Not saying it’s impossible, but no dealer I’ve worked at, or even heard of, bases the commission % on the gross of an individual sale. It is generally based on the number of units you sell. For instance, you start @ 25%, but once you hit 10 units, it retros to 30%.

“......that actually feels like a Subaru.”

I work at a dealership, and have worked at a few dealerships over the years and there have been numerous instances where an error was made in the figures in the dealer’s favor, and the customer was contacted to be reimbursed.

Except that they actually drive great, especially the Alltrack models.

Signed,

This is an outdated viewpoint. VW is solidly average or better in terms of reliability with their modern offerings. They may not be Honda or Lexus levels, but certainly on par or better than Ford, Mazda, etc, etc.

It would need to be approximately 57.852 x better than the old car to even be remotely decent.

I owned 2 different 99 Dakota RT’s. They were fun trucks that back in their day, were pretty quick. Especially with a little work. The last one I owned had heads, cam, and full bolt-ons, and it was a quick little truck. And it would lay rubber anywhere, anytime. I miss the hell out of that thing. My parents also owned…

The best car I’ve ever driven was the 991.1 RS. That car was just totally immersive and spellbinding. Everything about it just felt honed to the nth degree. For them to have improvement from there to hear.....this has to be a truly spectacular machine.

I love Tobasco, but only on certain foods. That’s with any hot sauce. All the people propping up Frank’s, Cholula, Crystal, whoever, are missing out if they only have one go-to.

I’ve flogged the hell out of them on some outstanding roads. It’s good, but still falls some way short of ‘magical’ imo.

Different strokes and all that. I adore the TT RS, but not much a fan of the ATS-V beyond it’s brilliant chassis tuning.

I’m not a huge Miata guy either, but I’ve enjoyed the NA and NB’s especially, that I’ve driven more than the S2K. Those cars have the delicate balance and live wire feel that is lacking in the Honda.

Oh goodness, I would like one of these so terribly, tremendously badly.

Not terrible, but like the current Toyobaru twins, certainly far from wowing. I’ve always thought S2000's were overrated. Every time I drive one I think maybe the cars in between will have changed my perspective and allow me to have that ‘aha’ moment. Never happens.

I’ll be crucified for this, but oh well, here goes-

Neutral-

I once had an opportunity to buy one of these. A black 2000 one w/ 94K miles was traded into my local Ford dealer. It needed a little TLC, but nothing major. And it was only $5,900. I still kick myself for not buying it. It was so lovely to drive. I’m not a Honda guy by any means, but I adore these cars. I’ve driven…

On a related note, I’ve been driving a Flying Spur W12 S the last few days, and I love the car. Such an unbelievable sense of solidity and refinement. Amazing how such a powerful car can be so comforting and soothing. Also, though I have driven cars much faster, it by far has the most effortless acceleration of any…

Once you get going, it really becomes almost an afterthought. It almost kinda makes sense when you think about it, because you’re rarely in 1st gear. 2-4th is where all the good stuff happens in that car, and the gearing is tight enough that when paired to the torquey V12, you can easily take off in 2nd anyway.

Be right back, going to CA to get an $800 payment on a GT4. That’s only 2x my GTI payment!! :)
