The glass-roofed hardtop was a crazy expensive option on the R129 (whereas the regular removable hardtop was standard with every car). I mean crazy. Somewhere between $10-15K I think, though it may have been even more.

AFAIK, there’s a 6+ month wait for the Evora 400 in the US right now.

>If you go into a hallway filled with smoke you won’t get down one floor, let alone three.

Solid wood doors, 3-inch deadbolt, and steel door frame. You are not kicking those in. If you tried ramming it with your shoulder, odds are your shoulder would give first.

There are ZERO recommendations from the NFPA to stay indoors during a building fire. If you can find written national recommendations to stay inside your apartment during a fire, I’d LOVE to see them.

>YOU DO NOT RUSH OUT until the firefighters tell you to!

I live in a building with 145 apartments. We have about 1 or 2 fire alarms a year because late-20s professionals don’t understand that pouring oil into a pan heated on high for 20 minutes does nothing but generate a massive amount of smoke.

Yep. My only criticism is for the people who buy something like this new.

Is the marketing slogan for that van, “Never be thirsty again” ?

What if they make both the mid-engine version and a Corvette “classic?”

It’s a LOT easier to sell an $80,000 sports car than a $400K one.

Goodcarbadcar.net has reported monthly sales numbers by model, for US and Canada, for most manufacturers.

When you get to the airport, do your best to educate the crew as to what kind of equipment you are using. The more they know about it, the less likely they are to break it. Tell them if they have a question about how to operate or move your equipment to ask you.

Going to be interesting to see how the all new Elise is in 2020, as this is going to be one of the last on the original chassis.

Holy shit, non-camouflaged Tesla truck prototype?! /s

When these people claim car culture is fading, what do they expect is going to ultimately happen? That 5 years from now there’ll be a new Vin Diesel and whoever movie about some LA subculture that’s obsessed with smartphones?

F-Pace sales aren’t far off from Macan sales. They’re indeed selling, but whether that volume remains a year from now is the true test.

If Mercedes does come out with an AMG GT convertible, then anybody who walks into a Benz dealership and asks to buy an SL should be euthanized.

Not tremendously surprised. Tata execs have said many times before that the future of Jaguar hinged on the sales success of the F-Pace and XE. They’ve floated the idea of killing the brand as often as Ghosn hints at killing Infiniti.

Richard Kim basically designed this... thing.
