Is there a forum I can read to learn more about cars?

...in the same way that styleforum teaches about quality and value?

Obviously, I see lots of auto forums when I use Google, but I have no idea which ones are the Ask Cruisers and which are the StyleForums.

Most car forums tend to specialize in certain brands. One of the most popular general car forums, which is pretty decent as far as information, is The Car Lounge, accessible via the Motive Mag (an online car magazine) site - http://forums.motivemag.com/zeroforum?id=1. Lots of chatter and cross-talk, though.

Lots of forums exist for whatever vehicles you like. They're quite helpful actually.

What cars do you want to learn about? The ones i belong to www.club202.com -MB W202 website(C-class from 94-2001) www.Mbworld.org All MB models although some forums are more active than others www.pointedthree.com I just peruse the G-wagon forum there www.amgpower.com Dedicated to AMG models of MB www.odyclub.com Dedicated to the Honda Odyssey www.team-BHP.com Dedicated to the car scene in India. Awesome forum IMO

Some of the sub-sections for newer cars can be a bit much from my experience (mk3-mk5), but my home is the Scirocco forums and I rarely venture outside of there anymore.

For Saabs, there is SaabCentral.

Edmunds.com has some pretty nice car forums, info about every make, model, and car-related topic you'd ever want to know about, pretty much.

IMHO, www.carforummisfits.comis the best representation of a car enthusiasts' forum. Everyone there is very knowledgeable and there isnt an affiliation to any one car make like some other sites. I recommend a visit. Spend some time in the "lounge" if schedule permits.

Some ghetto wiggers on the MB sites. Perfect if you like 8 year old S class with 22" chrome.

Bunch of icy hot stuntaz.

Edmunds was good when I was researching cars to buy.. Discussions about the normal quirks and such. But I found that I needed to track down model specific websites to get in to technical information on the various cars. But, yea, good place to go to get an overview of a certain car.

www.germancarzone.com (topics are not restricted to German cars only) is a great forum with some of the nicest people I have met on the net.
