you don’t think this has to do more with a vw corporate decision that to have audi vs porsche competing doesn’t make sense? seems to me like they are just looking at it from a more global branding perspective, where they push audi towards full electric cars eventually, whereas porsche will retain some level of hybrid…

how many bodies is too many bodies though for a “sports car”.. i mean, i’ll take one baby capacity in an exige to actually have some lightweight and feel.

that is fantastic actually.. sort of like japans “luxury rough” style.. i would almost (almost) consider buying one of these just for the uniqueness of it. makes me think of 993 gt2.

100% agree.. the floating tablet idea is hideous. if it were mobile somehow and “appeared” from within a cubby in the dash then maybe it could be acceptable. the integrated version on the e class is perfect

that speedster with a detachable windshield would sell. not a lot.. but enough. (i don’t know production numbers so I speak in generalities)

actually.. even the old NA ones were not 6.3L.. they were 6.2L. it’s been a bit of a branding scheme since day 1.

with BMW design having sunk like the titanic (terrible analogy) and audi’s bauhaus design seemingly regressed into just boxes.. I find that mercedes has gone in the opposite direction with beautiful curves and gorgeous details... oh, and an engine lineup which includes the v8's we all lust for deep inside our 1st…

wow.. yes, i am quite blindsided here, i was thinking it had something to do with identity theft suggestions or something of that nature you were suggesting.

well, I guess I don’t have to as you’re a random internet commenter, but i was curious so i did. I retract my question I guess if you don’t want to answer. My apologies for asking.

why?

First of all.. welcome to Jalopnik - your new name shall be... “Doug-ish.” we should crowd-fund you the last $500 so you don’t make do with that stereo hack. very impressive resourcefulness with that car.. i wish i had half your skills/knowledge.

.. and then saying the new can of coke was driving itself down the street but then it got squashed so they can’t show you the new coke can.

i call bullshit

you bought doug’s demuro’s car?

yea.. but the 458 is the queen of “experience”.. take that over 2 nsx’s..

i would take the massive four spoke airbag wheel for that delicious metal stick.

yea no.. not gonna post... but I’ll happily read everyone else’s responses

I want this man’s power of conviction, and then I will use it for good.. like something with a high-revving NA engine and a manual, a 911R or something

emerging market.. emerging market!

you clearly don’t speak Swahelee.
