Except that with the Supercharging, that's actually a real cost the company is having to amortize. When you add a car, you increase the load on the utility the individual Superchargers are connected to. So there's an actual cost that's represented by the money one pays to enable that feature. There's *not* an actual…

This thing strikes me as the unholy child of the FRZGT86 and a Hyundai Veloster. I kinda liked it until I saw that first picture in the last set right after the video - that long flat expanse that makes up the roof needs more detailing work - a bend downward 1/2ish way back I think would look much better.

Your brother.

So much this! It drives me nuts the amount of time certain people I know waste trying to sell things online - they don't realize the opportunity cost of that time.

All that shows is a corporate culture problem and a Powerpoint / slidesmanship problem. I would never put up with a slide deck like that presented to me. In my organization, the Powerpoint typically serves as an Executive Summary / means of starting a conversation - it is never *the* report. Also, the incident…

I traded into my R from a tuned FR-S...And now my girlfriend is probably going to trade her car in for a CPO BRZ. Fun times. That said, the TD1 thing is a flag that gets thrown in VW's system based on the flash counter in the car - if it has been flashed for any reason outside a VW dealer, that flag will get thrown.…

There are upgraded clutch packs for the DSG and clutches for the 6MT to support the Stage III/III+ kits that are starting to appear. It's not a problem. It's only money. Frankly I'm surprised at how cheap the kits are. I spent around $10K to supercharge my old GTO and the APR Stage III kit is under $6K. More for…

FYI, that graph up top is a MK7 and you're talking about MK6 turbos. The MK7R uses an IS38 turbo. I don't know about the GTI, don't have one of those.

You can easily find someone to sell your winter wheels/tires to. I traded my FR-S for a Golf R before ever even using the winter wheels/tires I bought the preceding fall (the winter before I just used all seasons but I wanted more capability the 2nd winter) and I sold them in less than a week for more than I'd paid…

I would agree with this sentiment IF they had the outside disguised. The average joe on the street knows that a BMW is always going to have a double kidney grille. Especially if they’re from Southern California where you can’t walk down the sidewalk without tripping over a 3-Series.

Allow me to introduce you to my 2016 Golf R, which is an all wheel drive 300hp German (the R is still built in Germany) four door (yes, hatchback, but still) for less than $40K. And you can get it with a manual, as I did.

Those Chevy ads aren't ineffective, they're infuriating. "We found ten people who've been living under a rock the past 50 years and have no idea what a Chevrolet looks like. Trust us, it was really hard to find those ten people. But we did. They also had no idea about the value of a dollar. Because truthfully, we…

I love how they didn’t include any of the data that shows how they came up with the numbers. Sure, the “article” describes the process (GOBankingRates conducted a cost-of-living comparison of the 75 most populous U.S. cities, surveying dollar amounts of living expenses including rent, groceries, utilities,…

Randy Pobst as the Stig. But then we wouldn't get the useful commentary so I dunno.

You can option a Model S P90D to $130+K easily right on their website. I did it yesterday, in fact.

Their stock price is going to explode tomorrow. They made $115M today without even trying.

115,000 orders just today? Unless you were in line this morning and placed an order within the first few hours...I think you’re probably looking at 2019 or 2020. Unless they reeaaaaallly get their rates up (which is certainly possible).

Precisely what worries me.

Am I the only one who hates the wing spoiler on the new body style? Don't know what they were thinking.

And yet go on any automotive forum where people are tuning FI vehicles (and some NA vehicles) and you’ll find the tuners stating that Canadian 94 needs to be tuned like CAN (California/Arizona/Nevada) 91 AKI...
