Come on man, open your eyes. It was obviously some kind parody or joke because it said this, "The current Honda Prelude has been around for a few years but it has plenty of power" (comparing to the Trans Am)

The typical sticker price for a WS6 coupe was $31,600. Regular Trans Am was about $29,300, of which I paid $27,600.

That's about the right price range for my area, at that time.

The sticker on my 96 TA was 26k I paid 23k and then the WS6 came out about two weeks later for 30K. I almost bought a 01 WS6 for 31k with everything but traction control.

They also talk about the Toyota Celica when speaking about raw performance. What a joke... And how do these jerkoffs manage to average 14-15mpg?? I get better mileage than that in all city driving stomping the gas like I don't pay for my fillups. I swear they must just beat the **** out of these cars when testing mileage so they can bitch about fuel mileage of V8s and brag up "amazing Japanese technology" that manages an incredible 1-2mpg better on the highway with a 1.8L, ridiculously underpowered 2900 lb econobox. And to give a Trans Am a 5/10 value "in its class" is the biggest joke of all when you consider this is one of the fastest cars ever put on the road and it had a base price of $25K.
