Yeah, go live there for a bit. Sure they did some great things in the past, but they are far outweighed by all the terribleness.

I’m finishing a 6 month stint in China for work. I can sum it up in 3 words: It’s awful

You really shouldn't with numbers like those...

Should have made all those useless electronic gadgets an optional “road/comfort” package or something.

Great News! It’s the 2016 Chevrolet SS Malibu

Crap, I fear you’re right. We’ll be lucky if this has a 5ft-lb bump in torque :’(

Oh absolutely, the P1 is in an entirely different ballpark. But if you took all 3, parked them next to eachother in a walmart parking lot, and asked a random person who likely knows nothing about cars or what a “maclaron” even is, good luck explaining why one costs 3-5 times more than the others.

Relax pal, it was just an observation.

lol. Work in plant management a bit, then come talk to me.

Right, so kibibyte

Dunno, what I've always read on various budgeting sites and finance sites is between 25-35% of income. Of course if you go up to 50% or more it doesn't mean you're going to bankrupt. It's certainly possible depending on your life situation.

No... why would it? A kibibyte is 1024 bytes like you have there, and so on.

Please explain how a kilo of anything equals anything but something x1000...

Just stop. You're making all software engineers look bad. Twisting someones correct points to try to prove your wrong point isn't helping anyone.

It's true. Though with Astons, I have a very very hard time telling them apart!

Fair point. Aston really needs to stop trying with these "hardcore" track specials and just stick to what everybody really wants out of an Aston; impeccable taste and good looks.

Meanwhile I'm so happy my company plants are union free now! Means people actually do good work and don't slack off with a BS safety net to save them :-)

I would absolutely buy this if it came to the US. No joke. Always liked the way the Veloster looked, just not the powertrain. If this is mid engine RWD/AWD, priced below 40k and weighs less than 3500lbs, I will trade in the BRZ immediately!

I'd be ok if the different models were actually very different. Now it seems more like trims, with different engines and slightly different body kits.

Well, if you go off the old "shouldn't buy a car that costs more than 1/3 of your salary" thing, I guess someone who makes around 500k a year instead of around 800k?
