Everyone tends to think of F50's, Diablos , and Vipers when you say 90's supercar, but I think the Esprit deserves a bit more attention. If it wasn’t for the weakly built transmission this car would have been able to debut with the 500hp it was fully capable and intended to have. Which would have been huge in the mid

Jaguar XJ220. Only if we’re rebooting it, do it right. Give it the V12 and all wheel drive, and butterfly doors. It is still good as is, but it could’ve been great if Jaguar hadn’t been so penny pinching.

I should love this- convoluted brand history, complicated engine with exquisite pedigree, tin top and not convertible, Italian. But somehow the Fiat Dino always left me cold. I’d rather have an Isuzu 117 Coupé (Giugiaro reused this design but I think the Isuzu looks better). The 117's dashboard was made of Taiwanese

It’s important to note, I think, that it’s not parody. Spaceballs is a work of parody - it has affection for its source material while poking fun at its inherent ridiculousness. Starship Troopers, as a genre piece, is exactly what it says on the tin. It is an over-the-top, absurd sci-fi action flick, it is not

I enjoyed the film as a kid when it first came out because it was an action packed, violent, R-rated movie with incredibly well animated and modeled giant insects eviscerating, and getting eviscerated by soldiers wearing what looks like rubber Nerf armor.

Forget the slideshows, does anyone remember when this site used to do original reporting? This is reporting on someone else’s reporting, as is the OEM tire story, which is based on a video and was already reported on by The Drive, and probably touched on by the other automotive blogs that all serve the same audience

A new Alfa Spider was technically on its way in the early 2010's, but the decision was made to revive the 124 Spider instead since the car was to be assembled in Japan and no Alfa has ever been built outside of Italy.

I’m biased because I have a 968, but it would be amazing to see a modern take on the Porsche 944. With the next Boxster/Cayman going full electric, I often daydream about a new entry-level ICE Porsche sports car.

The problem is that the current regulations preclude building something small light and simple. The BMW 1 series is 1000 lbs heavier than an E30 3 series  and most other cars are bigger and heavier.  Trucks are worse, the EPA "footprint rule" makes a genuinely small truck impossible because something the size of a

That’s why I’m here!

I disagree with most of Brad’s opinions, but I am still entertained none the less.

I would like at least one of the two DeLorean companies revive the DMC DeLorean. EV versions would be fine (and probably fast), but I’d really be impressed if they could pull some BTTF 2 and find a way to have them run on banana peels and Tab soda backwash.

You are an absolutely insufferable Porsche purist zealot, and your opinion is wrong, like all opinions of Porsche purist zealots.

Be a total weirdo and head up to Vancouver Island to snap up this 1988 Nissan Pulsar for $3500CAD. Removable rear hatch with the ability to add on the factory camback, popup headlights, 1980s Nissan reliability, those perfect “here come the ‘90s” wheels. You need a Pulsar.

A 1986.5 VW Scirocco with a 16-valve engine.  Never driven one, but the press was fawning over them.  

Nope, it needs to be a Fox-body Mustang:

For all the college professors that act like they have a stick up their ass, at least this one would have an excuse.
