What is this even supposed to prove about the car?

I guess I misunderstood what those numbers mean. I thought they were able to be compared across cars, so if one car is better-handling than another, it would get a higher score, regardless of what you expect of the car. I don't mean to make a big deal out of this, it just caught my attention. Carry on.

Wait a second, so the 320d Touring got an 8/10 handling score, this gets 7/10? Are you saying the Coupe has worse "handling" than the wagon? What's the difference? And did the gearbox get better?

I completely understand. Some people like their cheesesteak without the Gods' gooey yellow nectar coursing through the undulations of tender slivers of steak.

The one difference I can discern is that not a lot of places outside of Philly have cheez-whiz. That makes a cheesesteak for me.

Those fenders always reminded me of a Churchill tank.

Oh God this is so great. Now I can't decide which I like more, this or the Beetle-based 959.

What is it?!

Hey, this looks a lot like the one I found on CT craigslist a few months ago! Euro 635, he was selling it alone. This one has no floor, I believe.

The Simeone Automotive Museum in Philly has one. It's pretty fantastic.

I don't see anything particularly weird in the first seasons. Sure, it was a tiny bit cheezier back then, but then it was several years ago. From the start it had most of the DNA that made Top Gear great. Same humor, similar chemistry, a great film crew, the jokes about Belgium, Jeremy's pink shirt. Strangeness of…

Great news, everyone, now go out and BUY them! .... when they come out.

Princeton, NJ seems to have the highest concentration of TDI Jetta wagons in the entire country.

Looks like the copper is showing some patina! That's fantastic, when the car was first unveiled the copper surfaces were bright and shiny. I hope Peugeot brings this car out every year so we can see the changing texture.

ARGH, <1080p is not good enough! We want pixels!

Sure, when faux-aggression wasn't the fad it was something else. Before that it was soap-bubble smoothness, where a Mustang had the same facial expression as a Camry, and there wasn't a sharp line to be found. I think the balance is roughly the same as it's always been. There are design leaders, a few cars that stand…

I'd be very weary of nostalgia talking. There were always fads and trends with cars, because cars were always fashion. For a while no cars had fins. In a matter of a few years everyone had to have fins. Ridiculous, bumpers, chrome anywhere you can put it, these were all trends shared, copied, and followed by everyone…

You're using a '59 Dodge as an example of cars that didn't have "fads", "added styling", "different for the sake of being different", and "faux aggression"? The 50's were pretty much defined by those phrases, except maybe for the aggression bit.

I want to feel bad for the demise of SPEED, but I can't. As the one channel dedicated to motorsports and automobiles, it had the responsibility to cover a broad range of series and events. Instead it boiled down to NASCAR, Pinks, and Barret-Jackson. It's great if you happen to love those things, but SPEED should have…

Looks nothing like a Volvo, but I appreciate the super-subtle hints of P1800 in the profile.
