US Bound: 2012 Toyota Yaris Hatchback (Aug 19, 2011) And a yaris/accent buyer cares about this because...(insert reason here, cuz I sure as hell don't know it)
Cadillac Ciel Concept (Aug 19, 2011) This car can easily fit the LS. But that would completely defeat the purpose of why this car was built.
Cadillac Ciel Concept (Aug 19, 2011) If Johnny Cash were still alive today...
Cadillac Ciel Concept (Aug 19, 2011) This is a MAN'S convertible!!!! Finally! It's been a long ass time since we had one.
Cadillac Ciel Concept (Aug 19, 2011) What's bently? Rolls, who? Mayb...
Cadillac Ciel Concept (Aug 19, 2011) So far I love it. I just hope those goddamn rappists dont use it on their videos. That would just ruin it for me. You know...ghetto-fying this car. I propose: lets hang anyone who ghettofies this car!
Cadillac Ciel Concept (Aug 19, 2011) I'm sure if you saw it in person, you'd have a solid decision. You'll either love it or hate it. ( no room for in-between "liking") I'll wait for the LA carshow to come up.
US Bound: 2012 Toyota Yaris Hatchback (Aug 19, 2011) The yaris(tercel) has always walked in the shadow of the matrix(corolla)
US Bound: 2012 Toyota Yaris Hatchback (Aug 19, 2011) Really?!? Do most yaris/accent buyers truly care about HP-torque, anyway? I'm not a Toyota fan, but they've been proven to be more solid cars than Hyundai.
Saab Sees its Asset's Frozen (Aug 19, 2011) Saabs are solid cars with a very subtle luxurious look.
Rumor: 2013 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel To Get 50 MPG (Aug 19, 2011) If I'm gonna drive a diesel, why should I have to sacrifice looks? Maybe chevy designers should team up with the Holden designers to improve the looks of the Cruze and aveo.
Rumor: 2013 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel To Get 50 MPG (Aug 19, 2011) I have to agree with David on VW. Mainly because the golf and jetta look way better than Cruze and sonic/aveo.
Rumor: 2013 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel To Get 50 MPG (Aug 19, 2011) Original or not, those fatass rear lights just make me wanna bash em in. They just look annoying to me.
Rumor: 2013 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel To Get 50 MPG (Aug 19, 2011) In all fairness, Ian, don't believe everything you read about chevy diesel. In fact, with just about anything in life, don't believe everything!
Rumor: Honda CR-V Pickup? (Aug 18, 2011) This is a Hearse with a lift kit. Just pull up a pic of a black one, you'll come to understand me.
Rumor: Honda CR-V Pickup? (Aug 18, 2011) Is the era of mini truckin coming back? 3k lbs of towing. Approx how many lawnmowers, leafblowers, and undocumented aliens is that?
Winning! Ashton Kutcher's Two and a Half Men Trailer (Aug 18, 2011) Trailer park heaven! Next Powerball winner "gonna git wunnuh theez heyr"
Official 2012 Porsche 911 Photos Are Out (Aug 18, 2011) Shane has every right to not like Porsche design. (even though I think he's crazy for it) xD
Chevrolet Debating A Rival To The Nissan Juke (Aug 18, 2011) Phillip, I don't know how you can assume that the HHR could be a #1 in looks.
Chevrolet Debating A Rival To The Nissan Juke (Aug 17, 2011) how does a design cue from the HHR make it better then the Juke? Both are ugly, why "settle" for ugly and have a battle of the uglies exist in the automotive market? All cars should look good. Is that such a bad thing to want?
Obama Admin. to Lay Proposed Fuel Standards for Larger Trucks (Aug 17, 2011) Screw the rest of the world and their petty affairs! It's only taking away from my paycheck. If the world really needs the US military for aid, then they should pay us for the services.
Obama Admin. to Lay Proposed Fuel Standards for Larger Trucks (Aug 17, 2011) No offense, but OZ doesn't spend billions on frivolous global affairs like the UN (such a waste of my taxes) If we (America) could STOP being ignorant bleeding hearts and focus more at domestic issues, then we could actually work our way back up.
