    I wouldn't say that UCP is full of fanboys (they would not be tolerated), but we have a few official apologists: you for SSC, Ferrer for old Italian cars, culver for GM/Detroit, Leon for Zonda (I guess if someone smack talked them he would go to bat for them; he hasn't had to but I'd say he would), henk for diesels...

    It's great! Civil, intelligent conversation/debate/argument!

    lol. Though Car and Driver did a test up in Montreal that put the Honda Fit vs Mazda 2 vs Ford Fiesta to the test. Results (according to them) were 1. Fit 2. 2 3. Fiesta.

    Yes, I read.

    They talked smack of the 401 (which is legit) - a mostly straight road from Windsor to the Quebec border (where it becomes 20 or something) and onto Quebec City and beyond!

    The Fit seems more practical, I think the 2 is rather nice looking. The exterior/interior is the best of the 3, and I think it is probably the funnest to drive - if not less practical than the Fit and less powerful than the Fiesta.

    I wouldn't want to exclude anyone.

    clutch seemingly will hate or love anything though. I feel like he digs Porsche, but mostly just their track specials.

    At least you'll admit to it and not defend with the classic "its not pink, its salmon!" line

    Salmon is gayer than pink, so there's no point in saying that.
