No matter which way you look at it, the R8, despite being a cool car, is nearing 10 years old, making it one of the oldest supercars currently on the market. You can keep putting new faces on it and updating the engine, but it’s still the R8. The Gallardo has been replaced already, for crying out loud. Fresh R8…
Wish I could star this more than once.
I’ve had it both ways. My preferred dealer will sit down and go line by line to make sure everything lines up. I like them a lot.
I went to another dealer a couple of times (Until recently I went through new cars like I go through Reece’s cups fast and furious) and on the last time it was specifically because they had…
“I feel like there’s more to the story than this.”
Thats the real trick, brands like BMW are built on enthusiast credibility. Switching strategies and focusing on mainstream tastes can work in the short term (it did for BMW 10 years ago) as companies can ride the coattails of their reputation but make enough silly crossovers and baroque luxo-barges and the credibility…
Agreed - just bought a car last week. They went through everything line by line with me: Price of their car, allowance on trade, amount owed on trade, net difference, taxes, dealer fees, total amount due.
Should be a bargin at $50,000 before “options”
Maybe this is revenge for the 458's multiple LMP homicides?
Let us reminisce about all the amazing Cadillac’s that they refuse to build:
I did something similar once too.
“has to be” and “actually is” are two totally different things.
This story isn’t about you.
Hi there.
Well I guess we know what to nominate as the cheapest enthusiast car....
Honda CR-Z. If it had managed to be an actual successor to the original CRX... what a car that could have been.
All it needs is a decent engine and a decent manual transmission. I say manual because the CVT is fine per CVT standards, but the 5 speed is an abomination with its drunk-esque precision and total lack of clutch feel.
Hey, that’s just the car trying to tell you to make sure the engine is still under the hood, that you’re epic, to make sure you grab a coffee because you look like your batteries need recharging and that’s you’re a bright guy.
Are you a female? Are you currently covered from head to toe? Are you literate? Have you ever driven a car? Have you ever touched a man in public? If the answer to the first question is yes, and the answer to the remaining questions are wrong, there are a significant number of people out there that would have no…
Nope, not the only one. After finding out a barely under warranty $30k transmission replacement for the SLS was not that uncommon on the higher mileage and “well used” cars, it made me rethink owning it long term. I went shopping around and came to the conclusion the current 911 is the Camry of sports cars, it’s…
