Aston Martin is Not For Sale (Oct 02, 2012) @Mark: I think you may be mistaken that "most" countries use right-hand drive cars. A majority of countries in the world drive on the right side of the road, using left hand drive cars. Aston, being British, show off their cars with right hand drive.
Incredible Exotics Take Over Irvine (Oct 02, 2012) I'm pretty sure the headlights look like that due to a filter on the camera lens.
McLaren P1 Revealed Ahead of Paris Debut (Sep 19, 2012) I think this is one o the best rear ends I've ever seen on a car.
Low Volume Retro: Future Retro (Sep 16, 2012) How is it unfortunate that there aren't that many similarities between the new design and the old car? Car design must progress, we can't just keep rehashing the same designs over and over again. And, IMO, this is an amazing design.
Low Volume Retro: Future Retro (Sep 16, 2012) This isn't retro at all. It may be a spiritual successor to the Alpine A110 Berlinette, but that doesn't make it retro. This is an amazing new car with a very forward thinking design, with a couple of nods to a vehicle in Renault's history.
Koenigsegg Unveils Agera R BLT Special Edition (Sep 16, 2012) This is perfection in car form. The attention to detail is amazing.
Salon Prive 2012 Supercar Spectacular (Sep 06, 2012) @carlos: look at a picture of this car next to a veloster and you'll realize there isn't much of a similarity there, veloster's roof is flat with bottom of window sloping up, while this the bottom of the window is flat with the roof sloping down
Do Hybrid Engines Belong in Supercars? (Sep 05, 2012) I'd take this over the r8 any day, I love the way this looks
Red Bull Racing Rips Through Jersey (Aug 31, 2012) I'm going to be at the race in Texas, so excited to see an F1 race in person
Gumpert Files for Bankruptcy (Aug 30, 2012) One of my favorite cars since I first saw it. Sometimes I think way too many people take Top Gear's judgements on cars as the final say on a car's design merits
Gumpert Files for Bankruptcy (Aug 30, 2012) I actually exclaimed NO! When I saw this article. I love gumpert's cars. I've never quite understood why everyone thinks they're "homely, ugly, etc." I think they're a triumph of function over form resulting in a very aggressive design that's been...
Audi R8 V10 Plus Bows in Moscow (Aug 30, 2012) How exactly is this more bland than any other R8? I actually think this is a step up in aggressiveness compared to the current R8. I like the new front fascia, looks badass.
4 Speedy Taxis (Aug 30, 2012) How exactly is that racist? Mexico does have pretty serious problems with drug cartels and violence currently
5 Zesty Zagatos Designs (Aug 25, 2012) Holy shit, this is awesome. How have I never seen this before?
Boutique Supercars: SSC Tuatara (Aug 08, 2012) I completely agree with you. IMO, one of the best looking cars I've ever seen
Aston Martin Vanquish to Debut at Pebble Beach (Aug 08, 2012) What, does the camaro have flared hips patented? It's a design element present in many cars, especially the One-77 that the car takes many styling cues from.
DDMWorks Tunes 700hp Ariel Atom (Aug 02, 2012) @dylan: they swapped the engine
Twin-Turbo 911 Celebrates 35 Years of RUF (Jul 27, 2012) That's one sexy car
Jaguar C-X75 to Pack 500hp Twincharged 1.6 (Jul 26, 2012) This thing revs to 10000 rpm, I saw it and heard it on top gear's website yesterday. It looks like a pretty cool engine
McLaren-Designed Sailyacht Stores MP4-12C Onboard (Jul 25, 2012) I wish I was rich enough to buy one of these.
5 Must-See Bugatti Veyron Races (Jul 25, 2012) That is one badass r34
5 Must-See Bugatti Veyron Races (Jul 25, 2012) The hennessey venom also has a higher estimated top speed. But without the tests to prove it the veyron is still the fastest car in the world.
Audi Caps Updated R8 with New V10 Plus (Jul 25, 2012) Thank you, Captain Obvious.
BMW Brings its Art Cars to London (Jul 24, 2012) No, this is an actual BMW art car. The one he crashed had been painted by the three of them
5 Tuned City Cars (Jul 23, 2012) Nope, I'm still going to laugh at them when I see them.
Ariel Atom Hits the Track with new Cup Racer (Jul 17, 2012) I'd like to see you, oh great civic killer, take on this car. That would be entertaining.
