A reliable source tells me he's headed to Hyundai to design their newest hybrid supercar - the Hyu Briss.

I own a BMW 528 wagon which is about 1 second slower 0-60 than the MS3 but much more fun to drive, a better chassis, and a far better interior.  If you like driving and want a wagon, nothing beats a BMW for better or worse.  They will lose me as a customer since they are killing the manual wagon unless they make the…

I completely agree that the new semi-autos are better suited to track driving and get better mileage. What I get from a manual is a tactile relationship with my engine. You can feel the engine when you let out the clutch in a way that can never do with a paddle. I've had cars with bad engines that were no fun to…

After spending time in a BRZ, I can say that it is more engaging than any new car I've driven in the last decade. For those of us who prefer light cars with precise steering, chassis balance, an enthusiastic engine note and character this is as good as it gets. I own a 1997 911 (993), which is, to me, the ultimate…

Because if you parked in the original, the Chinati police would take you out?

I waste a significant amount of my life reading Jalopnik for writing like this (which has become less frequent). Please pay this guy whatever it takes to write more.

I own a 2009 Challenger R/T with a Vortech installed at ART in Austin. Even with the 5.7, the car pulled 500 RWH on the dyno after installation. Two years later and still running like a top. Anyone reading this article who lusts after the horsepower, RWD, a manual transmission and good design need only find a $20k…

A star for Hooper? For the method acting on Sesame Street?

Watching Germans pretend to get wacky is uncomfortable.

Oy vey, nobody's mentioned the R32? I can finally afford a new car and VW first strips the manual and now the VR6? No engine deserved a manual more than the sweet VR6.

This car originally sold last year for $36k along with a couple other 6 cylinder prop cars. I saw it in person a few times and actually considered it for $38k, but its status as a borderline collectible/embarrassing driver makes it almost unsellable. The poor guy who bought it was a local car flipper and it looks…

@patman: Dead on. I own a Challenger, mainly because it has the best design of the muscle car tribute trio. Although overall the style works, the longer I own it the more the rear quarter "slabbedness" bothers me.

@awwwcrap: We actually produced more cars in America in 2007 (19 m) than in 1997 (18 m), although the share produced by the big three in the U.S. declined.

@rigidjunkie: Exactly - instead of getting distracted by demonizing the company for maximizing the wealth of its shareholders (otherwise known as good corporate governance), we need to fix the rulebook that the corporations play by. The main problem is that we've opened the door for corporations to bribe politicians…

@MaWeiTao: You have to love Germany's schizophrenic imposition of arbitrary and rigidly-enforced rules with a remarkable willingness to yeild to individual responsibility when it comes to going fast. Anyone who has ridden down a concrete summer luge at 50 mph with no helmet or padding provided can attest to the joys…

@leavethegun-takethecannoli: Just bought a manual transmission car with bluetooth. How did I ever live without bluetooth with a manual?

I'd be happy to trade the GM 3.6 for a manual Kizashi wagon with a VW 2.0t. Please? No? Americans won't buy them? Try me.

Dear GM,

@snapoversteer's profile on Sikes's website has a misleading picture: I actually own a Porsche and can't get past the fact that one can now buy three '11 Mustang GTs that also "sprint to 60 from a standstill in 4.3 seconds" for less than the price of this 911. I love the Porsche, but I sense a transition from…

@lilwillie: Motor Trend just posted their quarter mile test. 12.8 seconds. Officially beats the Camaro SS by a tick. Matches the Shelby GT500, which can't be fun for pre-2011 owners. Add me to the list of sports car owners seriously tempted to buy this $35k pseudo-M3. Can't imagine that future CAFE rules will allow a…
