That was my first thought too. I was shopping between the B5 S4 and E36 M3 at one point. While the Audis were generally in nicer condition (and the interior is drool-worthy), the maintenance costs and reliability scared the hell out of me. Even at the stock 250hp with 100k miles, they were ticking timebombs. M3 it was.

In other serious news, there is an article teaching women how to poop stealthily over on Jezebel...

Suzukis is grammatically correct. Suzuki's implies ownership.

Road rage is always a losing proposition, and cars instill too much security and invulnerability in their drivers who are driving aggressively.

I guess what it boils down to (for me, at least) is that I hate how asshats drive, regardless of their vehicle choice. There's enjoying what you drive, and then there's driving like a fucking douchebag. That Ferrari owner falls into the latter category, through and through.

I'm all for brand purism, but the original Coopers were intended as the most basic of transportation for dense urban areas. The modern equivalent of vintage Minis would be the Smart FourTwo and Fiat 500, which are very quirky, niche vehicles. The Countryman is a bit absurd, but I can't say that I hate what's happening…

I don't think it's always about saving the planet...I'm sure there are a ton of hybrid owners that buy them to save money on gas (disregard all the arguments about upfront costs, total cost of ownership, blah blah blah...you know it's true).

Touche. But I mean that selling my girlfriend into sex-slavery was a bit hyperbolic. A bit.

Is there any middle ground crowd of people that like the Prius solely based on decent daily-drivability and good gas mileage?

Popeye's Chicken is fuckin awesome.

If she smokes, she pokes.

I used to think that 2800-lb sport compacts were a relic of the past, but love em or hate em, the BRZ and FR-S will hopefully revive that segment.

Interesting statistics (sort of wondering where they come from — I don't remember taking any surveys. Media tracking? Facebook logins? Liam Neeson?)

Sounds along the lines of their Xperia Play, and to some extent, their Vita.

I'm also wondering why Bentley wanted Jalopnik to review their car. Not knocking on Jalops, but I can think of some other online rags that cater to...ahem...more affluent readers.

The optional Naim unit costs more than seven grand — as much as a well-preserved E46 M3.

I would sell my girlfriend into sex-slavery for that 510.*

a stretch of a stretch?

You can do a timing belt replacement on an Audi S4 B5 in your driveway — doesn't mean it won't command a weekend of your time...