Video: Jay-Z and Kanye Have Words for Maybach (Aug 17, 2011) Maybachs are about as overrated as untalented rappists like Kanye. (F*ckin raptard bitch!)
Chevrolet Debating A Rival To The Nissan Juke (Aug 17, 2011) Things were going so well for GM and now they decide to regress with a big weakness niche. Did they forget that they make the Tracker? Fact is, all US makers failed with the sub-comUV market
The Fast and the Fugly: TH Automobile’s VW T5 (Aug 17, 2011) The safari is still around
Leaked: Audi Q7 Pickup Finally Surfaces (Aug 16, 2011) Yes, US p/us are the best. It's a tug k war toss up with the SUV market though. Its why the Wrangler is king (euro-american engineering) But with small SUVs, Germans win.
Hennessey Venom GT to Appear at Pebble Beach (Aug 16, 2011) I hope Hennessy and SSC agree to a drag race! If there's a video already out there, please paste a link here.
Hennessey Venom GT to Appear at Pebble Beach (Aug 16, 2011) Didn't the MP4 beat the Veyron SS? Or is that still unofficial?
Video: 3-Seconds to 60mph Quimera AEGT Electric Racecar (Aug 16, 2011) Who said anything about speed bumps? I'm not exactly asking for a rally car.
Video: 3-Seconds to 60mph Quimera AEGT Electric Racecar (Aug 16, 2011) An F1 can race rain or shine, hot or COLD. I hate to say this, but even NASCAR can race in sub zero temps.
Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi Shark Edition Lacks Teeth (Aug 16, 2011) Eau natural, eh? The subtle blend of different yellows from sweat and beer. Look close enough and you'll see a blue eyed baby Jesus floating in the clouds.
The Fast and the Fugly: TH Automobile’s VW T5 (Aug 16, 2011) Any of you kiddies wanna sit on Kinko the Clown's lap, and massage his legs?!? He's oh so tired from handing out stale tootsie rolls and cigarettes to the little rugrats in the playground.
Kia Soul 1.6 CRDi Shark Edition Lacks Teeth (Aug 16, 2011) I buy my tanktops and wifebeaters from walmart. If you want a sexified farmer's tan, then look no further than your nearest 24 hour walmart. Get your limited edition NASCAR designs. Geehaww!!!
Video: 3-Seconds to 60mph Quimera AEGT Electric Racecar (Aug 16, 2011) So...can it perform in winter racing conditions? A real racer can handle ALL sorts of weather. How about I wait for those stats before I put this on any type of pedestal?
The Fast and the Fugly: TH Automobile’s VW T5 (Aug 16, 2011) As long as it ain't Microsoft...
The Fast and the Fugly: TH Automobile’s VW T5 (Aug 16, 2011) The TG transit van had Jag guts, but I see your point, Ian. This Porsche frankenstein science project is just as impractical (completely and utterly pointless) VW should learn to know it's limit with sportifying certain cars.
The Fast and the Fugly: TH Automobile’s VW T5 (Aug 16, 2011) Oops my mistake. I meant "Der Rapenshlikzen"
The Fast and the Fugly: TH Automobile’s VW T5 (Aug 16, 2011) Yeah...I could easily see the word "RAPE" painted across the side of this van
The Fast and the Fugly: TH Automobile’s VW T5 (Aug 16, 2011) Paint it in a rusty light blue and you've got the mostest child molesterier looking van for the time being.
Skoda Octavia vRS Bonneville Special Goes Fast (Aug 16, 2011) Of all low end priced cars, I love this brand! If I could have it my way, I would break all ties with Kia, and instead look towards the Czechs for better quality. Skodas are basically priced on par with Kia... Just better!
Skoda Octavia vRS Bonneville Special Goes Fast (Aug 16, 2011) Kudos to VW group! They'll sportify just about any of their brands, even their lowest of the entry level names.
Video: On Your Mark, Get Set, Tesla’s Go (Aug 16, 2011) I can proudly admit to taking sales away from tesla, leaf, and volt. But I'm only one person, and this world had lots of people that need education with this fact, which still remains somewhat hidden.
