guys I called they apparently couldn’t tell the difference between a regular Lancer and a Ralliart Lancer so I gave up. 

All that flip flopping about like or no like and no range numbers?  On a side note, I wonder what it would look like with color matched cladding.

If it was a drivers car it would have three pedals and stick shift to go with that rear wheel drive.

Super Dave Osborne is reborn.

Someone would have to pay me to even touch that steering wheel.  Nasty.

Wow, that sounded like an 80's era arcade in the cockpit for a while there.  Scary.

Aw man this looks rode hard and put up wet for 24Large.  No dice.

The obvious safety issue aside, has anyone done an infrastructure assessment of roads and bridges.  Right now you have a mix of heavy duty vehicles wearing on the roads but imagine that doubling, tripling or more.  In that aspect gravity is also immutable.
