I guess my disappointment in GT5 was valid. I wrote my own review of it when it first came out, and basically concluded it with “I’ve waited too long to not enjoy playing this game.”

Right now, I’m completely enamored with the Jaguar XF S Sportbrake.

The Aston Martin DB7 sourced its tail lights from a Mazda 323. Some bodywork helps reshape them to better suit the Aston’s rear end. 

It’s ugly.

I’ve started to come around to Mondials - they look like little speedboats with the top down 

I was at Amelia Island Concours a couple of weeks ago and there was a section dedicated to 959s - there were about 7 on display, and my friends and I agreed that they look like test mules. 

It is indeed real. What makes it that much funnier is that the drive starts off quite well!

A thing can be both awkward and cool - trust me, I’d know 

I don’t necessarily agree that the 914 aped the British roadster formula - its styling and mid-engine platform certainly set it apart from its British contemporaries, however I do agree that it certainly isn’t an attractive car.

This is one Slantnose design that I quite liked

The livery itself was a comment on how ugly the 917/20 was.

Heard - almost every 80s sports car was a small fastback with a wedgy nose and pop-up headlights.

I never saw the appeal of the Slantnose. I understand the functional aspect, but aesthetically, the proportions of the front end look wrong, and it trades a Porsche design signature for something that looks far more generic.

This is a pretty solid list that I can’t really disagree with, and I learned a thing or two about the many differences in models before the 1980s. Nice writeup!

Judging by the options I can see right away - Premium Package & 20" wheels, this car would’ve been at least $95k+ when new - I don’t think the price is too far out of line. It’s actually on the low end for Taycans currently on the market. However for the buyer this car would be catering to, there are better deals to…

Thanks a million! The car’s currently in the shop awaiting belt service - can’t wait to drive it confidently again.

With that mileage, the seller’s price is just under what a comparable Taycan from a dealer, with CPO coverage, would be. It’s not excessive, but if you’re prepared to spend $80k on a used car, I think spending a little extra for that protection is worth it.

It’s snug back there, but headroom is actually a bigger issue than legroom. 

My mom is fully committed to electric cars and is done with her Tesla. I work with Porsche and I’d love to get her in a Taycan, but the Cadillac Lyriq seems more her speed. Her favorite car she’s ever owned was a Mercedes-Benz 300TD Wagon, so that would be a nice pick for nostalgia’s sake. Knowing my mom, she’d be…

Is this going to be sold outside Utah? I'm just wondering how many people with the means to drop $165k on a car would also actually road trip with it.