Video: On Your Mark, Get Set, Tesla’s Go (Aug 16, 2011) But as I implied, tesla owes the public a fair demonstration... for solid winter conditions! Right now, I've talked numerous people away from EV, because of their weakness to cold temps. Just that reason alone.
Bentley Looking To Return To Motorsports (Aug 15, 2011) Well duh, it's VW group.
James Bond Turns 50 in Style (Aug 15, 2011) I could've sworn that was an Aztek
Video: On Your Mark, Get Set, Tesla’s Go (Aug 15, 2011) I would like to see this thing test drive on a sub-zero snowy day in the mountains. Why not test the AWD system while climbing up an icy hill? Similar to an Audi Quattro test. (just curious...for shits and gigs)
Up for Auction: 700hp Galpin Boss 429-Inspired Mustang (Aug 13, 2011) Sponsor stickers...YUCK! For crying out loud, have the human decency to remove that filth before selling it. You've already killed the warranty, at least make up for it with a new paint job.
Nissan Murano CrossCab Most Disliked Car of 2011 (Aug 13, 2011) Aztek is a babe magnet! But the prius will seal the deal if you wanna bring her back home to your mom's basement. Viper ain't got nothin, compared to the Aztek: Pimp Ride!
Obama Admin. to Lay Proposed Fuel Standards for Larger Trucks (Aug 11, 2011) Thats just one side of the coin, Piston. When you flip it over, this policy hurts...no...RAPES our wallets. Im just a blue collar worker. If I had the choice between environment vs keeping my money.... I say F*CK mother nature!
Toyota Wants the Nurburgring EV Record Lap (Aug 11, 2011) The shopping basket will function like a wing for added downforce.
Toyota Wants the Nurburgring EV Record Lap (Aug 11, 2011) Rein & Patrick are both wrong The EV that will crush all records will be the Hovaround scooter.
Obama Admin. to Lay Proposed Fuel Standards for Larger Trucks (Aug 11, 2011) I shoulda voted for McCain...but that crazy bitch next to him was scaring the shit out of me Could you imagine a VP on menopause?!? She'd kill the pres, then kill us all. This is why our fore fathers didn't want a woman in office: Hormonal
Nissan Murano CrossCab Most Disliked Car of 2011 (Aug 11, 2011) Yeah..."special" alright. Like that kid who wears a helmet when eating dinner and rides the short white bus to school "special"
Nissan Murano CrossCab Most Disliked Car of 2011 (Aug 11, 2011) Retardedly gay doesn't begin to describe this POS. A grade schooler...nay... ...a toddler could design a better car A blind paraplegic crack baby could design better.
Japanese Market 2012 Toyota Camry Revealed? (Aug 11, 2011) This is the current Lexus ES
Second Generation Opel Ampera More Affordable (Aug 09, 2011) "better than the alternative" Please... Find me a detailed market analysis/study/test that proves EV is better than hydrogen, biodiesel, or methane. Paste the URL link right above my post.
$8 Million Sold-Gold Rolls-Royce Phantom EWB (Aug 09, 2011) Oh come on! It's either Dubai or Abu Dabi. Those are your only 2 options where you can find a "businessman" with that much money...and poor taste. It's predictable, if not expected.
Australian FPV GT Starts Production (Aug 09, 2011) IMO, if it's in-house, it still falls within the OEM limits
Australian FPV GT Starts Production (Aug 09, 2011) Its not "tuned", per se. This is FPV. (Ford's answer to HSV) You wouldn't call an SRT8/10 a "tuned" car, right? Or how about a ZL1...I don't consider that "tuned" Knowahmeen?!?
Australian FPV GT Starts Production (Aug 09, 2011) We have the Taurus SHO (a somewhat downgraded Falcon) but a decent comp to the Charger. Although I always lean more towards Mopar engineering
Australian FPV GT Starts Production (Aug 09, 2011) Americans are truly discontent. We are missing out on the HSV Clubsport and the FPV GT (and that's really it) Look at what we already got and be happy.
