The 2015 Volkswagen Golf R Is Proof VW Doesn't Really Hate Us
"Volkswagen doesn't understand America." That's what the critics like to say.

No automaker has fanboys like Land Rover. You've seen those dorks walking around with "LANDROVER" tote bags and tennis sweat bands. But then you've got to see the 2014 Range Rover because it's perfect, it can do anything, and you are no match for its powers of seduction.

People who hang out with me are often surprised when I look past something like a Ferrari 458 to the mint Pontiac Fiero behind it but, like most car enthusiasts, I prize a unicorn over stallion. What car do you never see on the road anymore that you'd love to see in person?

Billionaire robot-hater Elon Musk is known for having a pretty short temper and a pretty big ego.

Ford, like most American car companies, is known for being pretty progressive. It's so progressive, in fact, that it was rated one of the best places to work in 2015 by the Human Rights Campaign.
