Yeah, they actually had to force the issue to allow the Challenger to not have the cross grille.

Jeep, you confuse the fuck out of everyone.
I don't get the criticism. The Grand Cherokee looks fine. The Cherokee, yes, that is pretty ugly. But reilo's picture is of a Grand Cherokee. Are you saying it's confusing because of the names?

So Nissan announced that they're expanding NISMO and finally giving the US some proper offerings.
That includes a NISMO GT-R. How the hell do you make a GT-R better performance wise?

Pretty cool, I thought they sold a Nismo 350z in the US at one point?
As for the GTR, It could use more track related improvements, which is what I think its going to be.

I really thought that it was a photoshop...what were they thinking?
It looks like they looked at an LR Evoque and asked, "how can we make this look like something Walter White would drive?"

Just saw an NSX parked in my neighborhood. Now I want an NSX.

Yeah, a NISMO 370Z is still available now, but I think they used to offer more than just the one model, even if it was pretty much the most reasonable one.
The new lineup will be starting things off with the NISMO Juke. Yay.... .__.

So, I decided to go into my garage today to check the battery in my old 77 Silverado. Turned the key, saw light, cranked the motor, and that stubborn old 350 roared to life and purred like a kitten.

McLaren P1 Official Photos
That might be the first electronic cluster that doesn't look like a 90s website designed by a blind aardvark.
no one likes the Reventon gauge clutster
it looks like equations or something. i dont wanna math when i drive. >.<!!
it's fine in motion. I have Forza to thank for seeing it because otherwise I would have never found it.
edit:
here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMopzWyDW1I

Goddamn that P1 is delicious. I hope McLaren shits on Ferrari.

With the specs and everything the P1 has going for it, I'm predicting a SUB 1m10s time around the Top Gear track when it gets its shot. I'll go so far as to peg it for going sub 7m on the Nürb too.
That thing is just amazing. The minimalist look of the interior is so great. I just love the way McLaren is doing things these days. Leave the flash and sexy for Ferrari and Pagani, they just want high-tech speed and performance. I love it.

It looks like that Mazda concept. I mean that as a compliment.

Oh man. I got to ride around a racetrack is one of these. a bright red Porsche GT2. The driver fitted a set of slicks he had in his garage. He also has an 80's Porsche Turbo classic. We were lapping Modenas and Gallardos. That was a very good day.
The racetrack was around Cresson, Texas.

No, instead it looks like a digital gauge from some crappy American car from 70s when gauges like that tried to be the thing. Also the font used (Bank Gothic) practically screams 90s.
I could see them doing a hard top coupe, possibly with less options, but I don't know about the smaller engine.

I had not actually seen that before. I swear I actually thought it was a car from the 80s until I read below. What were they going?!

I think a version of the C7 at 40k would definitely cannibalize sales of Camaro SS's and 1LE's, but its still a 10k price difference between the two.
GM has done this in the past with corvettes. They offered the 327 on the C3's for a while.

That looks stupid. I don't mind digital gauges as a lot of motorcycles do and it's alright but auto manufacturers seem to go always go the kitchen sink route.

Chris Harris takes the 2014 Cayman for a test drive. I envy that guy's job.
Gorgeous car and it looks like a ton of fun.

Um Mazda 3. But consider a Honda Fit and a Ford Focus.
My sister recently picked up a Chevy Sonic Turbo. I only drove it a bit, but it seemed decently fun for an econobox. Tough to tell about reliability yet, but the same goes for the Dart.
Along with these, there's also the Ford Fiesta, which is a bit smaller and cheaper than the Focus.
I think you can also pick up a Scion tC for that amount of money and since it shares parts with a Toyota Corolla they are very reliable cars. Like the other cars on your list it's more "sporty" than true sports but it would be a good car for the money.

The FT86 "Open Concept" is official now, and will be fully unveiled at Geneva. This looks much better than I would have expected. I'm always apprehensive when coupes get made into drop-tops, but this actually has decent lines with the top down. I'm not the target buyer for this type of vehicle, but with the way the Miata still sells very well, giving people another option in that market can't hurt.

Nifty little car. Thanks for sharing
so is this thing designed from the ground up to be a roadster or is it just the fr-s with the roof cut off and some reinforcement added?

Insurance is way high on the tc.
I second a Mazda 3.
I still prefer the Miata over the FR-S.

man, mazda came so close with the cx5. no manual tranny for the awd version and a kinda slow engine. at least it's fairly lightweight for what it is.
so close mazda. maybe next years model will be better.

I don't know officially, but my guess would be the latter. I'm sure, given how long this car was in development, making a convertible version was brought up at some point, but the main emphasis was certainly a coupe first. So yea, it will most likely be a bit heavier, and not handle quite as well, but I'm not sure the buyer for a car like this would care much about either of those "negative" issues. For a nice looking, decent handling, relatively inexpensive convertible, this car looks pretty good. Again, not my type of car, but should do nicely when it becomes real.
