At this point I don't understand why they don't start actually doing stuff like this. They're gonna have to get over their fear of alienating their customer base and just do something totally insanely awesome. Every single person that sees it needs to go "THAT'S A LINCOLN?!"

The cool part is how that same "Attitude is everything" principle applies to every aspect of your life in an incredibly deep and pervasive way:

You don't really have much experience actually making cars actually go fast, do you? Here's hoping you grow out of your knowitall phase someday.

My apologies for answering your question and providing a source to learn more, and a hearty "fuck you" to you too!

Hadn't thought of this before. If only it was going to depreciate like an 8 series!

He didn't predict that the NAIAS will exist in 25 years. He predicted that in 25 years we would look back at this year's cars and laugh. That's why there are a bunch of pictures of cars from 25 years ago below the prediction for us to look back and laugh at.

C'est la vie means "this is life".

"The wicker or more accurately the wickerbill or Gurney flap is effectively a small spoiler attached to the trailing end of a wing to improve performance. Wickers can be changed rapidly to tune the aero of a wing, with larger wickers generally giving more downforce."

Because the NACAs they tried there made less efficient use of air than this design does in testing.

I think there's a much less pejorative way to look at the e38/e39/e46 design ethos than sheepish and lazy. Yes, they're conservative. Yes, they're evolutionary. Yes, they're very similar in overall character to their predecessors—but there's a reason they're so timeless, and that's because they're the epitome of…

Avoidable by staying away from the SMG, no? Didn't think the 6sp cars were prone to tranny issues.

True, and for that reason it's probably wise to go CPO with a warranty or through carmax to get their warranty. Although I think a lot of that rep has to do with a few bad apples expecting the car to run as well as the aforementioned Camry would with the kind of maintenance routine the average Camry owner tends to…

Another one I'd consider adding to the list would be E60 M5s—if you go private seller, you're looking at 500hp for Camry money these days, and CPO/Carmax-warrantied cars are still in the low 30s.

Okay, so everyone seems to agree it's crap because it weighs a ton more. Whether or not it's acceptable crap, I.e. If the 911 should be focused on performance or luxury at this level, seems to be the primary debate.

I am perfectly fine with the 911 vert. I actually like it. So much so that I own one. I also love 911 targas. So much so that I wish to own one. But this takes all the disadvantages of the targa and combines them with the disadvantages of the cabriolet, then adds additional complexity. I feel like we're being pandered…

I understand your point regarding the different intentions of each car, but I am not saying that an automatic's use in the f-type makes it good enough for the Z06. I am saying that the ZF automatic in the f-type is a trackable transmission and that if the 8L90e in the Z06 is that good, it will be virtually…

I would have agreed with you until I experienced ZF's new box in the f-type. It's just as good in manual mode as any DCG I've used and loads more civilized when driven lightly. If the gm box is anything like that, gm made the right choice.

I love the charger, but no matter how much power they stuff under the hoods I just don't feel like it's relevant anymore. The world's evolved. The competition now offers both stupid power AND a competent chassis. How long do we have to argue that this Achilles' heel is "part of its charm"? Don't mopar fans deserve the…

Exactly. Of course the people that are complaining would never would have bought one anyway. The people that get it will buy every single one they make.

Haha I was giving you a hard time, just thought it was funny that you didn't even mention that he is probably one of the greatest camaro nuts of our time on an article about camaros. Malitude was a masterpiece too, no doubt, and hey I'm a second gen guy so I don't have a dog in the best-of-the-60's fight and therefore…
