North Korea to Take Over Hyundai? (Apr 01, 2013) Is this something Hyundai released for April 1st or did car buzz just make this up?
Classic Maserati Found in Barn (Mar 23, 2013) Down in his barn my uncle preserved for an old machine for fifty odd years...
Fiat 500 Tender2 by Castagna (Mar 23, 2013) I really don't think people are getting the point of this car. You partly have it just so you can brag about not having doors. But seriously, with 2000 hours of custom work into it it's bound to be expensive.
Jaguar XFR-S Dynamically Debuts (Mar 22, 2013) I totally agree just I never see any British racing green any more.
MT Pits Focus ST vs Mazdaspeed3 (Mar 22, 2013) Jason, well I'm pretty sure a review is a bias but that is a completely different topic.
Jaguar XFR-S Dynamically Debuts (Mar 22, 2013) It seems British racing green is going out of style. It's a shame too because it's such a good color.
MT Pits Focus ST vs Mazdaspeed3 (Mar 22, 2013) I like the orange better.
MT Pits Focus ST vs Mazdaspeed3 (Mar 22, 2013) Jason, so you're saying that the person actually driving the car and not just typing on a phone is biased? Wow.
Famous Races: Indianapolis 500 (Mar 17, 2013) I'm pretty sure NASCAR wheels are kept with lugs to keep tradition.
Journey to the Targa California (Mar 15, 2013) Love the whale tail.
Old Golf Packs 736 Horsepower (Mar 13, 2013) Wyatt, it's a sleeper. It's not meant to go around corners.

Top 5 Sportscars in Geneva (Mar 08, 2013) Connor, Morgan is one of my favorite brands. The sound of the plus 8 is one of the best.
Scion FR-S Going Hybrid? (Mar 08, 2013) I don't really think they'll go through with this. It doesn't really fit the image of the car.
BMW i8 Lights Up in New Spy Shots (Mar 07, 2013) Jason, you call throwing a motor and a few batteries in the trunk of a Elise cutting edge?
BMW i8 Lights Up in New Spy Shots (Mar 07, 2013) This car is meant to usher in a new kind of car. Very high mpg and respectable performance. Since this is the first one of its kind, of corse it will be expensive.
2013 GTA Spano Debuts in Geneva (Mar 06, 2013) The previous picture has two peddles. This has three. Someone's pulling a fast one.
Final C6 Corvette Rolls into History (Mar 04, 2013) C5, the best looking vette so far.
Spyker Previews B6 Venator Concept (Mar 04, 2013) I would buy a spyker just for the interior.
Unearthed: 1969 Renault Alpine A110 (Mar 02, 2013) You have to realize that it was only 1200lbs.
Toyota Unveils GT 86 Convertible (Mar 01, 2013) Noah, they said they couldn't even fit a turbo in there. Not a chance of fitting the V10.
Pagani Responds to Top Gear Controversy (Feb 28, 2013) This tire isn't street legal. It's what's on the zonda r. They cut groves in it to make it legal.
Cheaper Corvette Coming in 2015? (Feb 28, 2013) Ryan, Exactly my thoughts.
Alpina Previews New BMW B3 Biturbo (Feb 28, 2013) I'm really getting tired of the "if this was a Kia no one would care" argument. It's a car deserving of the hype, get over it.
Lotus Recalls Elise/Exige for Oil Line Issue (Feb 28, 2013) Jack, only in pictures does it look high.
5 Ford Supercar Concepts (Feb 27, 2013) If anything ford is using more Astonesque designs, not jaguar.
VW Unleashes New Golf GTI (Feb 27, 2013) Noah, wait, been in one or driven one? Because those are two completely different things.
5 Ford Supercar Concepts (Feb 27, 2013) Unless I'm mistaken, ford sold of jaguar a while ago.
VW Unleashes New Golf GTI (Feb 27, 2013) The tartan seats really grow on you. At first a hated them but I've grown to love them.
VW Unleashes New Golf GTI (Feb 27, 2013) Noah, are you just saying that or have you actually driven a GTI? Because if you have then you would know it doesn't need RWD.
VW Unleashes New Golf GTI (Feb 27, 2013) Last gen's rims were the best and I was thinking that what ever rims that replaced them would not even compare, but I'm glad to see these are continuing in the same theme.
5 Aston Martin Concepts (Feb 26, 2013) Nick, it was a joke.
Classic Clarkson: Mercedes SLR McLaren (Feb 25, 2013) American cars have a double tax on them as well when sold in Europe. So the European market as a tad bit different, but over all, everyone has their biases.
Classic Clarkson: Mercedes SLR McLaren (Feb 25, 2013) I guess I wasn't that clear with my comment. What I meant to say was I know that German cars, for example, are cheaper in Europe because they have to pay an extra tax to the US to be sold in the US.
Classic Clarkson: Mercedes SLR McLaren (Feb 25, 2013) Jake, American cars are more expensive and European cars cheaper in Europe. Their market is just different. Also TG loves some American cars.

Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG by Brabus (Feb 25, 2013) You can flip a switch that opens up the pipes to make it louder.

VW Announces Finished XL1 (Feb 21, 2013) They actually make make Eco cars ugly so they will grab your attention. The uglier they are the better they sell. The people who buy them want others to know they are saving the planet.
5 Discontinued Cars We Miss (Feb 21, 2013) I love fast wagons but it's certainly not a looker.
MT Drives Mercedes SLS AMG GT (Feb 20, 2013) One of my favorite cars. For around 200k the only thing that might compete is the R8 GT.
Shocking! Something in Russia Didn't Crash (Feb 20, 2013) Yeah, they don't make ultralights with jet engines.
Top 5 All-American Supercars (Feb 18, 2013) Peter, the Gallardo uses a V10 based on an Audi V8 which was actually developed by Cosworth.
Top 5 All-American Supercars (Feb 18, 2013) Everyone has different classifications for what makes different cars different ethnicities. Since Hennessy really only makes the engine in America I'm more inclined to think it's British.
Rolls-Royce Planning V16 Roadster? (Feb 18, 2013) Nobnard, actually it probably wouldn't make a sound.
2014 Chevrolet SS Revealed (Feb 17, 2013) Colby, you would go for the plastic grill because you're a corvette guy. I'm sorry I just had to say it.

Alfa 8C Dances in the Snow (Feb 16, 2013) *Snow drift, sorry.

Arab Supercar Attracts 100 Orders (Feb 11, 2013) Obviously there is a waiting list.

5 Unnecessary BMWs (Feb 09, 2013) Jeff, he's talking about cars that don't uphold BMW's sporty/luxurious nature and have other cars in their segments that you could buy for as much or less. Cars that won't be missed.
Mr Bean's Mangled F1 Cost £1m to Repair (Feb 09, 2013) If I every get rich I'm going to buy two F1s and blow one up, just to make people mad.
Top 5 Final Edition Models (Feb 08, 2013) I'm not sure what traction control has to do with the venom.
5 Upcoming Geneva Motor Show Stars (Feb 07, 2013) Jack, not to mention corvette fanboys. Their just as bad. I really don't think very many other fanboys comment as much or as obnoxiously as the gtr and vette fanboys.
5 Upcoming Geneva Motor Show Stars (Feb 07, 2013) I really wish that this car is better then the Ferrari F150 but I don't see that happening.
Focus ST TrackSTer by fifteen52 Heads to Chicago (Feb 07, 2013) Tow straps are really strong. Plenty strong for towing.
First Corvette Stingray Ad Airs (Feb 04, 2013) This thing is now almost as much as an m3. I think I'd rather go with an m3.

Top 5 2013 Super Bowl Car Commercials (Feb 04, 2013) Joe, because of the song "don't worry, be happy" by Bobby McFerrin who is Jamaican. For some reason though people think it was written by Bob Marley.
F150 Revealed at Private Preview (Jan 31, 2013) Jack this is RWD. The only RWD car that can do a 60 in under 3 seconds that I'm aware of is the atom. After a while if you add more power you just lose grip.
Top 5 1000-HP Supercars (Jan 25, 2013) VW worked a lot on the car so if you wanted to you could call it German.

Bob Lutz's Lotus Evora S Up for Sale (Jan 23, 2013) Chris, actually they are one of the more practical sports cars out there

GM Planning BRZ/FR-S Fighter (Jan 21, 2013) Wyatt, I think you need to look else where if you want that much power.
VW XL1 Caught in the Snow (Jan 19, 2013) I think this is the first Eco-car I'm actually exited about.
Unique of the Week: MGB GT V8 (Jan 19, 2013) The power output is actually not that bad for the car's weight and age. It probably handled amazingly.
Cadillac to Build a 1 Series Fighter? (Jan 17, 2013) Stephen, they could easily get 20mpg out of it with cylinder deactivation.

Nissan Posts 7:19.1 Ring Lap in Latest GT-R (Jan 11, 2013) I'm not much of a fan of the gtr but I'm hoping this should shut the corvette fanboys up. At least until the c7 zr1 comes out.
Caterham Targeting Cayman with New Sportscar (Jan 10, 2013) We don't know anything about this car. Don't judge it yet.

Ford Focusses on the Recording Industry (Jan 01, 2013) Lucas, it's a recording studio, it wasn't meant to be fast.
Tug of War: Duramax vs Touareg (Dec 30, 2012) Jimmy, it helps if you're pulling up and away. If anything the VW had a disadvantage because of pulling down.
MT's Quickest Cars of 2012 (Dec 30, 2012) Dhruv, all German companies under rate their cars' speed. The turbo s is rated for a 3.1 0-60 but they're able to get lower times.
5 Embarrassing Family Cars (Dec 30, 2012) It's like there was an argument about the roof line when they were building it so they went with both roof lines.

Renault Alpine to Arrive in 2015 (Dec 27, 2012) 250 can be plenty if it's low weight. This is caterham we're talking about, it's going to be light weight.
