If I was going exotic car shopping, it would be a used Ferrari
Used you say, and not a brand new 458 Italia???
Yup, and there is a specific reason
I would be looking for one of the very last Ferrari's to have 3 pedals on the floor, F360 or F430
I know flappy paddles are blindingly fast shifters, measuring shifts in mili-seconds, but seriously, I would rather shift and waste a second or two in life

AutoBlog shares it's first drive impressions of the 1 Series M Coupe. Calls it The E30 M3 Reincarnated, But Where Does That Leave The M3?

The M1 is still sooooooo very heavy, calling it a reincarnated E30 seems like a big stretch!
The M3 is more car, and more money, it should be interesting in time to watch how well the M1 does and how it impacts the M3...

I dont know how much of those are all that credible. Im thinking it has to with Ethanol content in fuel. Remember the recalls Hyundai had for the Elantra a little while ago. They replaced the fuel injector nozzles that had a buildup from other content in petrol. I have seen thos pictures on Car Talk and I find it hard to believe a 4-stroke engine has that much buildup
Maybe Honda is doing it right by not jumping on to a technology that soon.

The Civic is a direct injected engine Aash...
The Audi and VW forums are filled with stories about this
And as gas prices go up and up and up who knows what the refineries are going to be playing around with to maximize their already rude profit
