This is fine for what it is. A bunch of people will buy it and not gripe about the twist beam rear suspension or black-and-white LCD screen. The interior looks attractive enough, and people who like the Arteon’s look will no doubt like this look.

I want a baby EV with the motor/battery pack from the Chevy Spark EV, RWD from the Smart Electric, and the body of the Fiat 500e. Someone do it because my fabrication skills are nonexistent.

I’ve always had issues with animals in video games and other forms of entertainment (ever read We3?). I hated killing dogs when they appeared in CoD4, but kind of got used to it in order to get through the campaign. I even experienced anxiety with Dog in HL2, always fearing he’d die in some scripted sequence in the…

I kind of understand where you’re coming from, but...why not wear a wrist watch? It’s always confused me that these luxury cars have analog clocks in them when their owners most likely own some brand of fancy watch they’d also like to show off.

I never thought I’d feel relieved to see my current car’s successor, but I definitely do.

What frustrates me most is the Dickey Amendment. It essentially stopped any gun violence research dead in its tracks in the ‘90s. Apparently the most recent national budget plan has eased up a bit on gun violence research, but there are still restrictions and little, if any, funding going towards that research.…

It would be kind of cool to see the JDM tuner cars of the 80s and 90s return in full force over the next decade, but I just don’t think most manufacturers are into it. The Evo’s dead, and I don’t think there’s much hope of Mitsubishi bringing the 3000GT back. I’m surprised the Supra is even happening. A new twin turbo…

I’d never heard of this, but I’ll be ready to say “No” immediately the next time I get some new tires. Thanks!

Alright, so 2014 or newer with relatively low miles, let’s say less than 45,000, and a budget of $10,000. I’m gonna set the price cap at $9,000 so registration, insurance, and a nice set of winter wheels and tires can be accounted for. With those parameters I’m getting the basic boring A to B cars you see on the road…

This thing looks too big. The current mail trucks are fantastic for being able to actually access mailboxes on streets littered with parked cars. They also have a turning radius that allows them to pull 180s at the end of residential streets. Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think this vehicle can do either. The hood is…

I’m a residential trash truck driver, and I make a habit of memorizing every house on my route with a sitting gem in the garage that never moves. I service around 10,000 houses in a week. They’re not necessarily “barn” finds, but I like to keep an eye out for estate sales at those addresses. Multiple air-cooled 911s,…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again—Tesla needs to sell retrofit kits. Even if they had significantly smaller battery packs and motors only at the front OR rear of the kit, they’d make a killing with people wanting to future-proof their older cars.

This just reminded me how badly I want one of these. I’m trying to decide if the phrase “half the price of my house” makes it seem more or less expensive, although it definitely makes the M2 seem downright cheap!

I’m getting really sick of these plastic over-fenders. They started getting really popular with the Crosstrek craze and they’re terrible, especially on something that is supposed to be a luxury car. If it’s unpainted plastic it’s just going to fade in a decade and look like crap. Just look at the Allroad. Even the new…

Fastest spirit bomb ever.

Serious question here: why not just buy a Charger? If you want AWD, a fully loaded GT is just under $41,000 compared to the 300's almost $50,000.

I’ve only seen one of these on the road, and they look amazing in person. The super low curb weight is a huge positive, but I still feel like these cars should have had proper manual transmissions and more power. Couldn’t they have put a bigger 4 cylinder in there? When a Toyota Camry can be had with 301hp, I’d expect…

Focus RS because they both have blown hea—okay I’ll stop.

The Googler tells me this car weighs 2798 pounds, which is great compared to most other offerings out there. It would be cool to see a version with a carbon roof, hood and trunk lid though, dropping weight from the best places and coming in at or below 2700. To be competitive for an almost $35,000 price tag though,…

I agree with the carbon fiber ranking, with the caveat that DRY carbon fiber looks awesome anywhere. Wood trim has to be really really nice for me to actually like it. If it’s a fine, straight grain in a dark gray or almost black, I can dig it. If it’s a patterned grain in some disgusting reddish tone, I hate it more…