Fiat Switches to a New Migration with Latest 500 Ad (Jul 16, 2012) He's saying if he was driving the fiat he would of stayed in Italy instead of driving to the us
Fiat 500L Debuts with World's First In-Car Espresso Maker (Jul 12, 2012) Yeah, the beats sound system would be more of a reason for me NOT to buy the car than anything else.
Office-K Display the Immense FAB Design SLR Roadster Desire (Jul 07, 2012) IMO this is completely overdone. And the panel gaps are horrendous on a car that's supposed to be high end. The gaps make it look like a civic with a cheap body kit(the style, not the actual body)
PYSpeed puts Ferrari 458 Italia on Arkym Wheels (Jul 06, 2012) These look a lot better than those chrome rims from yesterday.
Pagani Zonda R EVO Looking Gorgeous on Gold Wheels (Jun 24, 2012) Such an amazing car. Beautiful and insane performance.
No Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG for You, or Rather the U.S. (Jun 22, 2012) @dustin: the idea of a hot hatchback is practicality and performance, not just practicality. And a truck only provides one of those.
Volvo S60 Polestar Concept Sells for $300,000 (Jun 22, 2012) Crazy good for any car, let alone a Volvo.
2013 Nissan GT-R by Vivid Racing (Jun 22, 2012) I've got to agree with Matt here, that's a good looking ass.
Will.I.Am’s Customized DeLorean Impounded (Jun 19, 2012) That's horrible.
Shots from 6th Annual Volkswagen Festival in Moscow (Jun 03, 2012) Is a rusted hood really a desirable look now? There's an xB near where I live that has one with the rest of the car painted. Wtf? It doesn't look good people!
Ferrari to Auction 599XX Evo for Earthquake Victims (Jun 01, 2012) @Chris: And at least black Honda has a reason, and doesn't just decide that the internet is not a place to use the English language properly.
Retrobuilt Offers 1969 Shelby GT500CS Conversion (May 31, 2012) I'm with Tin. You've gotta be smoking some crazy shit to choose this over the new gt500
Lana Del Rey Gets Under Steven Tyler’s Hennessey Venom GT Spyder (May 29, 2012) @matt: I think all of us would drink tequila with those guys. Can you imagine the stories they'd have to tell? I've got some crazy ones and I havent done a tenth of what they have.
From Bollywood to Hollywood, Leno Takes Stock of Tata Nano (May 29, 2012) Any more than 2 people in my 93 Camry and there is a loss of performance too. That's what happens when you add weight to a car. And when we start talking passing the occupancy limit of my car the performance takes a nose dive
Lana Del Rey Gets Under Steven Tyler’s Hennessey Venom GT Spyder (May 29, 2012) Not a question, you can get way better ass with that car
Weekly DFA: Only 76 Aston Martin One-77s Left After Hong Kong Crash (May 28, 2012) Obvious troll is obvious, Dhruv.
Rare Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato Makes Record £1.23m in Auction (May 21, 2012) This car is beautiful
The Emperor’s New Shoes - Bugatti Veyron Wears Forgiatos (May 18, 2012) No Antonio, you need to get your eyes checked. Those are horrible.
Audi Q3 Red Track Concept Heading to Worthersee (May 14, 2012) Next pic shows 155 mph as its top speed(at least as the highest speedometer speed, I don't know if it actually does 155)
777hp Dark Chocolate Lamborghini Aventador by Wheelsandmore (May 11, 2012) Definitely needs the windows tinted, then it would achieve perfection
20 Aston Martins Cruise the Roads of Wales (May 01, 2012) If Cory isn't trolling I think I just lost my hope for humanity... Not that I have a problem with vettes, but they aren't on the same level quality wise as an Aston
A Tuned Lamborghini Aventador J? Prindiville Thinks So (May 01, 2012) But it already is 1 of 1
U.S. Army Gets Fuel Efficient Transport in the Shape of FED Bravo (May 01, 2012) What happens if the stop-start technology screws up in the middle of a hostile environment? Doesn't seem like a good idea to me...
Such Creative Names: Honda 'C' and 'S' Concepts Premiere in Beijing (Apr 23, 2012) That's how the mirrors are on almost every concept car until just before production
MegaGallery of Excellence - Cars & Caffeine in San Jose, California (Apr 20, 2012) @mitch: because it's a badass truck
MegaGallery of Excellence - Cars & Caffeine in San Jose, California (Apr 20, 2012) I wish I could have an exige. Not sure how well I'd fit in one, but I'd make do
Stunning Solid Wood Mercedes-Benz 300SL Replica (Apr 03, 2012) 8000 for this seems like a steal to me
2014 Mazda MX-5 Getting Turbocharged? (Mar 18, 2012) I would take a solstice over a miata for sure, but it wouldn't be my first choice.
