My coworker has a bone stock 2005 WRX. I have dibs on it when it goes up for sale.

This is the reason I didnt' get a 135i. The only three in existence within 300 miles of me and all of them were slammed.

Aww, it's like a MINI Aston.

Well, companies like Ford spend tons of money on market research for products. It's not that they don't think we NEED a small truck, it's that their research suggests that people aren't willing to BUY small truck in numbers enough to warrant their sale in the US.

The sales tax alone on this car would be in the neighborhood of $5000. There goes your down payment.

You don't need to lease to get a deduction. I've deducted more than the value of my car for the past two or three years.

"Yay! Pontiac is bringing back the GTO! Hooray!" said everyone back in 2004. All that hype lead to disappointment when the car came out looking bland and somewhat underpowered with an LS1.

You're off by about 1000lbs mate. 3800 is unreasonably heavy for a coupe and you can get a sedan for under 4k.

You can't get a GT for under $25k. The base models are all gone.

No offense, but you're not likely to get a new 5.0 for under $25k. All of the base models have been picked from the lots, leaving premiums with a bunch of stupid options.

Shit, if I knew you could get one this cheap, I think I would have looked at them instead of a V6 'Stang.

*not performing a salat.

What the if the owners were Muslim and he was fired performing a salat? Would you still not see the problem?

You really think that the 100lb weight penalty is enough to negate the 70hp/40ft.lb advantage of the Colorado?

Manual truck buyers are a very, very niche market. Even large diesel trucks are going auto-only.

These are just little electric motors, it's not some super exotic and complicated contraption. They should be about as reliable as windshield wipers.

BMW's T/C autos are pretty much as good as their DCTs — the only difference I can tell is that launch control is better with the DCTs. The shifting feels identical.

The 911 launches at 6500 RPMS? Damn!

We shouldn't continue the enforcement of policies that are morally objectionable. For that to happen, somebody has to make the objection.

There is an automatic option in the current Miata and I'd expect that to continue. Maybe it'll be similar to the slick unit from the Mazda3 and Mazda6, one of my personal favorite autos in the business.
