The new season of Game of Thrones started last night, and, surprise, there's no cars. Not that I was expecting any, of course, because I know that a little bit of magic makes people (even fake ones) stupid, and incapable of building anything like a car. But if they could, what sort of car would the GoT world produce?

Does anyone else get a slight Art Deco vibe from this? The way the car slopes back from the high, blunt nose and the green house pushed towards the back make me think Art Deco.

The Equinox is a fine vehicle, even if it's out-styled and outclasses by nearly every car in its class. Would the fact that it's safer in a few categories guide you to buy it over, say, a better Mazda or Honda?

I like the cut of your jib.

Lighten, get rid of blind spots and make the back seats less stuffy – it's a win-win-win as far asI can see. Time for a sawzall.

Can't we get icon on this? 99% of people who have ever lived will not be able to afford it, but at least we'll know that someone out there somewhere, who wears drawers sewn of $50 bills, is driving it, which would be something of a salve.

I voted out of spite. The Fox Body will never be forgiven for knocking off the FC.

Don't let the doritos crumble.

My first car was an Isuzu Impulse.

I was raised on Sport Compact Car magazine and surrounded by V8s piloted by mulleted assholes blaring AC/DC, Guns n' Roses and Quiet Riot acting like they're the cream of the shit in their rust brown beaters, which came by the colour naturally, not via paint. And that was well into the '90s/aughts. Thus, there is a…

And you still have (probably) a solid rear axle, which, good as they can be, with some work, are not as good as IRS. Not saying you couldn't make a kick ass autoXer out of it, but it would take more work than say a 240SX. Both cars have a real deep after market and you could do almost anything with them, but the Fox…

It's easy to see this one way: the 240SX is good for drifting whereas the Fox Body is good at going sideways, hitting trackdays, running on the strip, and just about everything else you can imagine. I think the differences are more about where your automotive nostalgia lies. There are enough V8 S13s and turbo 4 SVOs…

That paint, you're not doing it any favours.

And that a cat's terminal velocity falling is slower than what will kill them?

Eh. I'm the sports writer at my local paper and have no interest in sports, to the point that I, being Canadian, did not watch the gold medal match. I think you'd be surprised at how many journalists are out there writing about things they don't have a passion for.

The flat wheel comment was just a (not very funny) joke. There was that guy who had a fit about flat wheels on a Mazdaspeed3 render a little while ago that ended up in pages of discussion regarding the shape of wheels and how renders with large, and/or flat bottomed, wheels was wrecking car culture and all that is…

The wheels are flat on the bottom.

No, people should look into what car they buy and no just continue to buy Toyota's because for the five years they own them before flipping them they didn't break down. I want people to go into the car market looking for a good car, a car they want to have, not marching back to the same dealership every car without a…

No, but if the lowest common denominator in cars moves up, then it should give a little encouragement to all other manufacturers. It may be a game of inches, but that sometimes what it has to be. If, when Mazda makes interesting cars they get a bump then they are encouraged to continue making interesting cars. It also…
