It's not a question of liking or not liking, it's a question of not caring. This is some mental concept which will have little or no bearing on reality. Also on a related rant, what in splintering fuck is a 'design language?' For god's sake, just say 'do you like the way this car looks?' Design language is such a…

Fiat Punto 1.2 ELX, circa 2001. It's extremely difficult to drive because it's so unrelentingly shit.
An automatic.
Is anyone surprised that Mercedes got off with nothing more than a slapped wrist? They're the only pseudo-mainstream manufacturer competing in F1 with a team as opposed to just being an engine supplier and they're FIA's track car supplier of choice. Plus they've got an annoying little shit of a driver who, if Merc had…
A thoroughly unfortunate automobile.
Merc W124 500E. I love my four door, but the availability of a wagon version would have rocketed it into hitherto unknown levels of utter magnificence. Plus the W124 wagons are handsome buggers to begin with, so seeing one with the moderately flared arches of the 500 would make them rather attractive.
The CS is a much better car thanks to the lack of the stupid SMGII gearbox.
The square root of fuck all is how much I care about this fucktard.
They still aren't. Hateful little things.
God has turned his back on this car.
Mk4 VW Golf GTI. 1.8 turbocharged four banger, modified in various elements to 220+bhp. Taught me everything I needed to know about torque steer, understeer and lift off oversteer. Nearly killed me on several occasions, loved it dearly. My favourite modification though was the removal of the GTI badge and its…
Trust me, you really don't want one. The V6 wasn't the wonderful Alfa Romeo engine but a rather anodyne Vauxhall/Holden unit which turned vast quantities of petrol into nothing other than a tinny facsimile of a proper Alfa V6 bellow with little or no performance to show for it. The car handled like a small hippo and…

Don't know about a couple of them. Bruca Canepa makes 959s demonstrably better and over on Pistonheads a user who goes by the name 'flemke' has spent a great deal of time and money improving his F1. I personally have nothing against modifications that you can reverse which make the car better.
Rev-matching manuals? What is this heathen blasphemy of which I hear you speak? Merely the suggestion of such underhanded tecnhiques to fool the unititiated into thinking that you have manual transmission prowess should have you banished into a dark room for a week where you will be forced to spend the entire time…
Am I the only one who thinks these 'stunters' are dumber than a box of hair? You live in the United States, there are hundreds of big ass parking lots where you can do this sort of crap to you heart's content, and yet you persist on doing this on heavily policed interstates. The officer was a tad overzealous, however…
A couple of things spring to mind when watching that video. Half the gauges don't work, okay, no big deal, but still a little bit annoying. The other thing is gear shifting, that car in the video looks reasonably old and I imagine that in real life it has an H pattern manual transmission, shifts are not that fast.…
As long as it comes with a manual transmission. If logging on to Jalopnik for the past few weeks is anything to go by the only thing that matters is a manual transmission.
Hell yeah. It doesn't even have too much of that stupid 'stance' that the young'uns of today seem so enamoured with.
Love it, want one. A wagon, in black with DSG please. And not a bloody diesel.
