Lock & Load: CTS-V to go hunting in Europe after all {Autoblog}
Jul 14th 2008 6:03PM Vintage: I guess by that logic UK drivers can never pass anyone/anything when they drive around in Europe. I have seen many videos from Top Gear, Evo, Fifth Gear, and YouTube that prove otherwise
Ford working on high-performance Fusion GT, EcoBoost 'Stang on hold {Autoblog}
Jul 7th 2008 5:09PM snake:
While Haldex is fine for soccer moms who will never floor it and who are not looking for performance, this article is talking about a HIGH PERFORMANCE fusion. I am doubting many soccer moms are going to be looking at this specific model, and in this specific model, the drivetrain chosen seem sub par.
In The Autoblog Garage: BMW 128i Convertible {Autoblog}
Jun 29th 2008 5:30PM The G8, in almost every review that I have read, has bmw 5 series comparable handling. It may not be quicker than a 1 series, but will keep up quite nicely, while still allowing a human being with legs to sit in the back seat behind the driver.
Man gets bored, builds Family Truckster {Autoblog}
Jun 12th 2008 2:38PM See I am torn. This vehicle is cool because of its role in a brilliant film.
This vehicle sucks though because I think it's the leading reason why Americans hate station wagons and buy SUVs instead.
Number of sub-$15k cars in U.S. falls by one-third {Autoblog}
Jun 11th 2008 10:04AM A quick search on Vehix shows that the Ford Focus should get off the lot under 15K, wonder why it's not on the list
2008 Canadian Grand Prix: Pit Stops & Potholes (and Spoilers -- Beware) {Autoblog}
Jun 9th 2008 9:10AM I don't know if you have seen Hamilton in some of his less .. "important" interviews but he is young and having fun racing and as such speaks way off the cuff about certain topics.
I am VERY sure this is something PR told him to say and he didn't want to stray too far as the team (you know the guys that give him the opportunity to drive) was already mad at him for throwing a race he should have had in the bag.
2008 Canadian Grand Prix: Pit Stops & Potholes (and Spoilers -- Beware) {Autoblog}
Jun 9th 2008 9:00AM I am actually a fan of prodrive and loved how they were progressing with the car. Then Honda unceremoniously showed them the door and decided that they wanted it a full honda effort for the first win (not a Honda / Prodrive effort). Makes COMPLETE sense, and from a business perspective I understand.
.... I still relish when they have a bad season though....
Clarion to introduce GPS-equipped MiND, acronym guidebook lands another {Engadget}
Jun 6th 2008 10:25AM I call shenanigans! Just because you can't figure out some way to actually make your product stand out of the crowd through hardware or software ingenuity does NOT give you the right to come up with a stupid acronym!
Sigh. Pontiac G3 may be headed for U.S. {Autoblog}
Jun 2nd 2008 4:21PM So by that logic the only people that should have performance should be luxury? Or are you thinking performance enthusiasts would have to be content with special versions of whatever sedan / econobox chevy offers?
Staples to stock Flexplay self-destructing DVDs {Engadget}
Jun 2nd 2008 9:59AM What I actually like about these posts is the list of alternatives that come out in the comment section.
Question though: If people are willing to pay $ 2 / 3 for a rental from amazon unbox or itunes. Why wouldn't they $2 / 3 more for a physical disk that could.. i don't know.. be taken to a friend's place for movie night or lent out to a neighbor or what not. The flexibility of it being physical media that is immediately available (impulse watching and Netflix mailings do not work well together) should be worth a few bucks.
Not saying it's a brilliant idea (redbox looks cool) but I can see where it would be useful.
