    If you were buying again DSG or MT

    This is ultimately a debate of semantics and as long as people are going to define a manual/automatic their own way, it's not going to be settled. Here's my $0.02: the DSG has the mechanical parts of a manual transmission, but it can still do the shifting for you. You have the option to tell it...

    If you were buying again DSG or MT

    Manual for me. I traded in my manual 2010 GTI a long while back and had a few cars after it. I missed that manual GTI the entire time. Went shopping last summer and found a nice leftover 2019 (hurray longer warranty!) but it was a DSG. It was slim pickings for a manual when I was shopping so I...

    Fall!

    fall is my favorite season of the year! I'm ready for some nice drives with the windows down in forested areas with the leaves turning different colors.

    Electric Smart ForTwo (LOLOLOLOL)

    I read Edmunds Inside Line every day and I couldn't help but post this up. http://blogs.insideline.com/straightline/2011/05/il-track-tested-2011-smart-fortwo-electric-drive-passion.html Summary numbers: Acceleration 0-30 (sec): 5.6 0-45 (sec): 11.4 0-60 (sec): 22.4 0-60 with 1-ft Rollout...

    Mosler 'Land Shark'... it's a beast.

    http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=19883 Click the link for full specs and such. It's gotta be one of the most heavily modified cars I've ever seen/read about. After all, it makes 2500 hp. The guy claims he has Michael Schumacher lined up for a test drive around the 'Ring, but...

    2009 Mazda 6 driver, random complaining/ranting

    All right, had to get this out there because it's been annoying the crap out of me. I was pulling out of my parking spot in a parking garage as I was leaving campus for the day. As I was turning my car to go forward I hear this car going full throttle coming right at car from behind. I look in...

    Nissan GTR reprogrammed to 'fix' transmission failures.

    http://blogs.edmunds.com/roadtests/2009/02/2009-nissan-gt-r-reprogrammed-our-gt-r-gets-quicker.html So it seems that after the reprogramming, the car is now faster with the VDC on or off than it was before being reprogrammed. Nissan offered to reprogram the cars so that people could use launch...

    The Count is rather vulgar!

    If you haven't seen this, you'll probably find this pretty funny: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-Wd-Q3F8KM If you've already seen it, you'll probably still laugh at it!

    GT-R failures, blown out of proportion?

    I'd say they have been: http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Features/articleId=140966?tid=edmunds.il.home.photopanel..1.* It was an unfortunate victim of web message boards and news sites where people will tend to only say something if something has gone wrong, not if something has gone right...

    Nissan 370Z vs. BMW 135i

    http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/Comparos/articleId=137806 That 370Z is looking REALLY nice. Porsche Cayman performance for 30-40 grand less in price! And from what Edmunds.com seems to think, better than the 135i. Granted, the 135i does do certain things better that other people may...
