Unearthed: 1991 Honda CRX Si (Mar 16, 2013) Honda is working on a second coming of the Beat I think. Whatever happens, honda needs some kind of sportscar other than the NSX on the market. A GT86 competitor.
Jeff Gordon Petrifies Car Salesman (Mar 13, 2013) That was great, fake or real
Old Golf Packs 736 Horsepower (Mar 13, 2013) to the front wheels!
Range Rover Sport Leaks Early (Mar 13, 2013) loving this.
5 Affordable Luxury Sedans (Mar 13, 2013) Agreed Colby, I've seen a couple modern 300s decked out in fake chrome and Bentley logos. Awful. The one that takes the cake though is a white 2008 with a gold plated grille and fake spinner rims.
5 Affordable Luxury Sedans (Mar 12, 2013) Saw one white guy in one of these, but he was incredibly fat, and wore a bluetooth. Limo? Maybe...
5 Affordable Luxury Sedans (Mar 12, 2013) does merc offer a stick in anything anymore? I would think this car needs a stick, just cause its smaller, slower, cheaper.
5 Affordable Luxury Sedans (Mar 12, 2013) This is an AMG model I'd actually consider buying. If they use the power plant from the A45, this could be a serious little car. As long as it comes in under 50k.
5 Affordable Luxury Sedans (Mar 12, 2013) Yup, my moms got one of these. She got the f....kin 2.0 litre cause she refuses to drive stick, but it does have nice seats and some good handling.
Ferrari Museum Fetes Supercars (Mar 11, 2013) Still like the enzo more
Top 5 Geneva Hot Hatches (Mar 11, 2013) most excited about this, cause I might buy one in the next 4 to 5 years.
No Such Thing as Too Many Alfas (Mar 10, 2013) This is a serious gearhead. Nice video
Jaguar Releases "Desire" Trailer (Mar 09, 2013) love this car, but it starts at 69k, sooo spensive
Scion FR-S Going Hybrid? (Mar 08, 2013) Power and balance is good, but it will complicate working on the car. I wanna work on my own car, so if Toyota goes hybrid, I'm getting the base model.
Scion FR-S Going Hybrid? (Mar 08, 2013) Not convinced. A good hybrid system will drive the cost up tremendously. I've driven a crz, and its definitely a compromise. I know it sounds old and cliche, but, stick with forced induction!
Top 5 Geneva Supercars (Mar 07, 2013) It looks great, I can't deny it. Still prefer the McLaren.
Top 5 Geneva Supercars (Mar 07, 2013) love this... its wild, but done properly.
Top 5 Geneva Supercars (Mar 07, 2013) Nope, I tried but I can't like this car. I like the flamboyancy, but this is just overdone. Just "in-your-face" craziness. I hope lambo gets a new V10 model into the market soon cause the gallardo is 10 years old now.
How Much is Too Much? (Mar 07, 2013) It is thought provoking. even mainstream cars are getting much more expensive. Like your forum idea too.
Girls of Geneva 2013 (Mar 07, 2013) beautiful, both of them
Stingray Comes Topless to Geneva (Mar 06, 2013) best color combo. Sorry, but the tan roof is awful.
Koenigsegg Hundra Rolls into Geneva (Mar 06, 2013) Ha, never thought of it that way before but its true
Rolls-Royce Reveals Wraith in Geneva (Mar 06, 2013) Classy. Comfy.
Alfa Launches 4C in Geneva (Mar 05, 2013) 4.5 seconds is pretty quick. This car is right in lotus Elise territory
Porsche Releases 911 GT3 in Geneva (Mar 05, 2013) just wait for the gt3rs. thats the true stree-legal racecar. Plus, you get the insane color combos
Porsche Releases 911 GT3 in Geneva (Mar 05, 2013) spot on, porsche
Porsche Releases 911 GT3 in Geneva (Mar 05, 2013) I have faith that the engineers knew what they were doing when they ditched the manny for a dual clutch. It must be a really good box to win over a traditional setup.
Porsche Releases 911 GT3 in Geneva (Mar 05, 2013) really loving this.
LaFerrari Debuts in Geneva (Mar 05, 2013) love the mirrors.
LaFerrari Debuts in Geneva (Mar 05, 2013) it is a bit square for me. Thats my only complaint.
Lamborghini Unveils Veneno in Geneva (Mar 05, 2013) If we ever get into an alien invasion situation, I hope the first thing they see on this planet is this car. "Hmm... they're a pretty advanced civilization, huh?"
LaFerrari Debuts in Geneva (Mar 05, 2013) love it...
LaFerrari Debuts in Geneva (Mar 05, 2013) looks amazing... ferrari knows what they're doing. the teasers didn't do the car a justice.
5 Ferrari-Powered Sportscars (Mar 04, 2013) best sleeper ever! I'd love to troll around in this, and try my best not to crash of course
McLaren P1 Hits Geneva (Mar 04, 2013) I really need to see one in person. I know a couple of Mc. dealerships in chicago area
Lambo Veneno Leaks Ahead of Geneva (Mar 04, 2013) Only 3. Not really the "production car" I was hoping for, but its still pretty sick
Lambo Veneno Leaks Ahead of Geneva (Mar 04, 2013) Damn... Looks great.
