Didn't the Corvette/Camaro manual have a warning about the fuse controlling the shift lockout and a warning about how removing it would result in the feature not working? That's an engineer whose hand I'd like to shake.

They didn't quote a torque figure, but I'd imagine it would be considerable, like the GTD's 280 pound feet.

Why It's Horrible: Designed by Isuzu and General Motors, and seen in the United States mostly as the Chevy Colorado, the Isuzu i-Series trucks aren't really that bad as midsize pickups. They do, however, appear to be wearing braces. Isuzu, trucks don't have teeth. There is no reason to put braces on the front end of…

Looks like somebody's sharing a wheel supplier with Subaru because I'm pretty sure these are literally the same wheels you get on the XV.

Jalopnik Dot Com, ladies and gentlemen

Saw it late last year in San Diego too. VW's definitely putting some miles on this one.

Apart from being very beige, Tennessee State Troopers also have to deal with the questions surrounding that break in the line at the back.

All in all, I think it's a pretty clean and attractive design. Nothing flashy. It'd look good in 10 years the way VWs do. Nothing that's going to look dated one model year later like you get with other companies. (Looking at you, Mazda.)

The crest looks way out of proportion alone.

They use compacts for city police work everywhere in Europe. You don't use a sledgehammer to mount a picture hanger on the wall, why use a pursuit-ready SUV to respond to a noise complaint two blocks from the precinct?

Anywhere on the west coast to airport code ZFV on United. It's an Amtrak codeshare to the 30th Street station in Philadelphia via Newark airport. I booked about a month ahead of time for my Thanksgiving trip and paid $289 round trip from San Diego for peak season travel.

M235i. Why spend all that money if you're not going to be able to hear a straight-six sing?

Las Vegas McCarran International Airport. It's old and grungy to begin with, you have to meander around middle-aged midwesterners gawking at the slot machines, all the airport bars close way too early for you to adequately dull away the pain of being there, you're slow-roasted alive on the jetway if it's not midnight…

The point of camo is lost on me if you're showing the kidneys up front, let alone having trotted this concept all over the place in the press.

Focus ST: EPA 23 city, 32 highway, 26 combined. I'm seeing roughly 25 based on Fuelly tracking over its lifetime, with recent tank averages ranging from 24.5 to 26.5. For about a 50/50 city/highway split, it's pretty close, and I do have the occasional leadfooted inclination. That said I have *never* been remotely…

Ahahahaha, cheap gas in California, hahahaha

Psh, my Focus ST hatchback is made by artisan second- and third-generation Midwestern craftsmen using a harmonious blend of Spanish, German, and copious locally sourced ingredients.

Volvo 240? Saab 900? $20 says you went to a New England liberal arts school.

I'm obviously biased, but my Focus ST is pretty rad in white. The styling cues all seem to pop a little better without getting shouty like on the "Tangerine Scream" models.
