"with maybe half of those being GM vehicles."

Half? Maybe now, but not once major competitors start pushing their own plug-ins. GM better make the most of their lead in the plug-in market while they have it, because once others match the Volt's drive train, GM's quality and the Volt's Delta II chassis will be severely outmatched.

Rear torsion bar suspension - how pathetic!

The worst part is, a bunch a kids will buy this car and think they hang with the big boys because they have the horsepower, not understanding that they lack the handling.

2L 4-cylinder? That's probably why it isn't being sold in the U.S. Americans need a big V8 to b̶o̶o̶s̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶i̶r̶ ̶e̶g̶o̶̶s haul their groceries.

Top Gear intentionally builds obtuse and crappy cars for entertainment, not information.

REPORT: BMW using money saved from F1 pullout for more product placement

Nov 25th 2009 12:42PM on Autoblog

F1 R&D is supposed to trickle down into consumer products. But that seems to work as well as trickle-down Reaganomics.

"Ghost In The Shell 2.0"

Not to be confused with Ghost In The Shell: Innocence, Ghost In The Shell Vol. 2, or Ghost In The Shell 2nd Gig. They've bungled the Ghost In The Shell nomenclature so that only a hard core fan will know what this is!

This would be awesome... if it was from a different company so that we could have a choice of television provider.

I love the photo, but something about a Caterham driving on the left side of the road doesn't seem appropriate for a post about driving in the U.S..

"What's the best gaming laptop for under 1,500 bucks? I had my eye on the P7805u (Gateway), but it seems Best Buy has run out for the time being. Also, as a secondary question, I like the specs on brands such as iBUYPOWER and CyberPower and the like, but are they reliable? I'm a little worried about buying labels that aren't huge like Dell, Gateway, etc. Thanks!"
