I'd forgotten about the submarine test drive!

I also remember when they did the test drive of that amphibious motor home thing made out of the fuselage of an old airliner...

I still think their writing and reviews have gone down hill in recent years. To me they're more the comic book of auto magazines...they have the best writers, but the substance of the articles is often lacking...

With all the wars in the Middle East I'm surprised they haven't done a review of the Scud missle vs. a Patriot...

It's just freakin awesome. Makes me pretty chuffed.

I can read any article about the S... even the critical ones. I have only read a few that make me think, "WTF car were you driving?"

This one though.... Baby! Sounds like we drive a pretty nice car.

BTW... is it the Aug edition of CnD? I looked for it at the Safeway and they only had JUly. Didn't look like that one.

Its about time they forgot all about voting the new kid on the block as #1, and did some honest comparing. Still, I'd like to know what 'ammenities' is based on. Think about it, the car has power windows, locks, keyless entry, A/C, am/fm/cd, power top, digital dash, HID lights, leather interior... all standard. Why does it (for the second time in a C & D comparo) only earn a '3' in ammenities?


Stupid gay magazine. Even still, it got a '3', and still dusted the competition...






Never mind me, I'm babbling again.
