Man, that is weird. Lightning is some crazy shit, yo.

I think it depends on the vehicle to a considerable degree. I generally don’t drive in my flip-flops if it’s a car I haven’t driven before, because I do think there is at least some risk there in terms of learning how far apart the pedals are and how low they reach. But if you’re an attentive driver and not flapping…

That’s kind of what I’m wanting, too. The stiff shocks and cross-brace really aren’t of interest to me - I’d actually prefer the softer ride. But the LSD is one of those things that you have to get out the door, so I’m probably going to spec the Club version. I sincerely doubt Mazda will offer the LSD on the base car…

Because we absolutely don’t make beautiful, soulful cars anymore. Give me a break.

It’s UK intellectual property law, all bets are off. My guess is even if they lose this, they’ll file a defamation (libel) suit once they get a hold of the film if there’s something in there they disagree with. The UK is very, very touchy about libel, so the BBC will have to tread softly in terms of making sure they…

Agreed, and the real value of customer feedback is that it comes from a non-developer mindset. As much as customers constantly ask for things that make developers go “ugh, that would be a nightmare / basically impossible, you don’t understand what you’re asking for,” they also make suggestions that it’s likely the…

Bad dealers essentially thrive on denying customers information that would help them cross-shop, negotiate with other dealers, etc. It’s all about maintaining this illusion that buying a car is some truly arcane and complex process and that if you don’t have them guide you through it personally, you’re going to get…

Clarification: the 500E does not have any Porsche engine components. The power plant is 100% Mercedes-Benz. Porsche may have tuned it (on that point, I am unsure, and there’s no good info I could find), but peak power and torque figures were in line with any other M119 5.0 of the day. Porsche did chassis, brakes,…

Yeah, that thing really is the ostentatious douchebag hyper-SUV du jour.

Isn’t the restyled G Class coming next year for the 2017 model year? That’s a pretty short rivalry. I’m guessing Mercedes isn’t losing much sleep over the last few G63s they move before the new version comes out.

The AMG version is way overwrought. The standard G550 is a little better, and I think it would be downright inoffensive if people would just take those stupid chromed bull bars off the front. They’re terrible.

welcome to my life

I’m guessing they mean GM V8s.

More like 50-60. “HURRR DURR REMEMBER THAT ONE TIME YOU GUYS MADE A 4-CYLINDER? YEAH MAN THAT WAS SO SHITTY, I HOPE THIS NEW ONE ISN’T ANOTHER “IRON DUKE”, BOB. HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR V8 AMERICAN IRON AM I RIGHT GUYS?”

You really have to be willing to accept WW2 tank levels of visibility to drive one of these things. It’s terrrible. Granted, people drive many far less practical vehicles than a Camaro.

As such, the new Camaro 2.0L Turbo is impressive performance: The 2.0L Turbo delivers 270 horsepower – which is more than any V-8 offered from 1971 to 1995.

An excellent use of a terrible car.

“How do we make this hopelessly ugly car appealing to outdoorsy people?”

very convertible

It’s so deliciously...
