Back in the early- to mid-2000s, I had a die-cast model of this car. I absolutely adored it, and I thought one of the coolest things about it was the included hardtop. Adolescent me was taken aback by this design, as was my mother. I still think that this design has aged quite well, as it’s a very simple design with…

I’m actually disappointed it’s not going to be a hybrid. I was hoping that if Toyota were to make a Corolla hot hatch, they would turbocharge the 2.0-liter and add three electric motors, two in-wheel for the rear, for an e-AWD system with torque vectoring.

I have never met a single person to give a negative reaction after seeing a Morgan 3-Wheeler. Even if you think it's impractical or frivolous, you have some understanding that it was a car built to put a smile on your face, and that fact alone can elicit the very same response as driving it.

Crack. Pipe.

If experience is anything to go by, panel gaps are a big deal for major automakers. From my days working for a major automaker, I can say that gap and flush are two things that are taken very seriously. It may seem minor, but to the undiscerning eye a 7-10 mm gap can be noticeable and incredibly unnerving. Making sure…

“I am neither old nor white enough to understand what that means exactly...”

I think VW offers a similar green hue on the GTI. So there’s no point in going for the high-riding money-grabbing crossover when the hot hatch that defined hot hatches comes in a similar color, is available with a manual transmission, and, yes, is a freaking hatchback!

I see these things all the time. I guess they were (still are?) a fleet special, since the Cancer Center near where I live has a fleet of them as shuttle vehicles. Every time I see one, I think, “that’s one of those Lincoln MK-whatevers, uh, which one, X? S? No, T!” It’s the one I think about least, mostly because I…

Part of the reason why Porsche is such an enthusiast brand, in my opinion, is that there’s something for everyone. Fancy simple, air-cooled analog machines? The 993 and everything before it is for you. Are you a fan of all things technological? The Porsche 959 is the genesis of that; the 918 Spyder is Porsche’s most…

The only way America is getting this is if Toyota lifts it by 2 inches, adds some plastic cladding, and call it the Corolla Cross Tourer or something like that.

Congratulations to Genesis, Hyundai, and Kia for topping JD Power’s initial quality rankings. I know they worked really hard to reach this milestone.

I think that the title that Damon went with was polarizing, almost necessarily so. It’s clear now that it has separated those who read the article in its entirety from those who did not.

First-generation Chevy Cruze. It’s comfortable and spacious, but I find it so utterly boring that I harbor such an irrational hatred for it. After the Cavalier and the Cobalt, I thought that GM could only make shitty compact cars, but the Cruze is actually somewhat decent, discounting the yawn-inducing exterior and…

Let’s note here that both the four-cylinder and V6 Camry models have more power and torque than the Toyota 86. If there was ever a reason to boost an 86, getting smoked at a stoplight by a Camry would be a really good one.

There’s no one “most metal car on sale today.” In fact, there are three. It’s the “Brutal Trinity,” if you will:
