The MX-5 also doesn't have a back seat, and is a different car from the 911 in almost every way conceivable. I find it hilarious that you're criticizing Porsche for building the cars that their "stupid" customers actually want to buy.

Damn that thing looks good with the top down.

The problem is that a car that light would either cost $$$$$$$$$$$$ or would never pass the minimum crash test ratings.

I'm not super-knowledgeable about forced injection, so humor me if this is stupid, but why is everyone so hot for turbochargers while nobody puts a supercharger in anything? The supercharger wouldn't interfere with the exhaust note like a turbo does.

Who the fuck goes to a hall of fame for anything? What a waste of time and money.

It's gonna be so cool when those stupid doors get banged against parking garage ceilings across the country, and nobody knows how the fuck to fix them.

We had a Samurai that we kept on our farm and it might be one of my favorite vehicles ever made. I want another.

This is the first Soul that I've actually found to be pleasing to the eye. I think it looks pretty good, really.

Definitely the Nissan Leaf. It's essentially a $30k Versa Note with a 1.5 gallon gas tank that takes 8 hours to refill.

They're easily the tackiest of the luxury brands, and they have been for a long long time.

Also, just look at this awful lineup of model names: ATS, ELR, CTS, XTS, SRX

Branding is an extremely powerful thing and there are entire generations of people that associated Cadillac with shitty land yachts.

Just look at this car, then compare it to the 2015 E Class:

Cadillac is reaping what they have sown for decades. They pumped out shitty cars for generations and now expect people to consider them over a Mercedes or BMW. It doesn't help that the design language of the entire lineup screams "AARP Member" with all of the chrome bits.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Cadillac just isn't cool.

No kidding. It's like both companies have completely forgotten the importance of branding when it comes to individual models. All they have is a bunch of alphabet soup and nobody can remember which car is which. Both companies used to have such strong model brands, like Continental, Eldorado, DeVille, Zephyr, and…

On this day in 1966, Ralph Nader, a young lawyer and the author of the groundbreaking book "Unsafe at Any Speed: The Designed-In Dangers of the American Automobile," testifies before Congress for the first time about unsafe practices in the auto industry.

I'd take just about any 911, as long as it has a targa top.

I don't think I've ever wanted a car as bad as I want this one. I'd sell a kidney for this.

Screw Ford for discontinuing the Bronco. Nice Price all the way on this one.
