How’s the steering? Any feedback/feel, or is it in the video-game-controller realm of current BMWs?

The reason here is you’d have a car with a usable back-seat and a trunk big enough to carry 2-3 roller bags for a weekend trip. Plus some of us would like the burble of a front-engined V-8 rather than the braaap of the turbo flat-six.

Already happened. The current Bentley Continental is built on the same MSB platform as the current Panamera.

The 2nd-gen Panamera went to electric PS, and yeah, it’s really wooden. Yet another car that is capable as hell, but not particularly fun to drive around town.

The Boxster and Cayman are priced pretty much exactly where the 944 was in inflation-adjusted dollars. But yeah, I wish they were smaller, and front-engined, and had a huge cargo area like the 944s.

I feel like I know the answer to this already, but which 4?

Yeah, but that $75k half-ton pickup is fully tax-deductible under Section 126. Which makes it, in effect, half price. And a $75k Ram or Ford King Ranch *is* nicer than all the $37k cars I can think of.

Ah, yes, the off-road SLK from “Adventure Capitalist.” One of the most cringe-worthy travel diaries, but one of the coolest Mercedes builds.

In keeping with my username, I have commentary: Yellow Mercedes are historically correct and very good.

Huh. We’ve got an S52 clownshoe and I’ve never had trouble getting parts for it, even locally. But then again we have been lucky and haven’t had to do any body/cosmetic work on it. Or much of anything, other than the usual maintenance. The biggest pain in the ass (literally) fix was as the nylon seat track bushings,…

Until this moment I was on the fence about the Mercedes-McLaren SLR. Now it’s definitely in my “do not want” column.

I’m with InfiniteAntar. The Multipla’s design team were chuffed that senior management let their imaginations run wild. They created a memorable design icon in the otherwise completely boring mini-minivan vehicle segment. I’m sure there were high-fives all around when it got green-lighted.

Yeah, I think he added a zero to the price that doesn’t belong there. Or maybe if the rims are authentic Cragars I’d give him tree-fiddy.

That’s what I said!

I had a $40k Boxster, and it wasn’t a good car either. Like, if you’ve never driven a convertible sports car or a Porsche before, it’s fun. But if you’ve driven other convertibles, other Porsches, or other sports cars, it’s not so great.

Yup. 225 horses and 225 torques in the Z3 body makes for a car that feels fast. It’s a great pick.

IIRC the bumper exemption was available only at very small production numbers, and is no longer available. The US Elise took advantage of the same exception.

I own one of these bastards, and it’s easily more fun than cars that cost twice as much. Everything on the suspension is adjustable, and mine was set up by Chris Mora’s team when he was still with Spyker. (Chris is now at Singer.) It’s much more neutral than a Ferrari 360 or 430, yet somehow doesn’t bite you with…

Yeah, this video is just another in a long list of things that makes me love Chris Harris.
