For 2001-Today, I vote for the Honda FCX Clarity. No other car has been more focused on a realistic and sustainable future of driving than the Clarity. It's not some stupid hybrid or electric car with a limited range. It takes what we, as modern people, expect from gasoline-powered cars and adapts it to meet our full…

It seems as though it can always be an answer for something - Buick GNX. By the mid-80s, Buick had gone the way of Oldsmobile and Cadillac, producing staid, beige floatmobiles. Then, out of completely nowhere in 1987, the GNX debuts. Sure it had GM's tried and blue 3800 V6, but it was turbocharged (for a Buick?!?) and…

Hold up. Is a sample of 2000 car owners really enough to represent the 250,000,000 cars we have in this country? I mean I understand it's easier with a smaller sample, but I'm curious to see how these numbers would change if a more realistic base was taken. ie The number of people who drive those 'fancy youropean…

My vote is the Kula Highway leading up to the Alli Kula Lavendar Farm on Maui, Hawaii. The road has a constant upwards incline (going up the side of a volcano) and winds and bends in an extraordinary way. This is one of the few roads in Hawaii where rented Mustangs and Sebrings dare not pass without knowledge of the…

which are made in america....

I was going to say exactly the same thing but with a 1997 Buick LaSabre. I was just afraid of getting mocked. You sir have bigger cohones than I do.

/am i doing it wrong?

Mustang. Specifically a 1968 Mustang. This catapulted American cars to the world in the most awesome fashion in Bullitt. It's a fantastic car that sings a baratone. It oozes Americana and is a symbol of freedom and the open road everywhere. That's what American cars are all about.

This will come to America - the same day Ford believes they Mondeo Estate Turbodiesel with a 6 speed will be an overwhelming success here too.

This tracking is just for ads isn't it? Like research to see what ads better fit you to make better money matters that much that everybody with an iPhone needs to cower in fear that 'big brother' is always watching. Whether it makes a difference at all, I browse in Safari's mobile Private Mode. Are people just afraid…

I can't find the link, but it was on one of Gawker's websites (Gawker.com?) where, in some European city, an artist set up statues of people doing random, terrible things, like hanging off the side of a building and smashing their head into concrete. Art is getting weird...

Possibly Unintelligent Question: What are French carmarker's hesitations about entering the American market today? Not taking into account their past history here and speaking of purely the products they offer and politics, why not? They are all engineered to do well on European test cycles for fuel efficiency,…

exactly what I was thinking

Is Maury or Dr Phil still on the air? Wasn't this their speciality? I want a drill sergeant to yell in his face for six hours. Then tell him to steal a Mercury.

I may be speaking as a narrow-minded struggling finance student, but Apple has millions and millions of dollars of profits this year. They could eliminate this entire debacle about Foxconn by just making their factory workers the best paid in China. Product quality would improve and Apple would be making an example…

Hyundai Genesis. Sublimely comfortable, civilized, and with a 10 year, 100,000 mile warranty, I couldn't think of anything better.

show me your ways, o buckeyed one

I wouldn't be surprised. Cylinder deactivation is good in concept but I'm not sure if its the best in practice. I have a modern 3.5 V6 from Honda and its supposed to get about 30 highway with half the cylinders off. I've never seen north of 25, even practicing my best Christian driving.

I'm not sure if anybody mentioned it, but the Cadillac V8-6-4 was probably the worst engine ever made. Rattly and unrefined, it's intentions were genius for the era, but execution was terrible. Idk if this is classified as a performance engine, but being a V8 I'm sure it had some power pretensions. I don't think any…

A Supercharged Range Rover Autobiography, unmolested. No blacked out rims or worse - lowered. Just a standard, $130,000 SUV. You need nothing to call unwanted attention to you, yet you need something with great status and something that will scare anyone away while still being able to blow them away...in the truck.
