<title>Hooniverse : Hooniverse Asks- What Should the Next Thunderbird be Like? </title>

<description>But if they have 2 good RWD platforms to use, why not make a variation of one? If the Taurus platform is a heavily modded Volvo, i don&amp;#039;t see why they can&amp;#039;t heavily modify the aussie Cougar to meet US and Europe standards and have both the Tbird and a new Crown Vic and Lincoln out of it. Recycling and regurgitating anciet platforms is, in my mind, worse and doing so with good designs </description>

<description>That&amp;#039;s actually a good idea, but like the BMW it should have coup&amp;eacute; and convertible variants and they could be 2+2 or even 2 seaters. It shgould definetly slot above the Stang and get a SVT version with the Supachaged 5.8. To, you know, stuff it in the germans&amp;#039; noses </description>

<description>Here&amp;#039;s the thing about retro: It looked good once, it can look good again. The beetle is a good example. All of them are endearing in their own right. Personally, I would like to own one the latest Turbo models. Great bang for the buck here in Brazil, specially considering it&amp;#039;s 15% more than a 2.slow MkIV Golf that we still get. Houses are made to look like a certain period, tv, fridges, even the iPhone hasn&amp;#039;t changed all that much.  What is it you say, &amp;quot;the form makes the product&amp;quot;? Exactly. It doesn&amp;#039;t matter the reson people like it. I like the new Mustang and Challenger. I like the Camaro a bit less, but the last Tbird I liked a lot. The inner 70 year old in me loved it. And I&amp;#039;m only 25. I am into tweaking cars a bit, like putting on the right wheels, some eibachs or konis, maybe. That Tbird has potential for me. Look at what Foose did. You may now punch me in the face.  But before I go: GT+Blackwood+Raptor? Really? What do you mean? </description>

<title>The Smoking Tire : Review: 3,694 Miles in a GMC Sierra 2500HD Denali</title>
<link>http://www.thesmokingtire.com/2012/review-3694-miles-in-a-gmc-sierra-2500hd-denali/#IDComment413350999</link>
<description>I~m pretty sure a Raptor can tow more than a couple of jet skis. Down here in Brazil, people tow jet skis with 1.6 VW Gols, Golfs, Fiat Palios and so on. They two up to 27 foot boats in old gasoline Chevy S10s and Rangers. That said, a V8 is always better. </description>

<title>Hooniverse : Truck Thursday: 2013 Mazda BT-50 - The Small Pickup We Can&#039;t Have</title>
<link>http://hooniverse.com/2012/06/21/truck-thursday-2013-mazda-bt-50-the-small-pickup-we-cant-have/#IDComment386859634</link>
<description>Look at the flipside:  While we get all the small pickups here in Brazil, the only fullsizer we get is the Ram 2500.  Now, I love that thing and will own one some day and the roads along with it (here in my corner of the country, size REALLY matters).   BUT, having the diesel means having to have the 2500 trim, which adds higher suspension, smaller wheels, a aller bonnet and the necessity to upgrade one&amp;acute;s driver&amp;acute;s license to a &amp;quot;C&amp;quot;.  I wish we could have the diesel in the 1500- better in every way.  Better yet, I wish we could have V8s, all the fullsizers with V8s....including your sedans.  I am so bored by 4 cilinders and diesels...they are just everywhere. </description>

<title>Noticias Automotivas : Mitsubishi Pajero Sport V6 Flex: algo um pouco diferente em seu segmento</title>

<description>Particularmente, um dos meus sonhos automotivos &amp;eacute; pegar uma Executive com o 1o facelift pra mexer de leve. E tamb&amp;eacute;m juntar 2 daqueles V6 4.3 num V12 gigante, fazer blueprint, coroar com um supercharger e colocar o resultado numa r&amp;eacute;plica modernizada de um Lambo 400 GT ou uma 250 GTL </description>

