Farago is going to kill me for this one, but if I don’t tempt fate every so often, the dullness wins. Since the discussion of the bailout has turned my brain to Chex Mix, and seeing pictures of the Porsche Panamera and BMW 5-Series PAS SAC KNICK KNACK just make me nauseous, I figure we should try some lighthearted fun. Readers, please put the following cars in order according to . . . whatever you like. Just tell us your sorting mechanism when you post, or be more mysterious and let folks guess.
(A) Nissan 370Z
And if this wasn’t enough to make you say “huh?”, please enjoy today’s podcast.
Immensely bored law student. I've also got 3 dogs.

My most probable next (used) purchase: 1. Citroen C6 V6 HDI 2. Audi A4 2.0T 3. Hyundai Genesis 4.6 4. Nissan 370 Z 5. Volkswagen Jetta TDI 6. Lexus IS-F 7. Dodge Charger R/T Most likely to be a coveted, value-retaining vintage car 25 years hence: 1. Dodge Charger R/T 2. Citroen C6 V6 HDI 3. Lexus IS-F 4. Nissan 370 Z 5. Hyundai Genesis 4.6 6. Audi A4 2.0T 7. Volkswagen Jetta TDI
When fuel goes over $5 again (and it will, as soon as the Depression is over) TDI the rest nowhere Rev Junkie: tons of torque...Plus, diesels are low-revving Right, so you can drive around at idle in 5th or 6th gear and get 65-85MPG.
Well, I can't do something obvious...let's go with how they would likely rank on Top Gear's Cool Wall. Sub-Zero: (Out of this lot? No way.) Cool: (Nope.) Uncool: Lexus IS-F (Fake exhausts? 8 speeds?) Nissan 370Z (Too stiff, it's a 'Datsun') Dodge Charger R/T (Ugly, can't handle) Seriously Uncool: Audi A4 2.0T (Replaced BMW as the cock/douchebag-mobile). Volkswagen Jetta TDI (It's a diesel.) Hyundai Genesis 4.6 (It's Korean) Citroen C6 V6 HDI (It's french, AND diesel..)
Cars most likely to be purchased by the Menendez brothers when they are finally released from prison and receive their inheritance. (A) Dodge Charger R/T (B) Audi A4 2.0T (C) Nissan 370Z (D) Lexus IS-F (E) Citroen C6 V6 HDI (F) Hyundai Genesis 4.6 (G) Volkswagen Jetta TDI
