Little Known Fact #102

At least two of these cars (Golf R and GT-R) were low volume vehicles and their appearance in this story is out of context.

Huh. Um, yeah.... the Tribeca. It's great to own because it has... tires and seats, I guess. It is definitely a vehicle, and therefore superior to walking. Plus, there's something to be said for owning the least-interesting Subaru in history, right?

How about a 335 with a Cobb tune? Age appropriate, quicker than it looks, and pretty cheap if you get one used.

Same search you did:

Disliking Michael Bolton has become a meme. The commercial I've seen wasn't particularly offensive and there are far worse car commercials currently running. Like the brostep Corolla commercial. Or the one for the Nissan Rogue that seems to imply public transportation is a better alternative for getting to work.

It's just a 30 second spot. Why is everyone getting their panties in a bunch? We need to be petitioning against the real enemy of tv happiness: Those Sarah McLachlan/Wendie Malick SPCA commercials. Those are depressing as hell

Just remember, Michael Bolton did this.

Google disagrees:

Hyundai/Kia should really either buy Lotus or contract them to deal with suspension tuning. It seems like a lot of their cars sound good on paper but end up being underwhelming in the performance department. They have improved the Genesis Coupe though a good amount though since the mid life refresh that happened…

I'm curious about that grille design choice. Are the guys at Lexus seriously like "Hell yeah, brah, we totally nailed this shit. High five!"?

Man you really did your homework on the test drives :) That's like a who's who of "cars I'd really like to own."

Matt, as a new Focus ST owner, I absolutely loved this video. People can't understand it unless they start driving one. You actually just start smiling when you get rolling. The sound, the feel, the steering, THE FEATURES. Lastly, the price!

sigh.

So yes, Nürburgring laps are pointless.