Spyker Previews B6 Venator Concept (Mar 03, 2013) it just looks... weird. I hope its the rendering.
Corvette Stingray Convertible Drops its Top (Mar 03, 2013) looks nice, still prefer that coupe roofline.
Chevy SS to Base Below $30k? (Mar 03, 2013) Nice, anything under 40k is a pretty good price. And, yeah, about that astra VXR...
Cheaper Corvette Coming in 2015? (Mar 01, 2013) looks even better in person, but I hope GM goes with some different styling for the cheaper vette. It just wouldn't make any sense keeping the styling the same. At least give it some of its own personality.
Cheaper Corvette Coming in 2015? (Mar 01, 2013) it will be fast no doubt. if it looks anywhere near as good as the stingray, it'll be sweet
Top 5 Brabus Customs (Mar 01, 2013) the russian mafia want their car back
Why the Countach Was Simply Outrageous (Mar 01, 2013) cant get enough of that exhaust note
Audi Reveals A3 g-tron Prototype (Mar 01, 2013) yeah its really hard to understand this when its summed up. Greencarcongress.com has a good article about the audi e-gas project
Audi Reveals A3 g-tron Prototype (Mar 01, 2013) Actually read about this a few months ago. Nice to see they've actually made a car now.
5 Affordable First Cars (Mar 01, 2013) not liking the new grille. The original fiesta actually looked nicer
Student Envisages Alfa Muscle Car (Mar 01, 2013) love the side profile.
5 Affordable First Cars (Feb 28, 2013) I have a 1.4 turbo. My first car. Its slow, but its a whole lot of fun to drive, and as far as hatches go, it looks pretty good. Call me biased, but its a great first car.
VW Unleashes New Golf GTI (Feb 27, 2013) yeah, the rims are over-done. other than that, it does look pretty good. Much sharper lines than the mk6. the roofline looks lower, overall, looks more agressive
5 Ford Supercar Concepts (Feb 27, 2013) I know theres not a chance, but a limited production run of this would be sweet. I love the daytona coupe styling.
McLaren Reveals Production P1 (Feb 26, 2013) breathtaking. MUST see one in person.
McLaren Reveals Production P1 (Feb 26, 2013) Im sure, like most electronic spoilers, there will be a push button option to leave the spoiler up
5 Coachbuilt Alfa Romeo Concepts (Feb 24, 2013) oops, shoulda read the article. they give the 33 thing
5 Coachbuilt Alfa Romeo Concepts (Feb 24, 2013) actually its a modern take on the alfa 33 stradale. Though it does look... "enzo-y"
5 Coachbuilt Alfa Romeo Concepts (Feb 24, 2013) mmm... want the duetto now!
The Stingray Driving Experience (Feb 24, 2013) car shows. I saw it in person at the chicago auto show. looks great in person. They actually had a setup with the steering wheel and the competition seats outside the car. The seats are nice. much better than the base c6 seats that I sat in at my chevy dealer
BMW to Stick with RWD and Manuals (Feb 23, 2013) they got bimmer beat in the design department.
BMW to Stick with RWD and Manuals (Feb 23, 2013) kudos bimmer. Its almost becoming a privilege to have a stick in some cars now.
The Stingray Driving Experience (Feb 23, 2013) nothing like the sound of that small block. Can't wait to get some at my chevy dealer. My dad and I are gonna try and "persuade" them to let us take one out for a test drive. Somehow, I don't care, it must happen!
Koenigsegg Discusses Future Engine Tech (Feb 23, 2013) I have to agree, the huayra is beautiful, but it looks awkward at some angles.
Koenigsegg Discusses Future Engine Tech (Feb 23, 2013) give this man a nobel prize! I've read about some camshaft alternatives and its nice to see some serious development in the works.
McLaren Details 900HP Hybrid P1 (Feb 23, 2013) mmmm... looks great from this angle. new wallpaper:)
McLaren Details 900HP Hybrid P1 (Feb 23, 2013) I would love this in just one color. The unpainted carbon trim bits with the orange look a bit, "off" to me. I'd love this in a nice metallic grey with orange stitching on the interior.
McLaren Details 900HP Hybrid P1 (Feb 23, 2013) Jack, you know we are all into cars too. No need to lecture us.
GTA Spano Headed for Geneva (Feb 22, 2013) I forgot how bad the lines were. No, thank you!
5 Discontinued Cars We Miss (Feb 22, 2013) Actually, a solstice coupe with a well done LS3 swap would be pretty sweet. I know what to do on forza later!
