XE 180d R Dynamic. Love the looks, chassis, steering and fuel economy. Less impressed by the gearbox calibration and uninspiring ingenium engine.

Evo is usually accused of bias towards Porsche and BMW M rather than the UK manufacturers. As I have recently moved from a BMW to a Jaguar, it is certainly true that Jaguar are better at setting up their chassis’ for UK roads than the Germans.

Yes, I’m biased but the Daytona’s V12 howling through the empty New York streets is worth it alone. 

When new Evo magazine rated the S Type R as better than the E39 M5. NP all the way for this although given the choice I would have a similar era XJR.

Forget the whole EV aspect the Model X is just ugly and not in a charmingly ugly way like the Alfa Romeo SZ of the late 80's early 90's, Could never have that on my drive and say I’m proud to own that at any price ND.

Quick search cheapest new C8 I could find was $74k, cheapest 3.0 Supra was $53k and I bet it’s easier to get more money off the Toyota. 

Voted NP and clearly someone agreed as it shows sold when I clicked on the ad.

This car is more about updating to meet new emission regs and standardising parts (such as the 8 speed) gearbox than being a new car to really go full pr overload on.

It was always intended to be a stop gap car as I had just sold my Porsche to fund part of the deposit on a house purchase and wanted something cheap and fun to run around in until I was settled into my new house and the associated bills sorted

I owned one for about a year around 2006. I was going to buy an NB MX5 but the Barchetta has more interior space and is slightly quicker. The fact it is much rarer than the Mazda in the UK (they only made it in LHD which limited UK sales) helped as well.

First look, I thought nope, but the more I’ve looked at the pictures the more I like it but it is a little bland. Assume when it goes on sale it will be Supra money and not sure which I would rather have right now. 

335 points for my car.

Agreed, IIRC the 924S has a slightly higher top speed than the base 944 on account of the narrow body.

Button was more than that, in the three years he was paired with Hamilton he scored more world championship points. Hamilton had more pace but was not as consistent especially in 2011 where a Button finished second in the championship to Hamilton’s fifth. 

Giovanazzi is a Ferrari contracted driver and as effectively Ferrari’s B team  they will have a say in who Alfa Romeo sign. Perez was originally in the Ferrari academy too but didn’t find favour with the top brass there for some reason. 

Dominc Toretto revealed to actually be Riddick who has travelled back in time?

Lovely car that seems like it would be more at home being auctioned on BaT than an ad on Criagslist. Feels like it is priced like an overheated BaT auction too ND unfortunately.

Probably a nice car but 24 years old and not being a T5 or R it is hardly collectible. ND.

Oh that ad don’t just walk away

Couple of years to wait for the more desirable Evoluzione versions to be US legal though.
