    In reply to The Lexus LFA Sounds Like $400,000
    Great mechanicals, but for that money the styling is decidedly ho-hum. Or worse. Love or hate the Ferraris and Lambos as they evolve, but at least someone's trying to design a sports car that produces some tingling in the crotchial area. This car-along with the GT-R that it's apparently trying to one-up-has all the sexual pedigree of a riced-up Subaru. Just a big, big No.

    Is that a freakin' mouse cursor on the gauges of a car? Man, is that progress, or what?

    @bzr: I'm pretty sure what you're seeing is not the gauges of the car, but a computer application that plays recordings of the engine sounds. Did you read the words that the mouse clicks on? Do you really think that when you want to accelerate, you have to click on accelerate? Or when you want to downshift, you have to click on downshift?

    No, that's just a Hyundai Genesis that was left alone for about an hour in downtown Detroit.

    I probably should have gone with Oakland (#1 per capita in motor vehicle theft) rather than relatively safer Detroit (which is only #2).

    Before I watch the video, let me just say IMHO this is the ideal state for a Hyundai to be in...thousands of pieces, because when it's like this, it doesn't work, which means it isn't sucking the soul out of anyone.

    hahaha... maybe you should look up the Genesis? If it sucks your soul, then it must be mystical Korean juju, because it's not lacking as a car.

    Haven't watched the vid, yet, but I can say, the old Real-Time 4WD tall wagons were amazing in deep snow.

    Nothing like driving a Grand Cherokee with QuadraTrac, good BFG A/T's, oversized, and having to take two runs at an unplowed "street" when the Honda manages it in one.

    Mass is a bad thing in some sit-chi-ations.
