"A 5 speed manual isn't very futurist, companies need to start following Nissan's lead with 6 speeds."

no_slushbox commented on Can You Afford A Corvette ZR1?

"Unless you are rich, which under $100K a year isn't, there is no point in paying $120K+ for a ZR-1 when a regular 'vette is 80% of what a ZR-1 is for 33% of the price (a base 'vette for a transaction price of $40K would not be hard to find)."

no_slushbox commented on Can You Come Up With A Better Auto Product Placement Plot?

"I would like to see competitor sponsored product placement. For example, a show, sponsored by Audi, where a serial killer goes from state to state tracking down women in his BMW 335i, killing them, and then driving around in his BMW 335i wearing their heads as hats. Or a show sponsored by Honda about a guy that drives a Corolla, lives in his mom's basement, and never gets laid. Or a show sponsored by GM about the life of a man paralyzed in the accident that he had in his Ford pickup. If companies placed their competitor's products in the shows I can guarantee that the shows would be much more interesting."
