It still floors me that today, starting under $30,000, you can have over 300 horsepower and 300 ft-lbs of torque from an engine that displaces less volume than the coffee decanter nobody’s ever cleaned at the office. Not even ten years ago those kind of numbers were par for course on a V8 engine at least twice the…

Continuing tradition, fan-made Sonic beats official Sonic. How long until a group of devoted fan animators gets noticed by Sega and given a contract for a feature-length animated movie?

Lede image: Hate to say it, but the redesigned Versa is a very nice looking car. Definitely on my radar if it drives anywhere as good as it looks.

Brilliant. I’m going to try this starting next week.

Now that you mention it it does have kind of a neo-steampunk vibe, doesn’t it?

Like I said, sad to see Hyundai discontinue the Elantra. Puts us below 50 new cars for sale across all makes and models...slim pickings.

What a shame. It was a nice-looking car with a great warranty for not a lot of money. Sad to see Hyundai discontinue it.

I’m in the exact same boat. My car owner’s manuals are three of four books I’ve read cover to cover the first day I had them in my hands.

Pfft.

$82 billion is an outrageous valuation for a company with nothing more than some patents and intellectual property, either of which can have their value impaired rapidly by a few legal rulings against their holders.

They also seem to suck at photo composition, or perhaps Morris made much larger cars than I remember.

I know it’s a great car. I see a few regularly in my area and they stand out in a good way. I know it’s the first reasonably-priced sport sedan in a long time, and Korean build quality has skyrocketed to the point they compete with Japanese marques.

But will PuttPutt Go to the Moon?

The story needs to be heard. With the writing on display here it’d be an equally fantastic piece!

It’s never a great idea to limit your potential market to existing customers only. The younger demographic is getting priced out of new American cars (above $25k) and are likely to buy new foreign ones (below $25k) over the next couple years...and five years after that when they’re looking for a larger car they’ll be…

I’ve always wondered what a full pack of Mazda MX-3s (powered by the 1.8L V6s) driven by ravenous amateurs would look and sound like.

$225 million can bankroll the one-make race series of my dreams...
