The production version should have better mirrors, and I'm sure it'll come with a backup camera. It'll be fine.

Hey now, I'd totally do that. (granted, until I pass my PE, I definitely can't afford to) Most other people i know who work hard and want a "nice car" to impress the ladies end up with C300 4matic and 328xi coupes on lease.

I have friends with regular-grade Sentras, and there's truth to that.

So they can suck bits of header back into the motor? That's uhh, exciting. I still want one regardless.

This right here. My friend's dad bough one new, and has only put ~5,400 miles on it, and it's pretty awesome. With good, linear power that'll chirp the tires on the 1-2 shift, solid handling, excellent visibility and ergonomics, I would definitely drive one of these every day.

I've seen at least two in the wild around here, and every dealership has had at least one or two. Granted, I've seen at least three of four Murano CrossCabriolets running around as well, so I'm not sure what that says about us.

I'm going to assume that the 2.5 has way more get-up, but I've driven a 5 speed Z3 with the 1.9 4 cylinder, and I don't think I've ever driven something that required so much WOT to keep up with city traffic. The stock shift knob had a propensity for coming off during hard shifts as well. It was a new knob (done)…

Take this, add some high-tech rollover protection like this...

As an idiot looking at the coverage of the CT6, it kind of sounds like it'll be a bigger second gen CTS. That car was sized a bit bigger than the 3 series, but smaller than the 5 series, so it could indirectly compete with both, but not quite directly compare to either. Since the 7 series is pretty well an S…

How many sets of tires did they give you?

I mean, if that was the only way I could get it, it wouldn't bother me.

Is Ford missing an opportunity by not making more cars out of aluminum? Is that short sighted?

So here in a year or two we'll have this AND the C7.R running at LeMans? All that's left is shaming Dodge back into racing the Viper. Between all this, the upcoming GM midengine car, the GT350R, the Z/28, the Hellcats, and the CTS/ATS-Vs...my 'Murica boner is so huge right now.

Huh, I warmed my car up until the coolant got up near operating temp this morning ~5 minutes, and my transmission was the same as always. In fact, I haven't noticed any difference in it due to temp, but maybe it's just high effort enough anyway that I don't notice.

My '12 actually has them. Speaking of which, I should change the bulb in one of them at lunch...

It does this other strange thing too, whenever I get in the car, it seems like my GPS can only find gas stations and tire shops. It's weird.

A-freaking-men. We got new Durangos at work, and the voice recognition works well on them for calling people, but I've yet to run into a system for texting that isn't worthless. There are about a dozen words the system in my Camaro will sucessfully recognize, and it won't let me dial someone by name, only by number.

I have the first two, and while I could totally live without the heated seats, the backup camera is really handy. I can back in and out of spots with the side mirrors obviously, but between my heinously large c pillars and postcard of a rear window, I literally could not see a small child, animal, bush, fire hydrant,…

Hey now, easy there with the stereotype debunking. There's no need for that. Seriously though, I'd really like to have an Evora, those just aren't exactly characteristics Lotus is known for hanging its hat on.
