BMW, Mercedes, and Audi are cleaning up with the M-Performance/M, AMG, and S/RS crossover models, respectively. The new BMW X3 comes in an M-Performance trim (which is like M-light) and a full blown X3 M is right around the corner. Mercedes offers the GLC in AMG trim as well, and Audi has S and RS versions of the Q5.

You’re making a mall argument. Articulation ramps have the same relevance as dynos do to race cars. Sure, they give you interesting numbers, but KoH has been won by IFS buggies so your entire argument is already bunk.... come into the 21st century, we have cookies with better ingredients

People act as if it is their duty to get offended by everything.

The irony of saving a flat piece of salt cause its pretty thereby preventing the ability to get away from fossil fuel powered automobiles.

I’ve talked to several different people about how FaceID works out in real world situations versus TouchID, as opposed to the carefully scripted Apple demo world.

The A3 doesn’t even have a panoramic roof, or an auto dimming rear view mirror it’s trash. It feels like a jetta. I seriously don’t understand Jalops fascination with the a3

More importantly, maybe it will have less droop-ass.

I mean, up until recently the C5 had something like a 63% readiness rating... so 37% of the time, they couldn’t get off the ground.

Chevy’s going back to round wheel wells huh? Kinda?

They won’t do it.

The STI engine is ancient, they really need to revamp that thing like they did with the WRX. $50k is M240i money and not super far off RS3 money.

Okay, this guy’s an idiot: “off-the-shelf engine from BMW”

Lots of direct flights from Chicago to Tokyo (13 hours vs. LA 12 hours) makes Chicago not a bad place for a Japanese guy.

you are mistaken sir, the correct colour for a mazdaspeed protoge is orange:

Oy vey, this is going to be fun and needlessly wordy for me. The first car that I ever bought brand new off a dealer lot was a 2003.5 Mazdaspeed Protege. However, I got the correct color, Blazing Yellow Mica (Titanium Gray was the most common color by a couple hundred units as I recall). I had mine for about three…

This was mindblowing to me because the price was so LOW. That house would go for two to three million easy around here these days.

According to many who have tangled with her over royalties/residuals, she already is.

NP. $4k in that condition is a no brainer.

I grew up in the Ocean City area. It’s a town that likes to be perceived as “family friendly” when in reality it’s a place that’s entire economy is based off of summers full of alcohol, partying, and good ol’ debauchery. They like to have their cake and eat it too. Were the kids annoying? A bit. But not really much…

I wouldn’t call Ocean City “quiet” - that’s more of an adjective for Fenwick Island or Bethany Beach. But, the locals certainly prefer it quieter than it is on that weekend.
