Jay's jumping around in excitement over the manual Hellcat and the vengeful executive from the abarth hoonage says something along the lines of "that's why we brought the slushbox just for you." You don't fuck with Jay Leno, people. He'll call out your liberal use of "hemi orange," the dumb valet mode, and more! Jay Leno needs to be president.

I don't think he was vengeful, just an unaware salesman that couldn't keep up with his own words.

That or they didn't have any manual cars available.

Jay would be the best president. The 25 year rule wouldn't exist.

Definitely, just I make joke.

He was being far too much of a sales man. Ralph Gilles would have been a better interview

No, it's all because of FCA's evil master plan. Just trust me on this one.

So wait, whose idea was it to show him an automatic in the first place?
Haven't seen the episode, might watch it now just to see the shit fly.

Haha for sure! I'd like to see Lee Iacocca doing a little damage to those tires, but those were unfortunate two different episodes

But they don't have an evil master plan. I know this because I drew one up for them and it ended up getting axed due to some stupid shit. They said my taking over Cleveland didn't make sense from a fiscal or social media standpoint.

It was the corporate guy there who thought it would pleasantly surprise him. He really got excited over the 6MT and then the executive broke the news that it was the 8 speed and it was the classic "oh... ok" reaction.

Thats the other thing! The Abarth guy mentioned how the tires were $600 dollars apiece and didn't want to see hooligan antics, I agree Iacocca would have been far better

What's wrong with the valet mode?

Fuck Jay Leno. I know he's a car guy but he's a selfish prick. There's a reason why everyone in his industry hates him.

Oh... but 707 HP does? If you took over Cleveland you could implement free labor and cut costs by so much! We all know how Henry Ford's handling of the Dodge bros turned out. This will totally be a social media success on 4chan.

Uh... inconsiderate to valets? Ever wonder how they feel?

You're right, it's kind of funny how he always complains about little stuff on his show and the people have to put up with it!
The "You know, most people actually WASH their cars before they come on here" type of thing haha

Other than maybe a indicator light, isn't the only way to detect valet mode is to try exactly what the valet mode is there to prevent?

Iacocca approved fast K-cars (lotus and cosworth DOHC turbo stuff) and Maserati K-cars, just imagine what he would do with the challenger! (I'm thinking the cummins from the 2500 with the 6MT in a shooting brake version with ~1000 ft/lbs

Good God that would have been a Frankenstein car. Pretty damn awesome though

It was just a joke. I'd use valet mode.

Care little for his shows, but I respect his investment strategy. Hopefully he's thinking past himself in that regard. Fewer people visit museums of old Tonight Show reruns. (They exist, probably. Unsure.)

NBC didn't even run the clip on the internet version. Hey, VW, I've got an idea for those leftovers..

True, I hadn't thought of it that way. How could we take that away from them?

Why ? Why would that surprise him ?
This is Jay Leno, a guy who has obviously driven all of the other 8 speeds out there that are probably better than this one already, so why risk pissing him off for that?

That disappointing moment when the burnout in your car isn't as grand as they'd imagined. Must be such a letdown.

It's because it "bangs gears" in race mode more than his 426 hemi lol

I know a surefire way to make Leno president. Have Conan O'Brien voted into office, then wait for Leno to come and take the position in a few months.

I wasn't the only person to hear that! "Up, shits. We shouldn't have crossed Leno."
