Well, that was thorough.

...and well done!    I appreciate that it wasn't simply a list, but a well-written comedy run.  Thanks, Andy!

Aww. Thanks!

Had some practice with the weekly digests before plunging into this list. It's actually quite interesting which pages are the most popular. You'd think it might be the luxury/exotic cars, but the bread-and-butter stuff stays for months.

Not surprised at all.  Don't even bother reading the articles, that have vehicles with a price tag over $60k.  I am sure they are well written.  But I am not going to comment on a vehicle that I will never buy, or test drive.

Guess I never thought of it like that. I mean, I agree with you completely, but I would have attributed that to my not "getting" cars (or my being weird/boring). The average hatchback/crossover/wagon isn't exciting, but I find that the fierce competition really forces the different manufacturers to come up with something special ("unique selling proposition", if we want to get all jargony about it), and ultimately, I appreciate that a lot more than torque and horsepower.
