That link isn't loading for me, but it looks like it's a WRX...which is an incredibly fast car and nice handling for what little money you pay. For whatever reason Subaru doesn't get much respect, but they're some of the best cars on the road.
Yesterday I drove through a Ford dealership to check out the new Ford Mustang. In all honesty I hate pretty much everything made by Ford, but they hit a homerun with this new Mustang. Beautiful car.

It's not just a WRX, its a WRX STi... 300HP stock  And the stangs are the same way with me... I actually like 'em. I think the Cobra is supposed to have like 400HP when it comes out. |

Yeah, I heard they were going to produce a Cobra.
As it stands right now, the V8 Mustang Coupe costs about $20k less than a Corvette, looks a hell of a lot nicer (not like a Ferrari rip off), and goes 0-60 .05 seconds slower than the new Vette. Of course, the GTO smokes both of these cars in the speed department, but it's so retardedly ugly and overpriced that I wouldn't even consider it. The Cobra is going to absolutely destroy both of these cars...I'm just a little concerned about the price. If it's in the price range of a GTO, it's going to be a no-brainer.
Ford generally makes shit, but this Mustang is the nicest car they've made since...nothing in my lifetime.

my folks just traded in there peice of shit ford focus SE for a dodge durango .What a peice of shit that ford focus SE was. fuck that car was a gay pile of rubbish. but this new dogde is fucking great. all the power you need (V8 5.9L 300+ HP 4x4) it's it had leather seating 3 rows of seat it's comfy and I don't mean to brag but it costed $51,000. I was driving it yesterday wow what a difference.

The Durango never impressed me much, but that 360 is a hell of an engine. They sound really nice and last forever.
EDIT: And yeah, those Focus' are pretty much shit. I don't understand why Ford did away with the Escort, as sadly that was the most reliable car they produced.

I'd say the new F-150 is probably the best truck/SUV they've come up in a long time, but that's not saying much.
I actually think the state of trucks today is very sad with the exception of Dodge and Chevy (not including the Colorado which was a piss poor replacement for the S-10). The new Ridgeline is a fucking joke, the Titan and F-series are marginally alright at best, and Toyota needs to stick to building cars. I haven't driven the new Lincoln truck yet, but I'm going to have to assume it's going to be just like everything else produced by Lincoln with the exception of the LS...overpriced, uninspired, and attractive only to fat, smelly women.
Jeep is working on a truck called the Gladiator. Should they produce a crew cab model, my Avalanche is as good as traded in. They've been dropping the ball on some new designs (Liberty, new Grand Cherokee, upcoming Commander), but they have some really nice things in the works (Gladiator, Hurricane, Rescue).

For one thing, the old Mustang pales in comparison to the newer models. For another, my daily driver used to be a Mustang, and it was easily the worst car I've ever owned for winter driving. I can only imagine how bad it would be in Manitoba.

Actually, there are some things that are cool about Canada. NardwuarYes! Nardwuar is awesome. Have you heard that interview he did with Henry Rollins? Rollins was getting kind of pissed during the interview because the guy was just asking him all this obscure shit from his Black Flag days, so Rollins basically tells him to just ask two more questions because he's not going to dub around all day listening to his shit. So Nardwuar peices together like 20 questions all at once without letting Rollins talk, and then gives him a Power Bar. Best Henry Rollins interview ever. I need to find the audio for that. EDIT: That was easier than I thought. You can read, listen to, and/or watch the interview here. |

You think we're all a bunch of Bush-loving, terrorist-fighting, flag-flying rednecks with giant cars who waste everything in sight. Ball's in your court, dumbass. |
