The Jeep and the Focus are the only two that don't look massive compared to their ancestors.

Good God. I was kind of hoping for an old school racecar type. A high revving, high powered loud-mobile with about 600 hp, but if GM is going this way with the Z06, then the ZR-1, if it is still alive, will be absolutely nuts.

How many cars will be sold in 2014? At least one to me.

2007 was pretty damn bad for Motor Trend. Camry over a redesigned S class, Cayman S, XKR, and Infiniti G35. The Volt is a flop, too. PT Cruiser is a trendy, stupid pick that makes you realize how trendy and stupid 2001 was. Also, a Miata has never won. What's up with that?

A Lotus Elise began life as what it was supposed to be, though, which is a lightweight racecar. The Camaro is a big giant daily driving cruiser.

No deal. If I want a light V8 car, I'll shop for something that didn't begin life as a nearly 2 ton Camaro.

Yes. But that won't account for pedestrians. They'll be squished by the surviving crashed cars.

This is where we're headed: hyper-efficient, self driving cars with a car-to-car internet and cameras that were initially designed to detect crashes, but could probably easily be reprogrammed to detect human shapes. Skynet isn't going to have any problem wiping us out.

USA will get a 2 series GT gran coupe. It will weigh 3700 lbs, be AWD, and nobody will ask for it. Still, the old people in Naples, FL will buy every single one BMW builds.

Are these 2014 calendar year debuts? Surprised the 2 series isn't on this list. The 1 series is the best BMW you can buy right now. The 2 should continue that, but be a little bit more refined.

Are we talking about the same F31? The 3800 lbs wagon? (The X1 Xdrive is 50 lbs lighter, the RWD X1 is 250 lbs lighter than the 3 wagon). It handles like an obese, pregnant, arthritic cow, not simply a pregnant pig.

The X1 is a pretty good substitute for a 3 wagon. I drove an X1 28 RWD right after driving an SQ5. The X1 felt about half as fast, but it rode and handled like a car. The SQ5 never let me forget that I was driving a big dumb SUV. An X1 28 M-sport would be perfect for someone wanting a cheapish German wagon.

Just drove one back to back with an S4 over the weekend. The SQ5 sounded better, but it was a lot softer all around. The S4 was a much better car overall. It was sportier, faster, and rode better when just cruising on the highway. If you really need a tall wagon/smaller SUV, and you have to have something fast,…

I don't understand why anyone would want a TL. If this thing is closer to TL price than TSX price, I don't understand why anyone would want this, either.

Between the F-Type, the Vette, and this, the final days of the V8 are going to be pretty amazing.

Would the Allroad be salvageable with the SQ5's version of Audi's 3.0L Supercharged engine? The 4.2 L V8 from the RS5? If it were a Miata?

If he's partying in rehab, then he'll violate the terms of his probation, and he'll go to prison. No politician will touch that with a 1000 ft pole, unless that person doesn't give a shit about his own re-election, and if that's the case, how could that person be a slimy politician in the first place?

"Affluenza" is an idiotic thing for a jury to buy, but 10 years probation plus the stigma that's going to attach from this verdict is a punishment. What exactly does prison accomplish, other than costing tax payers money? At least in rehab, he could potentially fix his own problem, plus his family has to foot the…