Mitsubishi Lancer AWD Version Looking To Reach 100,000 Units (Aug 09, 2011) Manjeet's issue is that the lancer AWD is retailing for more than $20k in India. Sticker price there is probably pushing $30k+, I'm guessing.
Mitsubishi Lancer AWD Version Looking To Reach 100,000 Units (Aug 09, 2011) So get the impreza. It's a formidable alternative
A Very Expensive Text Message: Hackers Unlock Subaru Using Android (Aug 08, 2011) Disable brakes? That's a whole new area for techie terrorism (or just straight assassins)
A Very Expensive Text Message: Hackers Unlock Subaru Using Android (Aug 08, 2011) Put this in perspective: Microsoft-ware is manufactured & preprogged in china (most of it) China...is america's #1 threat (potentially) They obviously have the recipe to hack&crash what they make.
A Very Expensive Text Message: Hackers Unlock Subaru Using Android (Aug 08, 2011) I can tell you (just based on common sense) who is most vulnerable... #1 on that list is Microsoft. (sorry ford! You should've contracted with the Google-droid people)
A Very Expensive Text Message: Hackers Unlock Subaru Using Android (Aug 08, 2011) Christ on a stick, Daniel... These 2 guys are definitely elite. Rule of thumb: The more people you have, the less time it will take.
A Very Expensive Text Message: Hackers Unlock Subaru Using Android (Aug 08, 2011) I'm thinking about getting me a fixer upper that has absolutely no CPU in it. That's just part of my apocalyptic-WW3-zombieuprisung-madmax survival plan
A Very Expensive Text Message: Hackers Unlock Subaru Using Android (Aug 08, 2011) Patrick already beat me to the punch with the "I told you so"s Speaking of...I was watching an old episode of Future Weapons on their demonstration of EMP bomb effects. Scary shit, I tell you. Scarier than hacker threats.
No Flying Cars?! No Flying Cars?! (Aug 08, 2011) So basically, before flying cars exist, we need laws to prevent these 3 groups from getting licenses.
No Flying Cars?! No Flying Cars?! (Aug 08, 2011) If we had flying car technology, then wouldn't auto-pilot technology also exist? Do we really want old farts, crippies, & wetbacks manually flying around?!? It's bad enough in our current situation with these road nuisances.
No Flying Cars?! No Flying Cars?! (Aug 08, 2011) Speaking for Gen X, I know that we're not responsible for ga$ increase or recession. I will, however, admit with utmost shame, that I am part of the MTV generation. My generation pioneered (not invented) the internet & mobile tech wave.
Video: Switzer 911 R750 vs. Switzer GT-R R850 (Aug 07, 2011) Meh...the Carshow is more entertaining and ORIGINAL...when compared to US TG.
Video: Switzer 911 R750 vs. Switzer GT-R R850 (Aug 06, 2011) So don't cite America top gear. Especially from that NASCAR dumbass.
Video: Switzer 911 R750 vs. Switzer GT-R R850 (Aug 06, 2011) It's not actually a hybrid in the works, but rather KERS. (and if you think I'm splitting hairs, you'd better start doing some homework)
Xplore Vehicles Reveal Toyota 4Runner Off-Road Kits (Aug 06, 2011) This outfitter needs to get its hands on a Hilux!!!! They do a pretty decent job.
First Look: Dodge Charger SRT8 (Aug 06, 2011) To say that a 2 door Charger would take away from Chally sales... that's just clumsy forecasting, considering no proper marketing survey was ever conducted. Nothing wrong with a little sibling rivalry, I say.
First Look: Dodge Charger SRT8 (Aug 06, 2011) Back in the 60s & 70s, Chrysler managed just fine in the sales dept with the Charger, Chally, Cuda, Runner, & GTX (while still competing with GM & Ford muscle) I really don't understand how things could be different if the Charger now was a 2 door.
First Look: Dodge Charger SRT8 (Aug 05, 2011) "pay to play" American gearheads don't live by that motto. Props to Merc, but I've got my heart set on a Chally.