5 Discontinued Cars We Miss (Feb 22, 2013) Saw one at a cars and coffee meet. Love the smooth exhaust note of a bimmer I6
Lambo Urus to Offer 670HP Hybrid? (Feb 21, 2013) definitely the most alien cars of all time. In a good way of course
Sbarro Bringing ReactEV to Geneva (Feb 21, 2013) I'm not judging till I see the final product. I do think some of the lines are a bit busy though
VW e-Golf Shows Up Early (Feb 20, 2013) looks just a bit angry
Mitsubishi Evo X by SchwabenFolia (Feb 20, 2013) f..k yeah it does!
Leno Drives Restored Datsun 510 (Feb 20, 2013) Love the color. Read about an 81' corolla in modified mag that had a similar blue color, the over fenders, and wantanabe mag wheels. I really hope to do a nice project car like these someday. huge jdm fan, great video.
Porsche May Nix the Manual Soon (Feb 20, 2013) No... I'm only 18! I need to live in a world with manuals!
Bentley Flying Spur Pops Up Early (Feb 19, 2013) something about how the rear fender line meets the roofline. flows nicely
Bentley Flying Spur Pops Up Early (Feb 19, 2013) now that is classy. those widened rear fenders plus the new lights and the oval exhaust tips. nice...
Cadillac CTS-V Getting Forced-Induction LT1 (Feb 18, 2013) just an idea, but, an ATS coupe?
Cadillac CTS-V Getting Forced-Induction LT1 (Feb 18, 2013) we can only wait and see stephen. I would love to see a v8 powered competitor for the m3
Cadillac CTS-V Getting Forced-Induction LT1 (Feb 18, 2013) bring it on GM. cant wait to see the new CTS-V. personally, I'm hoping for a supercharger. I love that whining sound on american V8s. wastegate blowoff to me just wouldn't sound right.
2014 Chevrolet SS Revealed (Feb 17, 2013) the live photos looks good
2014 Chevrolet SS Revealed (Feb 17, 2013) maybe not plastic alone, but theres are certain chevy "cheapness" in the cars.
2014 Chevrolet SS Revealed (Feb 17, 2013) The only reason my dealer let an 18 year old kid like me drive the camaro was because my dad was there and interested in buying.
2014 Chevrolet SS Revealed (Feb 17, 2013) oh, yeah, it did. I was looking at the options for it at the chicago auto show this year, and the 2013 model had a 6spd auto standard. I could be wrong, but I think they ditched the manny.
Cars & Coffee Meet in Irvine (Feb 17, 2013) its a tough choice between this and the 458
Chevy Developing All-New 2015 Cruze (Feb 17, 2013) liking the agressive new look
2014 Chevrolet SS Revealed (Feb 17, 2013) plastic keeps the price tag low. just a chevy thing.
2014 Chevrolet SS Revealed (Feb 17, 2013) btw, I own a chevy sonic as my first car, and I have test driven a cruze and a camaro 1SS. dont get so bent out of shape
2014 Chevrolet SS Revealed (Feb 17, 2013) colby, you didn't understand my comment. I was a bit let down by the new impala, with the fwd and lack of a v8 option or ss version, but now I understand why GM went more mainstream with the new impala, because they were working on this to be a performance sedan.
2014 Chevrolet SS Revealed (Feb 17, 2013) The lack of a manual is a turnoff. Its the same situation for the buick regal GS.
2014 Chevrolet SS Revealed (Feb 17, 2013) so this is why the new impala is crap
2014 Chevrolet SS Revealed (Feb 17, 2013) close to 50/50 in a big sedan? how'd they manage that? Is it a 6spd transaxle? cause that could explain a bit.
5 Celebrity Supercars (Feb 16, 2013) money can't buy taste, but at least Eric Clapton has some already. Beautiful car
Alfa Romeo Reveals New 4C (Feb 13, 2013) 240 bhp now, but, this is what the aftermarket is for:)
Worst Veyron Replica Ever? (Feb 13, 2013) lol, I hate replicas, even good ones. But this one is hilarious
Alfa Romeo Reveals New 4C (Feb 12, 2013) A dual clutch? I hope a manual is in the mix! All the italians seem to be ditching manuals for the DCTs.
Most Beautiful Supercar Award Goes To... (Feb 03, 2013) The fisker karma, thats a mustache
Button Drives P1 at F1 Car Launch (Feb 02, 2013) I can tell the P1 has a much deeper exhaust note than the 12C. Amazing cars
Three Corvette Stingrays Filmed on Public Roads (Jan 31, 2013) delete "either" lol
Three Corvette Stingrays Filmed on Public Roads (Jan 31, 2013) Love it in the black with the Z51 pack. If I were buying one, I'd go all in. Either get a nicely equipped one like this. The design is growing on me. It just takes some time, just like the Pagani Huayra, chevy sonic, scion FRS, etc...
Three Corvette Stingrays Filmed on Public Roads (Jan 31, 2013) Well, GM promised a 50 grand base price, so here you are. Still an incredibly fast car for the price, but if you want the world class interior, Z51 package, nicer rims and trimmings, you have to pay world class money. I'm gonna take a stab at around 75 grand for a fully equipped vette.
