Ariel Atom 500, Saleen S5S, Consumer Reports, VW Scirocco, Nissan GT-R - 02/29/2008

Damn... I'd totally trade in my GTi for a Scirocco... why aren't they bringing it over here?
"Whats this? A Key to a Volkswagen Scirocco? Whats this doing in here? They Don't even Make that car anymore!"

Derek D is on top of his game.

Derek D. is a Hottie McHotterson!..FLderekD FTW!!

The Ariel Atom is the nipples, u just wanna get in it and squeeze things. Saleen's new supercar, looks great on paper lets hope they dont lame it up, i dont c how they could c'n as its a hypercar and can be as outrageous as they want it to be, but neva say neva. I'd trade the GTI for a Scirocco anyday especially if they have a R30something version. i'd hate to have a car that lookes that great not go just as well.  

I think Russel should host the show sometime.

I'm jealous of Zastova.

Russal kicks ass and can through sh!t like monkey ROCK!!
good work 

Good thing DD is back, the girls just aint good enough yet

That much power in an Atom will be hard to control. Saleen is bankrupt right? All their retail venues are closed and they have 1/10th the staff they had in December?

Is there any coincidence that the press releases for the LS7 powered Holden W427 and the LS2-powered G8 GXP were sent out in the same week? I dunno much about the G8...but now Im assuming there is a relation between the the two (like GTO and Monaro)

awesome show, and prime example why the D-man is the best host, keeps you entertained and brings the info goods! (carrie is hot though)...

I would take a scirocco over a GTI, or maybe i would just because the fact that we dont have it here..might be a case of the old "want it cause we dont have it" kind of thing...

Ha!  Nice jump from your 4 inch pedestal!!  And you're SO right about the "Who gives a sh*t" category.  Trucks are worthless pieces of crap.  Big, heavy and the produces the most pollutants for a vehicle.

The Holden looks awesome, but I don't think it will come here.  I don't remember a 4 door GTO, if that is their plans for the States.

Good show by all!

I could believe that the Ariel 500 might be able to come close to the bullshit acceleration times the Barabus is claiming. I wonder which would be more fun to drive, the Ariel or he Hyabusa-powered Smart Car?!?!

I dont care for Saleen but happy to see their use and promotion of E85 (like Vette Racing in ALMS in 2008!)

Happy to see Hyundai getting some props; they really have come a long way...its true.

New Scirocco frond end styling looks sweet. I dont think VW would scrap the heritage/lineage thy have in the GTI brand...but a Scirocco R32 would be pretty sweet; hopefully it materializes.

FLD!!! Throw out the damn Milk already! Ill send you a new carton, just please...get rid of it. 

I wholeheartedly agree that pick-ups are a waste of tarmac for daily (non-work related) use. Hell, even for work use a large van (such as the Sprinter) will do the job better most of the time (and save gas, and protect whatever you're hauling from the weather elements.

Atom is wild, but useless.  Saleen is just a drawing.  Let's see what actually happens.  Shocking that CR puts Hyundai so high, but the US automakers should see what they did and get some ideas before they die.  I TOTALLY AGREE on "the Who gives a f*** category!"  DD stock just went up realizing he and I agree big trucks are lame, unless they are actually used for work.

W427 is sick.  I guess that is the new GTO?

Great show.

FIRST! [second, actually] LMMFAO!!!!

Derek D, you're so cool... When is Carrie coming back?

hahahah im first....and very hung over
