Why not try out the German MR2? 280hp, under 3,000 lbs.

Seriously, who let David Tracy in the door for this one? I mean, I want that jeep, but I can be sure the subject of the article doesnt.

Ohh, you want something rode hard and put away wet?

These requests always generate such hilariously awful suggestions I don’t know why people send them in anymore. One of the requirements was “quick,” fer chrissakes. He’s not going to be happy with some 60-horsepower ladybug (or pre-Vietnam military vehicle, jeez) to replace an MR2. Buddy, just buy another MR2 and move…

I’m sad to see that no one has yet suggested the Fiat 500 Abarth.

Slightly disappointed Jalopnik cannot properly identify a very common enthusaist subaru. Its NOT an STi, its a regular GD chassis (06 or 07) WRX.

You think Ludacris and Tyrese Gibson are lynch pins to a multi billion dollar movie franchise that also has The Rock and Vin Diesel in it?

I love her and her leading role in a B-movie action franchise is long overdue, but honestly they won’t care. If this franchise can survive the loss of Paul Walker is can survive her loss. After all, she’s not even in the one that made it a global phenomenon: Fast Five.

High-octane fuel does not magically have more energy in it, it can just be compressed more before self-igniting. If an engine is designed for regular, then it doesn’t have enough compression to take advantage of that.

take than, every $1,000 craigslist beater e36 owner!

This benefit in packaging space can, according to a Ford patent on the technology, yield faster catalytic converter warmup times...

Tesla doesn’t have to be the first in autopilot. They’ve already carved a section out of the EV market and claimed it.

Are there any executives that aren’t assholes these days?

Honda has no control over the slimy salesmen. Nissan had the same issue when the skyline finally hit the US (not that I’m equating them).

“ONLY 6,000 are being made?”

Do not agree.

“I asked Kenny if this $15,000 markup would go down over time, and he lied saying no—if anything, prices could go up. He told me: “We’ve been getting request for this car for over year... [customers] know what it’s going to do and what it’s going to be.”

This is hilarious. Previous runs of the Golf R/R32 were limited to 5,000 units, and only came out every 4 years, yet by the end of the run they were easily had for well under invoice.

True enthusiasts will pay every penny to get this car

So whenever there is a Tesla lawsuit we’re told by the states or the dealer association that keeping the franchise model is for the good of the customer.
