Are you kidding?
Ok, it works like this. Someone posts all or part of a road test for a (prefferably recent or well known) car, and people try and guess what car was being reviewed! Simple. You need to give just enough clues for people to get the answer ;)


Then there is the steering, which also feels slightly lighter than before, and the steering response, which feels even quicker and more direct. Despite that extra 25kg, the _______ now feels a bit more agile, while the front end is less prone to understeer in the tighter turns. A bit more assistance from the power steering might be able to explain some degree of this, but the bulk of the credit really has to go to the new car's reconfigured suspension set-up.

Then there are the brakes, which at the front now sport discs that are 20mm larger in diameter. In theory, they should be stronger and, in practice, they certainly aren't lacking. And they aren't quite so prone to having the ABS chime in, either. It's also possible to brake deeper into a tightening-radius corner without feeling like things are about to become unsettled - though Pirelli's new P Zeros probably play their role in all of this too.

Despite similar power-to-weight ratios - the _________ has 346bhp per tonne, compared with the Diablo VT's 338bhp per tonne - the former's 200cc bigger V12 feels more responsive, quicker revving and indeed a little faster.

Just guessing from that last sentence – Murcielago?
 
I didn't think it would be that easy :)

Your go Sage.
 
Um, I'm going for lunch now – someone else can take my spot. ;)
 
A small part of an article to make it harder. :)

"Rated at 552bhp at 6100rpm, not only is it the most powerful engine you can buy, it also possesses the world's most usable torque curve."
 
-----let's face it, as the driver of the house, you want to know only one thing: "Is the ________ fun to drive?"

You betcha! A stealth bomber on the freeway where it excels at strafing traffic, the _________ displays its true nature on those sinuous, roller-coaster roads that are a driver's delight. That's when the engine can truly flex its muscles and when the gearbox — a slick-shifting 6-speed manual with cozily close ratios — can demonstrate its ability to keep the power flowing smoothly from _______ 2.5-liter, 218-bhp-------
 
That was the only car I knew for definite had a +200hp 2.5 :)
The seconds edited name is not the car in question, but a car to closely related that it would be a point blank giveaway.

When I first clapped eyes on _______'s new ________, in a burned-out, derelict street about two miles from the smashed and deserted centre of Detroit, my first thought was 'Oh no. The front end's too sharp. And the wheels are all wrong.' In the pictures, it really does look like the ________, but when you're right there, it's obviously longer, and wider and three inches taller.
 
Naw, I think I read it somewhere on the internet. (Whilst trying to prove that F430>GT)

----------This top-rung -------- has its hospitality act polished to a Ritz-Carlton sheen. No problems there. But there's no joy in the driver's seat. Not that it's an unruly machine, just a perfectly indifferent one, a cipher for the road.

Still, when it's your turn to haul the neighbors out for Saturday night dinner, they'll be impressed. The simulated burled wood is sufficiently convincing to strike up a Bentley mood. ---------- The rear seats have a soft, enveloping feel, an undeniable plushness that puts you in no hurry for your destination. We rated the comfort back there just slightly behind that of the ----------- at the top of the class, but the difference is in the decimal places and didn't show up in the scores. Both got fives.

The ---------,like ---------'s ------- , has a weight problem. Making light cars requires high technology. Instead, --------- goes about it the old-fashioned way, with lots of steel and sound deadening.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh, Top Gear magazines review of the GT was in Detroit. 👍
 
Pulse-pounding velocity is dandy, until you want to sip an espresso latte while commuting to work at 6:30 in the sleet. Then all the boy-racer stuff becomes cloying. Still, if there's pavement in front of your house that needs to be torn up, buy your _____________ now. This mobile monster disappears in 2006.
