Then was does every Nissan I get from the rental counter come with FCA levels of suck? Seriously, even the Infiniti “upgrades” I often get just net me a car that, while just fine, is 10 years behind its time.

Colin Chapman is going to end up haunting FCA for this.

This is a good idea for smaller carmakers who really won’t see a good ROI from creating their own electric platform. Nissan, FCA, and Mitsubishi seem like good candidates here.

Solid and well reasoned response

WRONG.

He should have won awards for that performance.  He completely nailed that character.  

The central problem with the premise of this article is flawed because the clown shoe is nowhere near as modifiable or reliable as the Supra.

Your point makes sense on the surface, but is fails once we look a little deeper.

That cage doesn’t look too sturdy, but I am positive that it is sturdy enough to give the occupants major head injuries.

Porsche smugness is generally more secure than Tesla smugness.

Yachts are silly and, ultimately, just demonstrations of wealth.  Superyachts are even sillier.  Unless you’re a James Bond villain, your yacht ultimately says more about your insecurities than anything else.

The answer is “the best Lotus V8TT Esprit” available.  

DOn’t forget the hydraulic dancing beds!

The braking can’t be real good either.  There is a lot of rotational mass there.

Nothing wrong with that.  The more parts they share, the more they make and/or the less it costs.

Great idea...if they sell it in the USA.  A pickup that small is not going to steal sales from full size pickups, it will compete with folks who bought a used truck.  It may also compete with small SUVs for single folks that occasionally needs to haul a few things.

Agreed.

Between this and the Cortina, Lotus has quite the track record of taking average sedans and turning them into monsters.

People have experienced this phenomonon for decades.  The EPA’s tests are simply too easy to game and are easier to game with a smaller engine than a V8.  With that said, I am not sure what the better test is.
