I’m telling you, it happens. Had a few customers looking at V60 Cross Countries which granted is on an old platform, decided to get a fully loaded Outback instead. The same thing with the Q5, folks admitted it was nicer but not $10,000 nicer than a top trim Forester. These are folks that can “afford” luxury cars but Read more

Um.... use a tripod and lower the shutter speed? Some of these look great, and I’m generally fond of a little underexposure, but... they do look too dark overall, imo. But you got to drive this amazing car and take pictures of it... I didn’t, so... Read more

I am not a fan of black and gold on cars, but holy shit does this thing look amazing. Especially in the lighting in that first shot. Read more

240 HP out of a 3.0 is pretty nice. Glad to see a review of a “normal” fun car - anyone can buy one of these things for around 30k and spend the next 20 years making it into something like your version of this. They also feel pretty special right out of the box before you do a bunch of cool stuff. The first time I got Read more

I imagine an influx of a massive amount of vehicles into the markets in the next decade. Hell, the most recent Read more

I’m very excited for the day when our generation is spending six figures on, like, a “third off the line” Honda Prelude SH at auction. Read more

You know why the STi is still relevant? Some of us do track days. The STi is one of the few cars in that price range that is built to take this abuse. The Focus RS was a failure for that, thanks to the flimsy diff. Anyone buying a newer car for the track knows this is the best choice. Read more

I could say the mysticism started when the WRX came over in late 2001, but I’d be lying. The 2.5 RS is genesis as far as the US goes:

The STI really shines in the snow, that’s where the DCCD settings get fun to play with. Read more
