My father has a 2.7L Ecoboost F-150 and consistently gets better than sticker for mileage. Hell, it’s a 4x4 and he averages better mileage than I do in my speed3.

When I say it’s just not that good, I’m speaking primarily to its aesthetics. I don’t find it to be a pretty car.

I don’t think I’ll ever understand the love for the DS. It’s like the Citizen Kane of cars: all the professed nerds claim they love it, I’m sure it had some amazing firsts, but when you sit down and look at it, it’s just not that good and you wonder why everyone is so frothing-at-the-mouth about it.

The new Bumblebee movie might fit that bill. The two antagonists they’ve been focusing on in the previews are triple changers whose ground modes are Mopars done up rally-style.

Damn, I consider myself pretty knowledgeable when it comes to Transformers, but I thought the only transfoming Celica/CelicaSupra was the crotch on Puzzler (who’s not even a TF but from GoBots).

Next you’ll tell me that there’s one that turns into a Miata.

Yeah, it sounds good, but when you hear that do you hear Lamborghini? ‘Cause I don’t. That sound could be coming from anything from a Mustang to an Aston Martin, but it doesn’t say Lambo.

But is it really a speed3 if the torque steer doesn’t rip the wheel out of your hands?  Save the AWD for a speed6.

There was a Loveline where someone asked Dr. Drew why they responded to everything seriously, even if it seemed completely ludicrous, and his response was that even though he knows it’s most likely a goof, he answers it seriously because someone out there MIGHT have that problem but be too embarrassed to ask about it.

It is apparent that manipulation of market forces is repeatedly placing our largest manufacturing sector in a position of undue risk

Socialism is best applied to shared needs; roads, emergency response, military, healthcare, utilities, etc. I don’t see how automobiles fit under that. Better would be apply that socialism to create a proper safety net so that those that lose their jobs don’t become destitute. Make having a job optional for survival…

‘jou all forget about the twin-engine Tiburon?

I think CotD works best when it’s the editors’ choice of something that needs more recognition. That might be a high-star comment, or it might be a deep cut that only a few other commenters appreciated that day.

It’s a Bronco III.

For some reason your list reminds me of the the scene in Spawn where the clown starts rattling off all the names he’s not:

Sure, this is by FAR the best looking generation of Supra and I’d love to have one in my garage but $19k is fucking insanity for one.  This seems more like someone getting nagged to sell a car and putting a ludicrous price on it so they can tell their husband that no one’s biting and they may as well keep it.

The issue is that the question isn’t “manual vs automatic” anymore. It’s that what kind of automatic transmission. DCGs and CVTs are both automatics but I think most of us have a preference between the two.

Isn’t this just a VW Beetle with a few whizzbangs, more power, and better gearing?

I once coasted a ‘67 F200 with the 390 for about 5 miles because it ran out of gas.  Luckily it was downhill and there weren’t any stop signs between me and the gas station.

Damn straight. Best looking truck is late ‘70s Ford.

IMSA’s great and all, but if you want the best RWD Celica of all time, you best be talkin’ ‘bout the Whistling Pig.
