Exactly, the R8 would be more fun than the gas A8 as well. Why not A8 vs A8? Other than the fact that then you wouldn't get to drive an R8...?

I don't see how this comparison is fair, it's more down to what the vehicle is built for than the engine used. Of course the R8 will handle better and get worse fuel economy, it's built for speed and to be quick, whereas the A8 is built to be comfortable as an everyday car, hence the better comfort and better fuel…

Um. R8 and A8 arent even on the same chassis...

In fact, the two couldnt be any less related to each other, outside of the badging.

I don't get the point of the comparison. The only conclusion I come away with, is that there's no one-size-fits-all solution. The brown manual diesel wagon is brilliant at the daily commute, getting groceries, or with the cruise control set on a long road trip. All things where the gasoline coupe would be…

Steve Dinan really wants to tune the BMW i8. He and his team sat down to hatch a plan, but it was scrapped in short order. By turning up the electric wick on BMW's hybrid super coupe, the life of the battery would be decimated. And that's a problem when the 7.1 kWh pack costs upwards of $10,000.

I remember little kid me beating Mario 3 by beating every level, and being upset my dad didn't appreciate the gravity of the situation.

Haven't read this article because the Inaccurate Title throws me off!

1) You don't know what I know... (seriously!)
2) I doubt there is any Shit in Gatorade, let alone it being full of it

I know Charlie is reposting this article but try and use your combined editorial experience to do a better job. Like many here, I am…

I'm really not sure why you said they had trouble driving it...did I miss something? Seems like he hopped in and casually drove down the street playing it cool... was he supposed to do a burn out down the street?

That math is highly misleading. You're comparing $40 million in giveaways divided by the number of jobs retained vs. $26 billion, most of which were loans, not giveaways, divided by the number of jobs gained.

You do realize that California has grown jobs (in terms of % growth) over the past 4 years faster than 45 of the 50 states, right?

$10,000 per job to the tune of $40 million. It's clear Texas was serious about getting Toyota, and it's probably going to end up as a major economic victory for the state. Texas' lack of corporate and income taxes are good news for the automaker as well.

I have a real problem with texas buying jobs. There is no way a state like kentucky can hope to compete with no taxes AND 10 k per job. We simply dont have the finances to offer large corporations that windfall. And we'll have even less revenue as more jobs are taken by larger states. its hard enough competing against…

So here lies my dilemma. As kit cars go, I am actually impressed with this car and its level of detail. I mean they even redesigned the dashboard! But.... if you had that much money to burn on a Sebring, why didn't you just buy a better car in the first place? Seriously, for what this cost, I feel like you…

Honestly I think your brand snobbery is showing. How much do you think the Hyundai badge is affecting your predisposition? If you saw these features in a Mercedes, would you really be focusing so much on the obvious negatives of a luxury car? Light, numb handling is what luxury cars have. They're heavy and meant to be…

Who would buy this car? I'll tell you who. People looking for VALUE. I'm guessing most of the negative posters on here have no idea the incredible amount of tech and luxury is crammed into this vehicle. Oh, and let's not forget about the concierge maintenance program and the best warranty offered anywhere. This…

"Alright, I'm gonna make a left onto this road, here's a guy coming up from the left, after he passes I'll have a window behind him to... is he slowing down? AUGH HE TURNED and now the guy behind him caught up! If only there were a way to easily tell if her were turning!"

So you'll just break your neck in a hard collision instead.

Ya because racecars have a cage, helmet, and hopefully some form of HANS type device.

They aren't mandatory, I promise.

but they look sooooo baller.