Ferrari 599XX Evolution Makes its Suzuka Circuit Debut (Mar 18, 2012) This cars rear wing is actually designed to give it more downforce, nothing like a ricer spoiler
MegaGallery: Cars & Coffee Houston March 2012 (Mar 17, 2012) There are a LOT of kit cobras at this show, but I can't tell if this one is/isn't
2012 Ferrari 458 Italia Novitec Rosso is a Supercar Supermodel (Mar 17, 2012) I think they're bigger than the rims on my car hahaha
Unique of the Week: One-Off 1959 Troy-Chevrolet Street Legal Racer (Mar 17, 2012) This makes me sad to be 19... Not all of us want electric/hybrid cars. Until they begin to successfully make at least somewhat sporty, reasonably priced electric/hybrid cars
Bugatti 16C Galibier Super Sedan Concept Artistically Rendered (Mar 16, 2012) I'm gonna guess this is the same designer from that rendering a few months ago, those front wheel arches are just wrong, imo
First Live Shots of Ferrari F12berlinetta; Plus Three New Videos (Mar 02, 2012) Yeah, there are. From what I've read there aren't that many, and they are kinda difficult to get into, at least in the US.
Surf’s Up in Paris! Fisker Readies Production-Spec Surf for the Salon (Feb 28, 2012) This is the best shooting brake design I've ever seen
Supercar Fans’ Dream: Race the Base Gets Ready for 2012 (Feb 27, 2012) From what I can see I wouldn't think the orange car is a Zonda
Weekly DFA: Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder Flips Over (Feb 27, 2012) This isn't a lambo problem, the conditions sucked, and the guy was inexperienced(renting the car). I imagine a lambo isn't the easiest car in the world to drive on a wet road when you're inexperienced
Aston Martin Returns to Endurance Racing with the New Vantage GTE (Feb 26, 2012) During the video my dog was looking at my phone because of the engine note thinking it was growling at him
Tesla Roadster Owners Warned: ‘Beware Bricking’ (Feb 23, 2012) There is a more in depth article that I read earlier on Wired that stated that other ev manufacturers have built in a fail safe to keep the batteries from fully discharging and damaging the battery, so it's not a problem that can't be solved.
Video: Viper ACR-X Laps the Nurburgring in 7:03 (Feb 23, 2012) It's not photoshopped, the picture was taken while panning with the car = car in focus and background blurred
The Nurburgring Will Be Saved (Feb 11, 2012) You're saying "meh" to what looks to me like 3 599xx's? I've got to wonder what a good car is in your opinion.
Video: Bugatti Veyron Hits 215-225mph 7x on the Open Road (Feb 07, 2012) @John: I don't think the venom has made a top speed run to beat the Bugatti yet
9ff Porsche GTurbo R Quicker Than the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport (Feb 04, 2012) Yeah, if someone gave me a veyron. But even if I had more than enough money to buy a veyron, I would still choose a lot of other cars before it. I really just think that it is not a good enough looking car for that kind of money.
Bloodhound SSC Set to Break the 1,000 mph Barrier (Feb 04, 2012) Considering it only acts as a fuel pump, why would it need more than 800 horsepower?
Report: Shelby SuperCars No More, Now Only SSC (Jan 27, 2012) I think this car looks amazing, at least 500 times better than a veyron.
Unique of the Week: 1989 Porsche 911 Turbo RUF CTR Yellowbird (Jan 19, 2012) Im interested to hear how RUF cheated Porsche... It's a tuning company, the same as any other tuning company, and I don't see anyone saying they cheat the companies they tune the cars of.
Video: Jay Leno Fires Up His Jet Bike on Mulholland Drive (Jan 16, 2012) It's a jet engine... So yes
Friday the 13th Horror: Office-K Goes Chrome with Abarth 695 Ferrari Tributo (Jan 13, 2012) Keep chrome away from all cars, I've never seen a completely chrome car that looks good
The 2013 Cadillac ATS: The New Standard of the World? (Jan 13, 2012) Agreed, this looks fantastic
Video: Japanese RC Car Mini-Drifting Action (Jan 12, 2012) @linton: then you clearly don't know what a gt40 looks like
Ferrari FF Skiing on the Slopes of Madonna di Campiglio (Jan 12, 2012) Then Italians apparently have horrible taste in cars. This is in no way as good looking as I would expect a Ferrari to be
Sweet Saleen S7 TT Spotted Chilling in Sarasota (Jan 11, 2012) @thibault: I would disagree, this car looks much better in my opinion, and is much more badass IMO as well
One-off 1957 Ferrari 410 Superamerica Coupe by Scaglietti Goes to Auction (Jan 09, 2012) How could anyone look at this engine bay and call it ugly?
