@west-coaster: Agreed, but to get into design and engineering would have been waaay too much for me to chew off in the time frame I had for the article.

@Nieros: Posted in Comments

@Eggwich McSpencer: I know, I tried asking for some guidance to the management system (hey, if we become editor, we need to know how to use it), but I never got a response. Charts have been posted in comments.

@C4R4V4Nz_4_LIFE: Precisely the point of the article.

@moparmaniac07: When every decision is made by Fiat, I call that a foreign car company.

@crazycarlarry: That would have been WAY more than 1000 words, and I just wanted to show numeric evidence as to the American-ness of cars. I want to write the article you speak of, and if I somehow manage to win this thing, I will.

Chart 4

Chart 3

Chart 2

@west-coaster: Thank you for recognizing this line as spin. I wrote it sort of tongue-in-check to all the automotive crap that was written in the #carpocalypse. I don't mean to say that one group works harder than another, or even that anyone works hard at all.

Oh crap, the charts never posted. Here we go.

@BrtStlnd: Ha, yeah I did. Turns out it actually WAS a typo! Fixed.

@pauljones: A bunch of these already are! SRT-4, SVT Focus, Mazdaspeed (anything Mazdaspeed, really. Except the Miata), and the Sentra. The Lincoln LS is a bit of a stretch. They were way, way too common, and not too reliable. It (and the Thunderbird) were really just Jags with different clothes.

@homeslice60148: DAMN YOU NIBBLES!

The Cadillac XLR

@7shades: The car your car could smell like: Sounds like an awesome 1:1 scale Hot Wheels set.

@arozzi 수동차 마시고 싶어: The best SFW version I have.

@Mikeado: Actually, I think it's just pining for the race circuits.

@Eggwich McSpencer: Wow, I think you broke their forum! At this time, over 5 pages of response. I also enjoyed that the first agreeing user also happened to be the first one to write in almost entirely grammically correct way!

@Gimmi Mørgäikkönën: That response was aimed at the OP, not you. I live in San Antonio, and our GLBTQ community all seem to drive Scion TC's. I've met over 20 drivers of this car and have yet to meet one, male or female, that isn't gay.
