I voted for the Bimmer, and then saw your comment on the price. $20 large on that bimmer is Crack Pipe territory. Still prefer it over the Renault, but wouldn't buy it at that price. Wouldn't buy the Renault at any price. *shrug* It's all down to personal preference.

Not if us enthusiasts show up on day one post-embargo with cold, hard, stable foreign currency and don't get too greedy.

I like these flowcharts, but I do 'em backwards - I find the car(s) I want to drive/own, and then work backwards to see what the author thinks of people who drive those cars. Apparently I want to make several statements (take driving seriously and have the gloves to prove it, live dangerously and Nader can suck it,…

This, even though it's the government paying for the TSA, and not the airlines directly. Get people through check in a lot quicker, and they'll put up with a lot more bullshit once they arrive on the plane. More people on the plane, more profit to the airlines, and more profit generally equals lower ticket prices…

CP - they already did an electric CRX that noboby likes:

When you read the intro paragraph, it sounds like a lady has a crash, dude runs out of nowhere, reaches into the car, mugs the lady and takes all her cash, and runs off. What really happens is that random dude walking down the street, sees an accident, spots money flying out of car, picks it up and runs off. Still,…

Not only replace it with a new one, but get one of the lifetime aftermarket filters, like a K&N. They generally have better airflow over the stock ones, and won't cost you $10 every 10K miles to replace because you just clean them every so often. That's the first thing I do with any car, be it brand new or used, slap…

This. Many a year ago, it was nigh impossible to find anyone of the female persuasion who was playing paintball without being dragged into it by a male significant other. As a paintball player of the male persuasion, I found myself turning into a drooling, overbearing, bumbling, obnoxious idiot when I actually ran…

That's what I was thinking. The RS at least offers a 6-speed, the first time in a Fit from the factory, but what about a K20/K24 200hp-like option? I get that the Fit is a brand new vehicle from the ground up, and the L15 drivetrain is not directly compatible with the K's, but come on Honda, impress us with a real hot…

Looks like it. And with the words "Franken Sprite" scrawled on the side of it, I'm guessing this is someone's failed LeMons/ChumpCar crapcan racer project.

This!

You have a point, but I wouldn't pay that much for a Mini, either. And while not a fanatic, I do at least like the looks of them. *shrug* I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder (and price is in the eye of the bank account).

Agreed. Maybe for $5 large, but for almost $20? I'll buy a used 911 from the '80's for that kind of scratch and be happier, thanks.

Why did it take him 'til after the 3 minute mark of a 4 minute video to reveal that he hadn't actually driven the Vuhl? Yeah, it looks great at the press event, and on paper, but until you actually drive one, who cares? Yes, we're all excited to see how the folks in Mexico do in making a track day car, but until you…

I live in Columbia, the most bike-friendly city in Missouri, but also the home to 3 universities (MU, Columbia, and Stephens) and all of the attendant people learning how to be adults still. We've come up with an acronym for these kinds of riders - BRD.

True, it is aimed at that crowd and not my crowd. I still just don't see much in the Hyundai/Kia line that counts as "exciting" though. *shrug* No accounting for taste.

$47grand for one though, for a car that doesn't handle like a BRZ or any of the WRX/Evo line of cars (or even a Civic Si), and can't push like a WRX. For that kind of money, you could get one of the Toyabaru twins, hand it over to Crawford performance for their gentle ministrations, and get far more bang for your…

I agree - Subaru is on here, but neither of the Korean twins (Hyundai and Kia) even made the list? What exciting cars do they have? The looks cool, but handles like every other Kia Veloster, or the you can find better performance for cheaper Genesis Coupe? The BRZ from Subaru is what the Forte Koup wishes it was from…

I have to agree here and disagree with the Honda Haters - at least Honda has the Fit (screamingly fun to drive in a tiny, affordable, versatile package) and the models with the K24 drivetrain offered in them (don't forget one of the Jalop writers compared an Accord v6 almost lockstep with a Lotus Elise in terms of…
