WalterRego -> Car Review (2/6/2008 11:29:21 AM)

From today's LA Times review of the 2008 VW R32 hatchback:
http://www.latimes.com/classified/automotive/highway1/la-hy-neil6feb06,0,7931342.story

There is one certain way to wring some fun out of the R32: Rev it hard and double-downshift until it makes noises like a Juilliard-trained bone saw. As far as I can tell, there is absolutely no reason not to savagely and sadistically abuse the engine by keeping the tach pinging on the redline. The V6 engine loves to rev, it is obviously under-stressed, and the seven-bearing bottom end can take it.

Put another way: If it didn't want me to torment it, why does it make that delicious sound when I do?

Funny review.

I've got the Passat with the 4motion and I adore it. They're going to pry my cold, dead fingers off of its steering wheel instead of convincing me to trade it in. We had an ice storm a few weeks back and of the four vehicles around my place, this was the only one that could go up and down the ice covered hilly 1/4 mile deer path I call a driveway. A pain with 3 of us needing it, but it always comes through.

Domino: the 425-hp version of the V-8 Hemi?  Friend of mine had one, called it Torque-mada.

My current playmate is a Hummer. Not the kind on the road. She just lies there humming away happily making other wonderful sounds while I'm down below giving Her a tune up under the hood. Then She corners and accelerates like a BMW MSeries.
