It has to be the “65" option on the AMG cars. The big turbo V12 is actually slower to 60 than the “63" turbo V8 cars. Having driven both in one form or another, I’m going to go on a limb and say it’s because 738 lb-ft of torque simply demolishes tires. And sanity. It’s too much fun to have a S-class that will get…

You recommended the light duty 1500 class trucks for someone who “has to go diesel”. I can say from experience working at a Ram dealership that if you try to do big truck stuff (haul big campers cross country, stuff like that) you will destroy the V6 Diesel. Guy bought the truck thinking that he could deliver campers…

Can confirm, my insurance tells me I have a 4-door sedan and I only pay about $100 more than my ‘99 Cirrus. It may be cheaper than that now that I’m 26 and have a few less tickets on account.

Hey now, 9 MPG isn’t SUV-like.

It’s pretty rare that I have something that I can’t fit in my RX8. It’s just about the perfect size for me. The backseats are “useable”, more legroom than a new Camaro but no more than required for the occasional spare people I put in it. The trunk is roomy enough for most crap, and the front seat folds almost flat to…

“Saying it like it is” and “the whole goddamn world is too PC now” are just ways of saying that you are upset because you can’t bully Gays or say Nigger in the workplace anymore like your daddy did. Liberals taught their kids to think (for the most part), which is why said kids are called “sensitive” and “pussies”.…

How does one go about doing that? If an opposing force strikes their leadership first, then that force is the “bad guy” and will never have a chance of winning over the populace, and will never be safe occupying NK

I agree there. This isn’t a group of rebel fighters in a building that you can put a JDAM in the window of and only level it with little consequence. The only time a strike on North Korea would be “surgical” would be a nuclear strike, unfortunately.

All wars have a cost, and if it needs to be paid, then hopefully it will ensure world stability. I’m not saying it would be right for many, many, innocent lives to be taken, along with all the military casualties every side would take. There’s no good way to invade, and it’s not like they have a whole bunch of…

Yeah true, but I was saying that not every car they had was slow for its time. There were performance options available

The interesting thing is that Buick actually had “hot” cars just about every year up until like the mid 00's, then they fitness extra slow, and now they’re picking back up

Not hard to get at per se, but a bit of a head scratcher was the first time I did a serpentine belt on a Buick 3800 series 2 engine and found that the belt is ROUTED AROUND AN ENGINE MOUNT! Which of course means that the mount has to come out in order to replace the belt. Wtf GM

This all seems like it’ll be pretty legit. The generation gap and the not new review sound very very exciting, along with the new score system

But they were built right next to my hometown at AM General! That’s about all I can say about them tho. I’ve never had an urge to get near enough to one to actually check it out

Ferrari Red 01 Accent GS (The powerhouse 1.6L with a 5-speed), Mettalic Brown 97(?) Saturn SL1 (Factory equipped with a 1.9L that self converted to be a hybrid oil/gas burning 3-cyl), Silver 99 Cirruse LXi (2.5L V6, so I guess technically it was DSM because 6G73), now I’m on a Lightning Yellow 04 RX-8 (yes it’s…

I totally agree. They have daddy’s money, now they need to go play. Maybe just do a rally car Mirage with a globally available street car version, ala Evo, to start, and produce a revamped line up that’s not ready for 2012 to roll around. AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, IF YOU MAKE A NEW MODEL GIVE IT A NEW NAME. I’m tired…

Speaking of the nine-speed in this, FCA can’t figure out the gearing and programming in this trans. Also, I don’t know why, but all the Fiats I’ve driven at my shop (I’m a general service tech for a FCA dealer) have hyper over assisted steering. It’s like my grandmas Buick or the USS Constitution was what the steering…

Cool. Thank you

Where do I get Jalopnik stickers? I need some for my Rx8

NO worse than a rotary. Put all the electric motors and F1 engines in it, you peasants still have PISTONS! Heh!
