The American version really needs its own Captain Slow. I'm not naming names (Gio), but can any of you suggest someone? ;)

No doubt, Gary can sugar coat it... The rest of us don't seem to have that skill.

Could we use the Lutheren Civic v 2.0 as the "Reasonably Price Car"?

As between Thomason, Isley, and Ekstrand.... Do you really have to ask who is the slow one???

But part of Captain Slo's appeal is his lack of a sense of direction. OK, he's an idiot. In a good way. You've never gotten lost on the way to an autocross, have you? I mean really lost? Like going to Ventura when you were headed to Fontana?

Haven't gotten lost til I got ON the autocross course....
I'm pretty confident I could out drive Capt. Slow in about anything.

I dunno about Isley. He has a face for radio and a voice for print. Oh yeah, that's why he writes for Sports Car ;)