Porsche 918 Spyder Hybrid Update; Heading to Frankfurt 2013 (Jan 09, 2012) Yeah, the rims are a little over the top/busy looking
Porsche 918 Spyder Hybrid Update; Heading to Frankfurt 2013 (Jan 09, 2012) Why? I kinda like the fact that it's a hybrid supercar, it shows what's possible with hybrid technology
Plymouth’s Retro Hot Rod: In Appreciation of the Prowler (Jan 08, 2012) I'm pretty sure this isn't, as it's identical to every other car in the picture set. And foose's prowler design looks different from what I know
DC Design Reveals Avanti Supercar Concept in Delhi (Jan 05, 2012) That back is disgusting
Report: Bugatti Veyron Grand Super Sport Heading to Geneva 2012 (Jan 05, 2012) @John: I don't think the venom has made a top speed run for the record yet
Drag Race Tuesdays: 600whp Cadillac CTS-V vs. 540whp Nissan GT-R (Jan 03, 2012) @anthony: 127.25 mph is slower than 127.85, the cadillac won
Car Tattoo Fails and Wins (Jan 02, 2012) David: yeah, fiestas have been around for a while
Gnarly Nordic Supercars (Jan 02, 2012) If I had 1.8 million to spend on a car, I'd buy this
A New Lamborghini Aventador is the Best Christmas Present Ever (Dec 25, 2011) Love the Christmas spirit hovie...
Unique of the Week: Bentley Continental GT Zagato (Dec 24, 2011) @Miftah: most car guys refer to there cars as a she if anything, I don't think I've ever heard a guy refer to a car as male
More Photos of the Most Powerful Lotus Ever: The Evora GTE (Dec 22, 2011) Lotus has always sourced engines from Toyota, it's not just for this car. And why does it matter that it's a Toyota engine? It doesn't make the car perform like a Toyota, and I'm sure they've done a fair amount of work on the engine themselves
Leaked: Lexus LF-Lc concept Ahead of Detroit (Dec 21, 2011) And this car looks pretty good, in my opinion it still needs a few tweaks to get it right
Leaked: Lexus LF-Lc concept Ahead of Detroit (Dec 21, 2011) To everyone saying Lexus doesn't sell lfa's at a loss, check your facts. Lexus states that even at 375k they expect a loss on each car. But they can't sell at any higher a price and ever sell one.
Jay-Z to Protect Family in Armored Dartz Prombron (Dec 21, 2011) I think the idea is that something like the effects of an ied would at least be somewhat deterred by this vehicle
Video: Jay Leno’s McLaren MP4-12C (Dec 21, 2011) @cian: do you even know what you're talking about? This car will wipe the floor with an sls performance-wise, this has more horsepower, and it'll out handle an sls by a mile. Jay Leno probably has an sls as well though.
Great Buys at the Bonhams’ December Sale (Dec 19, 2011) Green is the bentley, red is the mazerati
Video: Matt Farah Takes the Corvette ZR1 to the Mojave Mile (Dec 18, 2011) @Ken: I didn't know that, thanks man
Video: Matt Farah Takes the Corvette ZR1 to the Mojave Mile (Dec 18, 2011) It's a zr1, it has more power and it's lighter than a gtr, so yes it should perform better than a gtr
Top Gear Magazine takes Ultimate Aero and Venom GT for a Spin (Dec 18, 2011) I really don't think it's a bad looking car, and its got badass performance as well. It definitely look better than a veyron
Top Gear Magazine takes Ultimate Aero and Venom GT for a Spin (Dec 18, 2011) But someone saying you have to be on meds to not think it's good looking seems to be saying that it is an amazing looking car, which it really isn't, and that opinion would seem to be formed by the performance of the car more than the looks.
Top Gear Magazine takes Ultimate Aero and Venom GT for a Spin (Dec 18, 2011) @Paul: no, I'm saying a lot of people think just because a car is fast or expensive that means it looks good by default. If people actually think it looks good that's their taste...
