@AmishJohn: Bull. Spotted in the past three days, all south of Houston: Morgan, 2CV, Gallardo. And I wasn't even looking. Read more

@cobrajoe: I grew up in the south, went to school in St. Louis, lived in Chicago for three years, and then spent three years in Detroit. I didn't move to California until a year and a half ago, at which point my head exploded from the vehicular overdose. Believe me, I feel your pain. Read more

@pres: Two words: Source. Interlink. Read more

@luisthebeast: Want to let us drive it and write about it? Read more

@Scandinavian Flick: Everybody's gotta try new things, right? Besides, I've gotten a LOT of car awesomitude over the past few years, and most of it has been dumped on my doorstep. Figured having to work for it might not be a bad thing. Read more

@Adam Spano: Very true. But because it's on eBay, I can at least pretend to buy it. Read more

@Jeremy: Launches like these are notoriously close-quartered. In this case, I couldn't get more than three feet away from the car without being mobbed by people. Auto shows are often the same way, which is why we shoot a lot of stuff much, much wider than we'd like. Read more

@wætherman: True. But the current/last Jetta is/was a great car, and one of the better small family sedans on the market. Consider us cautiously optimistic, but adding 3.5 inches in length and removing the Golf connection — this from a company that has publicly stated that it wants to approach Toyotaesque sales volume… Read more

@averyrm: Gorilla pod, won't hold heavy DSLR and pro-level ball head, flies off at speed, not high enough, not sturdy enough. But good thought. Read more

@add_liteness: Drive one. You'll change your mind. Read more

@accipiter: You can buy used Boxsters for $10k all day long. That's cheap. Even the tattiest running 911—and we're talking twenty-year-old-cars here—is a $15-$20k car. Cheap is relative. Read more

@Sam Smith: Oh, and the camera was about three feet above my head. Read more

@mickopalak001: Yeah, but sometimes, carpets/more than two airbags/crush zones/trunk space/practicality is nice. Not all the time, mind, but sometimes. Read more

@Adam Spano: And for damn near twice the price, they should have been. Read more

@snapoversteer's walking around eating his Triscuits: Fine, fine, I'll yank it. Good point. Read more

@tempesjo: I'll never tell... Read more

@dal20402 just can't shake the XLR-V itch: Hey! Hardigree lives in Texas. Just, you know, sayin'. Read more

@spill: Check my comment below; most of it is in there. Read more

OK, you made me check the EXIF. Canon 10D (it was the office camera at the magazine I worked for at the time), ISO 100, f/5.6, 1/90. Zoom of some sort set to 70mm.