Nissan Resurrecting the 200SX to Rival Mazda’s MX-5 (Aug 05, 2011) It's got a very phallic shape to it. like the Ferrari FF
Nissan Resurrecting the 200SX to Rival Mazda’s MX-5 (Aug 05, 2011) Seriously?!? Really?!? Again with the stupid base pricing per "£"?!? I'm pretty certain most of us here, speak in $
Chrysler Sales Heat Up In July (Aug 05, 2011) I've always loved Jeeps, and when the viper first came out, Chrysler really started to grab my attention. That's why I tend to be critical with them, the same way with a favorite athletic team.
Teaser: First Official Partial Photo of the 2012 Toyota Camry (Aug 05, 2011) Reminds me of just about EVERY single Asian family sedan out in the market for the last 10 years. MOST Asians look the same to me... ...so do most of their cars
Canada's Bruiser Gets A Facelift (Aug 05, 2011) "After a long day of killing zombies, I like to sit back & unwind with my PS3. No better place than in my own Knight XV... the ONLY choice for any 'practical man'! Don't settle for anything less practical & sensible."
2012 Buick Regal eAssist and GS Pricing Announced (Aug 05, 2011) HP doesn't mean a thing...especially with a family sedan. Are you gonna race it? You gonna tow something? How about offroading? If you said yes to any of these, DON'T buy a family sedan
Up for Auction: 1971 Viper-Powered Plymouth Barracuda Convertible (Aug 03, 2011) I'm probably one of the few who finds this ironic as the Shelby lineage is diluted in reverse
Up for Auction: 1971 Viper-Powered Plymouth Barracuda Convertible (Aug 03, 2011) 71 GTX (not to be mistaken with the roadrunner-GTX) Although the infamous "Hammer" is pretty badass.
There Can Be Only One: Chevy’s Centennial Smackdown (Aug 03, 2011) I still laugh when I think about the mock for what IROC stood for.
Report: Scion Pickup Coming in 2014 (Aug 03, 2011) The Carbuzz readers makes quite a fair representation of the automotive target market. I hope Toyota is reading this and dodges a bullet, by not building this. If anything, they should consider bringing the Hilux here
Report: Scion Pickup Coming in 2014 (Aug 03, 2011) You know what, Matt...you dont have to make any mods on this "truck" I already feel sick, just by looking at it.
Report: Scion Pickup Coming in 2014 (Aug 03, 2011) The style/design of the ridgeline & avalanche (alike), always looked too immature and juvenile for my taste. I won't doubt the quality under the hood, they just look ugly for me
Up for Auction: Ford Concepts for Charity (Aug 03, 2011) I turn my head for a Chally or Maro... Never for a vette or even a stang for that matter.
Official: Ford UK Makes 2012 Focus More Affordable (Aug 03, 2011) I would go with a Pearnecklace-white, Goldenshower-metallic, Donkeypunch-red, Strawberryshortcake-pink, and of course...a HotCarl-brown. Alaskapipeline-black can be used for the special editions.
Report: Volkswagen Pondering F1 (Aug 03, 2011) It'll probably be coming from Lambo.
Chrysler Sales Heat Up In July (Aug 03, 2011) Those charger-like headlights are really suitable for this new model.
Chrysler Sales Heat Up In July (Aug 03, 2011) Now...Chrysler just needs to dump the 200/Sebring. Give it up already!
Report: Scion Pickup Coming in 2014 (Aug 03, 2011) Toyota should market this as: "The truck for daddy's girl" ...cuz that's the only demo target they'll have any chance at! You reading this, Toyota?!?
Ford Stays N’SYNC and Drops Price by $100 (Aug 02, 2011) You're just having wishful thinking, if anything. But hey...whatever helps you sleep at night... intelematicstoday.com/2011/03/14/your-car-can-be-hacked-and-its-going-to-get-easier-to-do/ This article will give you nightmares
Ford Stays N’SYNC and Drops Price by $100 (Aug 02, 2011) Caleb's right. Hacking isn't only to steal information. Hackers do it for fun just to get a rise out of ruining people's day. There's no exact rhyme or reason for hacking. I would find it funny if SYNC owners were hacked. Hilarious!!
Ford Stays N’SYNC and Drops Price by $100 (Aug 02, 2011) I'm a MS hater, not a ford hater
