If it’s done before Baku, they BETTER post the final time.

Ironically enough, it’s been damaged to the point that they now want to do the least amount of damage possible to get it of the wheel to see exactly what went wrong. 

I’ve got this guys, I live in New England. Years of working on salt-rotted vehicles have prepared me for this day.

As the wheel is still on technically they still haven’t finished the pitstop.

Who’s ready for Baku with a nut splitter and Vice Grips?

This is the 21st century version of the sword in the stone.

Can’t be a Warthog without 4 wheel steering, no doors and most importantly, a plasma cannon in the back.

Their car is a cracked egg, spilling life onto winding pavement. It is a duck bill quacking for all to hear.

No, I won’t be seeing them everywhere. Or, to be more precise, I won’t be recognizing them. All crossovers look the same to me: equally uninteresting. 

If it were a Mustang thread, people would call you a luddite. I’m just here to agree that taking a vehicle name associated with very specific qualities is valuable to all parties, and wrecking it by putting it on other vehicles is stupid.

I dunno, I’ve had plenty of EV lovers jump down my throat on this site for insinuating EV’s aren’t as fun as ICE cars (they aren’t).

I used to drive that when I was in town.  We stayed at the Intercontinental on the Plaza, sometimes stopped at that Einstein’s for bagels not knowing what would be in the office.

same, I drive this almost every day. 

I’m also not a fan of landscape mode screens for navigation, so I’d rather just use my phone instead.

Personally, I’d rather just have a BT connection to the speakers and Vol/Track controls. The rest of the current gen-infotainment systems can go

I haven’t received an audio ad in two decades thanks to using an iPod for years, then more recently a paid Spotify subscription. It’s been lovely. 

Another day, another story about new car tech that reinforces my decision to never own an automobile newer than approximately model year 2012 for the rest of my life.

Maybe if they jacked up the suspension a bit and added some body cladding...

I’m not with you on this one. It’s a cool looking car. I do agree that the original is way cooler, though.

Thank god for the editor note, I thought about this as soon as I started reading. The Alpine does not need more horsepower. The beefier versions were deemed inferior to the base model by many journalists when it comes to fun and driving pleasure. What this car needs is a f*ing stick, not limited editions.
