Who is this car made for? I ran an R8V10 as my daily driver (winter as well and my Aston Martin as my summer and occasional car, but I also had a Range Rover for those moments when you really need space or luggage. In the end I got rid of the R8V10 because it was too tame to really feel special and not really daily…

I think the current line up of “Super Cars” are mostly “Super GT’s”. Have you seen the inside and the fit and finish of an F40??? Ever sat in an actual Gt40?? Those cars tell you one thing and one thing only, they were constructed to go fast, not to the valet or golf club.

Lots of great cars did not use their own engine, McLaren F1 and all Pagani’s for starters.

Shame we can’t get them. I have a Lotus 211 track car. Quaife sequential and a dry sumped motor. Amazing.

I like this guy.

I LOVE this debate. Modern car makers seem to be the kind of people that think the Player Piano is the better piano. The truth is most modern road cars are too fast and too capable to be any fun on public streets unless you want to go to jail.

This is why I bought a 4C (and why I had a Vantage V12 for years), they are…

Not really. Th lowercase e and the height of a lowercase “x” are often used to talk to the overall legibility of a set of characters. There are lot’s of other factors like tracking etc that can lead to improved legibility.

Perhaps they might find the “ClearFace” typeface has too large an x height and therefore makes…

The one on the right is clearly more legible. The x hieght alone means the type is larger, even at the same size. Look at how tiny the whole on the lowercase”e” is on the left vs the right.

Whatever. You make no sense.

That is flawed logic. When he assaulted his producer he was also not talking about cars.

He is the most famous auto journalist in the world, so it belongs here.

I just don’t understand your comment that this is a Jalopnik “Social Issue” focus?

I have owned 4 Ranger Rovers. Two Range Rover Ports SC, and two Evoques. No problems with any of them. This reliability “problem” is popular on the net, but I have no friends who have had any reliability issues, yet many who own them.

My prediction, the Alfa 4C. The early press was all British and negative, but I see that turning as people realize this is a raw experience that is not built to be a German robot. People are starting to understand it is a very unique experience. One that is not for everyone.

The 570 is already running a revised suspension set up. It’s a mechanical system, so not much savings there.

Then again, neither Fiat or BMW make most of their money from cars that cost $250K+.

I think the motor is the stumbling block. If you keep the tub, because it already exists and its been crash tested etc. and you keep the motor, and you put in a less sophisticated suspension, you basically have the 540 and 570. How…

Really. The 4C and the i3 seem to have found a way to offer carbon tubs for sub 100k prices.

Same reply as above:
Cabbies have gotten to the point that they do as little as they can. They do not realize they are in the service industry like a restaurant.

How well would your coffee shop do it your staff didn’t bathe? If your tables were filthy? If the wait staff talked on the phone while you were ordering?

I live in Toronto and I’m not aware of the legislation that demands the cabies to not clean their filthy cars. Or to talk loudly on the phone the whole time. Or the one that forces them to treat you like a “package” they are delivering, instead of a person.

The reality is the level of service only exists because they…

I have owned two Astons, a V8 Vantage and a V12 Vantage. I LOVE these cars. They are a real joy to own. They are road cars, not track cars. They make driving fun. Telepathic steering, the best sound going and ceramic brakes that are easy to modulate.

The paint is soft, so you have to be careful. They use a lot of gas.…