<description>N&amp;atilde;o estou preso no passado, meu estimado leitor. Eu j&amp;aacute; dirigi uma Captiva V6 e realmente &amp;eacute; um &amp;oacute;timo carro. Assim como a Edge. Ali&amp;aacute;s, eu INDIQUEI que um tio meu comprasse a Captiva e mais recentemente a Edge estava entre as 3 que indiquei para outro tio. A quest&amp;atilde;o &amp;eacute; que dirigir pra mim n&amp;atilde;o &amp;eacute; s&amp;oacute; ir de um ponto a outro. &amp;Eacute; toda e qualquer sensa&amp;ccedil;&amp;atilde;o: a entrega de pot&amp;ecirc;ncia (e n&amp;atilde;o s&amp;oacute; a quantidade), qu&amp;atilde;o progressiva &amp;eacute; a embreagem, como &amp;eacute; o c&amp;acirc;mbio, a suspens&amp;atilde;o, a dire&amp;ccedil;&amp;atilde;o e por a&amp;iacute; vai. S&amp;atilde;o carros diferentes para p&amp;uacute;blicos diferentes. Mas se n&amp;atilde;o pode fugir do fato que crossovers s&amp;atilde;o baseados em carros; s&amp;atilde;o minivans com estilo diferente e rodas grandes. Eu sei respeitar quem precisa de espa&amp;ccedil;o. Mas quem realmente s&amp;oacute; quem mais espa&amp;ccedil;o vai atr&amp;aacute;s de uma station-wagon. Ou uma minivan. Ambas mais eficientes, baratas e dinamicamente melhores por fatores inerentes aos seus projetos. A Pajero &amp;eacute; uma compra ditada pelo ego tanto quanto um crossover. Qualquer um deles. E sim, sou um puritano. N&amp;atilde;o gosto de carros que mandam em mim. </description>

<description>80 km/h n&amp;atilde;o &amp;eacute; uma baixa velocidade. Uma guinada violenta no volante vai desbalancear qualquer carro, eu te garanto. Como carros altos e pesados tem centros de gravidade altos, o que compromete a estabilidade.experimente dar uma guinada violenta a 20 km/h num lugar seguro e sozinho e multiplique por 16 vezes o efeito. Sim, &amp;eacute; exponencial. N&amp;atilde;o vi o acidente e n&amp;atilde;o posso julg&amp;aacute;-lo, mas dizer que em qualquer a culpa &amp;eacute; s&amp;oacute; do carro &amp;eacute; simplista. </description>

<description>Eu dirigi um 850 Ci mec&amp;acirc;nico nos EUA enquanto estudava design de carro na California. Nem parecem ser &amp;quot;s&amp;oacute;&amp;quot; 306 cv. Muito forte. de 4a marcha, a 3000 rpm ele j&amp;aacute; est&amp;aacute; a 70 milhas por hora. Me deixei convencer a compram uma 740 iL 95 ao inv&amp;eacute;s do coup&amp;eacute; 94 e me arrependo amargamente at&amp;eacute; hoje. </description>

<title>The Smoking Tire : 2012 Camaro ZL-1; Horsepower Bribery</title>
<link>http://www.thesmokingtire.com/2011/2012-camaro-zl-1-horsepower-bribery/#IDComment130241253</link>
<description>You americans complain waaaaay too much. You guys should try having to pay the equivalent of US$ 62.250,00 for a Honda Civic Si - that by the by is some 5 ponies down on your version version IF run on high octane gar, otherwise it&amp;#039;s 8 down -living in a market where not one fast car sells even remotely well and the only whiff of having a national V8 was actually imported and then we&amp;#039;ll talk. The simple fact that you can actually get a Camaro if your not a millionaire should give you joy. Hell, just that it is being nuilt and you have horsepower wars going on right now should make you grin everyday. You can get a Ram with  a 390 horsepower V8 for under 25 thousand dollars. You know what truck that money buys you in Brazil? A Chevy S10 - yeah, that one from the 90&amp;#039;s only with a facelift.   So stop your whining and if you&amp;#039;re displeased with it, by all means, feel free to hand me the keys. </description>

<description>In what world is using a Vanquish twice for your viewer&amp;#039;s pleasure moving backwards? You don&amp;#039;t even have to drive it. Just use it in a scene&amp;#039;s composition and you&amp;#039;ll make my day. Any day we see a Vanquish form a new angle is a good day. Not everybody has one like you, you know? Put it this way: think of the woman you consider to be the most beautiful. Now think: if you saw her in every episode of one of your favorite shows, would you complain? would it get too old too quickly? Would it be moving backwards? </description>
