Is it just the Alltrack that gets the bonus fuel capacity, or the wagon in general? Trying to get a grasp of all the differences between this and the regular 4motion Sportwagen being released next year. If the Alltrack S starts at about $27k with DSG, I’m assuming the Sportwagen with cloth, regular suspension, no…

Always wanted an Allroad, but every one I see on the street looks like it’s been to hell and back, which is telling of just how expensive they are to deal with. There’s one near where I live that just sits parked on the street with what looks like a failed air suspension. Nice job on yours though, it looks great! And…

The market for these things is killing me. I’ve actually been looking into a 912 just to have the chassis and transmission, and doing an EV conversion down the road to the tune of 250ish equivalent horsepower. Even a poor condition 912 is running at least 10 grand right now, but part of me still wants to pull the…

I’m a trash truck driver, and I’ve been messing with the whole egg-hatching thing while driving my route. Open the game, plug the phone into a USB charger, set the phone in my dash cubby, get to work for the day. I DO NOT TOUCH MY PHONE WHILE I DRIVE. I drive around 80 miles on average on a work day, with probably 30…

Selling just the “skateboard” would be pretty awesome, but I also dream of Tesla offering retro-fit kits for older cars. There are companies like EV West that make these, but if they could source Tesla’s components (AC motors, controller, battery packs) and make custom kits out of them? Yikes. It would be cool if…

3000GT VR4, Prelude Si 4WS...yeah, I could get on board with a 4WS revival. I’ve always wondered why it was dropped, and I’d assume most consumers saw it as gimmicky and useless. I remember seeing the 4WS Prelude destroy in slalom testing against a stable of pretty high-end cars in a magazine at some point. Having…

This is actually a big reason why I fell out of love with newer Dragon Ball stuff. The art style is just off. It’s not just the line art either. If you watch the remastered scenes in Dragon Ball Z Kai, you’ll definitely notice that they “remastered” them using solid color fills. A little bit of grain and variation…

Even the lower-performance “cool” models seem to be absent on the U.S. roster. A basic A4 or A6 Avant isn’t sold here, unless you count the Allroad, which is overpriced if you ask me. I’d also like to see the A1 offered here.

I’d have to get the premium package with heated seats/steering wheel on top of the forged wheel and track tire package, which also means grabbing the winter tire package on top of all of that so it could be a daily driver year round. I’d do without the blue paint and sunroof though, so I come in around $43k if I…

I love Volkswagens, but the Focus RS is swaying me more and more each day. Even with more power and better looks, would the R420's AWD system be a match for the Focus RS’s crazy-ass GKN Twinster system? The Focus is also $44,000 absolutely loaded up, and I can’t believe the R420 would be anywhere under $50,000 with…

My wife and I are in kind of the same situation. She loves her 2011 Golf TDI, and I do too. The DSG is fantastic, fuel economy is outstanding, it looks great, handles great, and so far has been very reliable. The whole emissions scandal really put a damper on our feelings about the car. I still love Volkswagens, but I…

Chrome in general does not belong on new cars. There. I said it. It was great on the classics, acceptable in the ‘80s and ‘90s, and flat out tacky ever since 2000. Hell, automakers should ditch chrome badges too. I’d be ecstatic.

Yeah, I’m just gonna de-badge my wife’s TDI so she doesn’t get screamed at by crazies or have notes left on her windshield. We do feel bad about the emissions, but we aren’t about to go out and buy another car because of it. If the fix doesn’t mess up the car’s performance too much, I’d consider taking it in.

“DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME.” After trying this at home. In a residential neighborhood. On open roads. With pedestrians.

I don’t think the Ghost has been improved at all. It’s not the voice actor that’s the problem, it’s the dialogue. Nolan North has a higher-pitch voice and reads lines with emphasis on different words/syllables. The higher pitch is actually a little annoying to me. Do people really think it’s that big of an improvement?

HHNNNNNGGGHH. I was planning on picking up a 1:18 scale model of the current Polo WRC car, but hot damn I think I’m gonna need the newer one too.

I’ve actually been trying to get more comfortable with this idea, and never thought about just how much time an older, low-mileage car has to sit to stay low-mileage. My main reasoning to get more comfortable with buying an old 911 with 200k+ miles, besides the fact that it’s all I’ll ever be able to afford, is that…

Let’s say it IS the next Z. Would you then agree that buying a new 370Z Nismo and putting it in storage would be a good idea? Oh, you’d buy TWO and put one in storage. Excellent advice. I’m on it.

Not sure if anyone else will agree, but I loved the feel of the guns in general in Bioshock. I don’t know what it was about that game, probably a number of small factors, but it just felt good. Call of Duty was obviously great as well. Only certain guns from Destiny feel “right” to me, but even that can be interpreted…

I actually just finished up Tropical Freeze over the weekend, and while I like the newer enemies, I would kill to see the classic baddies come back in a new title.
