Yeah, if they tout it like a figure that should carry some weight! Way to put a spotlight on an aspect of the car that shouldn't matter at all past "adequate" to the target group of potential buyers.

I doubt you ever pour your glass more than half full. Or have dreams anymore.

I agree and disagree. I don't think the 0-60 time should be a huge deal, and I don't think they should be talking about it at all. That shouldn't be the focus of this car. I want them to build a flagship that recaptures American Luxury, not tries to be a million things at once, including top sports sedan.

Is it true you can still see the labels of the recycled PBR cans if you look at the bed from the underside?

I look forward to confusing Cadillac models with Audi, Lexus, and Lincoln alphabet soup. A naming scheme is only standout and unique if 3 of your top competitors don't also use it, dummy.

It's a go-to keyword now. 10 years ago it was "CIA black ops." Today, anything unexplained or morally shady must have been "drones". Thanks, shitty movies like Eagle Eye!

Yeah pretty sure the police just want the event gone

These are strikes one and two against him. Unnecessary HQ move and a STUPID naming scheme that muddled the lineup to the public and does nothing to differentiate them from the competition, which, thanks to Johan, all use the same goddamn naming scheme. I want to buy a car, not a software version

Crazy end to the video...

I cannot keep up with the Infiniti lineup because of this. The Lexus lineup is somewhat less of a grey zone, but still requires me to look things up when I want to know what's what. Both BMW and Audi I have to stop and think about before I'm sure I know what we're talking about. Lincoln's STUPID 3 letter naming scheme…

Even if it were, the shitty CT DMV would probably not be able to register one of these cars because it doesn't have enough characters in the name. And even if they could do THAT, you'd have to bring in 18 pieces of certified mail, including one piece that is either divorce papers, a court summons, an arrest warrant,…

I think you underestimate this naming scheme. I would have much preferred if the Mustang was named the HG9 and the Camaro the KW4. Think of all the KW4 vs HG9 threads there would be. 10000x more memorable than stupid NAMES that might conjure IMAGES of something!

Noooo!

I have puke all over my keyboard from that last picture. What a dirty, dirty sneak attack.

I think there's some room in the middle of the extremes here. Though a mass driver on the moon is probably a 2050 budget goal.

I would argue that what the F-22 does is far beyond the capabilities of, say, F-16's, and their presence changes the way we approach a conflict. But beyond that...

Tyler, I 100% agree with your piece and I love it. I guess my point was that it is inherently ridiculous to try to quantify the F-22 in lives lost/taken, and even more ridiculous to do so after its FIRST COMBAT OUTING.

I forgot that WW2 was so applicable to modern combat. I suppose in a modern conflict, our ability to churn out thousands of bombers, tanks, and Liberty ships after a year or two of gearing up for it will be more than sufficient to face immediate threats.....

...I'm not sure where ICBM intercepts came into that. I assume you're being facetious and that would be the point the ROI becomes worth it? Establishing air superiority over a modern battlefield is pretty much a requirement for ground action, and the mere fact that the F-22 can do that for us with impunity is where we…

Because if we only invest in it when we need it, we're too late.
