Making a Honda go fast, made easy!
Just goes to prove that the Asian's can build a reliable car that is non-inspiring, yet put American V8 in it and you finally have a car.

Industry News: Saudi man sentenced to beheading after reckless driving
WOW WOW WOW WOW Just proves that no matter what kind of car you have stupid is as stupid does. Amazing what they pushed those Honda's and Toyota's to do as they sure are not designed as drift cars. Makes you wonder what the truckers think of having idiots like this zip around. Course if the arabs would give the kids some freedom, they would not end up having problems like this. How stupid is it to be firing a gun as you go zipping along. Hope no one got hurt from the falling bullets.

And that's how it IS!
WOW, so you are saying that many of the SEMA show cars are destroyed? I thought the whole point of SEMA was to show off what the aftermarket could do with a production car that keeps it street legal. Still a shame for an early death of a car. I notice the Lexus was harder to crush than the Hyundia.

Fiat News: Fiat Working On Another Member Of The 500 Family
Yes I would agree that if they can have quality in the auto and capture that mini cooper desire at a far better price point they really could eat Mini Coopers lunch. Next year will be the telling point when JD powers has their quality survey and we see where Fiat lands in comparison to Mini. Course not much would need to be done to beat Mini at they are at the bottom of the quality report. I just hope Jeep gets a solid 4x4 that does not hurt them. Over all I still hate the design language of their whole 500 line, but this SUV 500 is by far the best looking.

SHOCKER: ocnblu goes green!
Good luck, Any person especially our politicial morons regardless of party that says we had only a recession is smoking way too much of the illegal stuff as our country has been in a depression since 2007. For those that want to say unemployement has gone done, WRONG, thank you for playing, the number has gone down due to the people who have run out of benefits and now no longer bother reporting since they get nothing for reporting that they still do not have jobs.

Rare Bricklin prototype found...
If it is based on the first generation Chrysler 300 then he did an upgrade.

Interesting that the video is marked as an illegal street racing car. I see a Hyundia Genesis 2011 also. I wish they would post why the cars are being destroyed, it is such a sad waste.

IF you could afford any car...
I agree, that makes it very hard, but if I had to choose a car, guess it would be an SUV still but maybe a FORD which I would not feel bad about rusting out due to the RoadSalt. I would hate to have this happen to my Escalade.

I'm developing a Corvair fetish...
SWEET, That is a freakin awesome car. My grandpa had a corvair, factory stock in mint condition, he bought it, drove it for a couple hundred miles and then kept it stored. I was supposed to get it, but in his 90's he decided to sell it to a collector for the money to support himself. Cannot blame him. It was a light blue.

How to put a Chrysler 300 in your garage..
No Not at all, they use small hooks on the plywood and then build the bricks up in front and every so often you have a tab that gets imbedded into the brick wall. Sadly when you run into it, the brick will fall down like that and leave the exposed subwall. Amazing, looks like a Georgia plate. Silly southern boys, they should know better than to try parallel parking in front of the house.

I agree Ocnblu, this is the best looking of all the fiats to date. I hope when Jeep takes the foundation of this small vehicle and builds a small trail rated 4x4 that they nail it with quality.

Mini News: Mini To Name Countryman Coupe The Paceman
But who cares if they cannot get them built with Quality. Being at the bottom of the Quality pile based on the JD Powers Report, 157 defects per 100 cars built. That means at least 2 defects per car on 50% of them built. That is terrible. Now they are going to build this and it implies to me that the defect level will go up. I have little faith they can build a car to last. No wonder I see so many 1 or 2 year old mini's on dealership lots. My wife loves the size and style, but I would not risk her life in one ever with their lack of quality. Plus as I told her, it is not American made. English made but not American.

While the EVO has a cult following, I would say that both Mitsu and Suzuki are two car companies best left to a quite death. Yes variety adds spice, but these companies no one would really miss if they went out of business. Makes you wonder how much of the Yakuza are involved in keeping struggling businesses like this afloat for some alternative reason.

Fiat News: Fiat Working On Another Member Of The 500 Family
This will be interesting as it might based on the Autoweek single picture of it in silver be the first model that I might like. Course they should have left out that it is being built at the plant that used to build Yugo's. Not a great way to build credibility when you have a plant known for building the worst built car and you have quality problems of your own. Good luck to them, they will need it.

Has anyone seen the new XTS commercials?
I have to disagree with your statement. The German trio have a few cars that are above the CTS with interiors that are very nice, but in the same size/price range, the current CTS is very competitive.
