I think the longer the Ram 3500 is, the better it looks. But those dually fenders on short 3500s look pretty goofy. The styling is very flowing and swoopy, so it becomes very susceptible to proportional problems the shorter the truck is. I prefer GM’s dually fenders because they harken back to the 80s duallys. Ford’…

Some nice entries here, but I can’t believe nobody has posted one of these:

8 out of 10 times, regardless of the performance difference, I really think I’d take the Golf R 4-door. The interior is so much more inviting and German. The Focus is likely a great car (never driven a current model, though I have ridden in a couple), but I just do not like that center console, and if I’m paying $40k…

Ah, OK. I’ve seen these torsional strength videos but did not recall the 30X claim. So if the new SD is “24X” stiffer than the last SD, does that mean GM’s truck is 6X stiffer still?

Ya, “24 times” seems almost absurd. The old model tows and payloads almost as much (according to Ford, and independent testing), so a “24X” improvement only nets generational evolutionary gains? Even if it is truly 24X stiffer, the rest of the components on the truck would have to support that for gains to exceed what…

Easily my favorite TVR. It looks like nothing else. Getting a ride in this car is on my auto bucket list.

I voted NP, and easily for me.

A Honda Civic Si from 10 years ago will “destroy this thing”, but that’s not the point. I wager anyone who’s seriously considering this car knows plenty well it’s not going to be a ‘bahn-stormer performance-wise.

I say the surprise power output isn’t a surprise at all. It’s a modern engine; they could probably dial the thing up to 550tq if they really wanted to, and maybe only need to strengthen a few components. In fact they’ve likely already tested this engine making higher output for when GM potentially responds with their…

Call me crazy, but I vote NP. Not an easy NP, but the Shelby name and experimental engine tech is enough if you ask me. Plus, it’s not like the price is $10k. 5 grand may be a lot for a used version of a car that, in lesser trim and excellent shape couldn’t break into 4 figures, but it’s definitely unique, and it has…

Had a cheapo 4-cylinder auto Journey as a rental about 6-7 years ago, before the massive interior upgrade. That instrument cluster was laughable, like they were trying to make an 80s retro statement or something. It just looks like you could slap it off the dash without much effort.

The car is probably NP for the platform and body alone. It’s a German pillarless coupe for Christ’s sake, and it’s in awesome shape. The fact that the V12 works AND it has a 6-speed makes it pretty tempting, but in reality, you buy this thing for everything but the engine. Find another mill to put into it and boom,…

I’ve wanted to understand this as well, since German cars are generally considered to be well-built and “over-engineered”. But that over-engineering never seems to make them as or more reliable than Japanese counterparts. Best I can gather is the relative unreliability of German designs is due to…

I wouldn’t even say the two cars compete. Much more than the price separates the two. The Panamera appears to be a much larger car for one thing, and it’s an executive saloon in the sense of an an S550/S63. The Guilia (unless I’ve missed something) is more M5/E63/CTS-V size, even if it lacks the power ceiling of those…

It’s pricey but I think it’s worth it. How many mid-80s Toyota trucks does anyone see still on the road, let alone in this condition, let alone further the custom cab model? In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one in this flavor.

Well, at least you picked the best-looking version of the Aztek.

“...same road where that dude claimed to have run his Koenigsegg past 200 mph...”

That must be a pre-production marketing pic of the 4G Trans Am. I have never seen one with 3-spokes like that.

Ya, the Caliber is a special kind of awful, which is why Calibert SRT-4s are about as rare as a flat-12 Ferrari on city streets.

Ya I have to disagree with most of these. Excursions and GMT400s for free mean a work truck any time you need one. Also, Avengers may have terrible dynamics, but it’s perfectly acceptable in a pinch, and who could turn down the later 290hp Pentastar V6 examples?
