The refreshed 2016 Chevy SS Sedan now has quad exhaust tips, just like a Hyundai Sonata!

During Car and Driver’s !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! we found out that a Lincoln Town Car can hit 63 mph in reverse. Apparently it’s 0-60 is barely over a second slower backwards than forwards. If you know of any other vehicles which allow you to hit 60 or more in reverse from the factory please let me know.

The $1,650 differences between an Infiniti Q60S 6MT and a Q60S “Limited” 6MT are a close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission and a hand-pull parking brake. So now you know the mark-up for being an enthusiast. By the way, they call it a Q60 Coupe, but the Q60 only comes as a coupe since the Q40 was the old sedan and the Q50 is the new sedan. Oh yeah, and IPL is a thing I guess.

Over the last three months, the Kia K900 has out sold the “cheaper” Acura RLX, big brother Hyundai Equus, and is on par with the Jaguar XJ. I have no idea what !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! between June and July (more dealers offering the thing is my guess). Still has a ways to go before we can make fun of the Infiniti Q70 though.

Hyundai and Kia make some really nice Lincolns.

I can’t afford any of these things

I actually saw a new SS the other day. Looked pretty good.

The things do look good in person. I’m still waiting to see a Mustang with the hood indicators (I may have already but I don’t know the hood shape well enough yet) and a G37 Sedan with the Q40 badge.

I always tell people cars are expensive. All cars! Sometimes I take $500 out of the ATM and just hold it. I think we forget that even a $3,000 car is a hell of a lot of cash to drop at once.

Funny you should mention the G37 sedan with a Q40 badge. I saw a white one the other day too. It looks exactly the same.

Ok...looked like a stretch of freeway we have here. Nice pic of the SS anyway.
