You should probably know that the loot boxes (‘vaults’) and microtransaction crap were more or less forced on the studio by the publisher, and have since been removed (they were able to get out from under that publisher and promptly pulled it all back out). Payday 2 plays better than ever now IMO.

I mean, forgetting the fact that it’s Lotus making a big heavy EV thing...

Cool! But unfortunately up in Canada (or at least in BC) the breakpoint isn’t power, it’s displacement. Anything under 400cc gets put into a much lower insurance bracket, so this won’t really be a competitor to the ZX-4RR and RC390 in that category. The next breakpoint isn’t until 750cc.

I don’t think there’s any doubt that non-ICE cars will become the norm among new vehicles eventually. ICE will be relegated to cheap used cars and enthusiast vehicles. Whether those non-ICE cars will be battery-electric or something else, who knows.

Are...are you ok? Do you need help

Daemon x Machina was an excellent way to scratch the itch between verdict day and AC6. I especially liked the addition of the co-op mode and wish that Fromsoft had added something like that to the new game.

RS4 Avant. Specifically the B7. The only wagon to ever offer a V8, manual transmission, and awd, all at once. The fact that the V8 was the 8300rpm screamer shared with R8 is just a bonus.

I would argue the Matrix was a hatchback rather than a wagon. The first gen is close, the second gen is definitely just a hatchback:

It would be pretty sweet to be able to have the whole windscreen be a hud. No more need to look down at screens in the car to see directions, or music, etc. Some cars already have that but having it be larger to be more AR than a floating little screen in your vision would be cool.

This is the same as my take on the Hummer. The market for these was going to buy a giant SUV regardless. At least this is slightly less stupid.

Have overlanders really ever cared that much about weight? Full size trucks and SUVs with camping gear, tents, etc stacked on them have always been heavy. This seems like a pretty capable rig so long as you’re not going too far beyond charging infrastructure, and it’ll be able to creep along quietly in the wilderness.

Let enthusiasts have fun with cars. I’d say if there’s maybe one thing to draw a line on it’s de-catting, keep those catalytic converters on or put in high-flow ones.

Our contribution to climate change from consumer and enthusiast vehicles is miniscule compared to the corporations, private jets, etc. 100 corporations…

If that were the case, the car would make sense. But they’ve already publicly stated it is NOT a homologation car and the GT3 racer is homologated off the regular Mustang GT.

This game seems to be suffering mostly from the same issues as a lot of multiplayer-only games. They built a solid foundation, and then put bare minimum, proof of concept levels of content in it. For some reason they expect players to just...keep playing the same handful of missions over and over for no real reason…

Who is this car for? Who is looking to spend 300k on a mustang? For that price you’re well above a GT3 RS, and almost to where the presumable GT2 RS will sit. It doesn’t have the brand cache to hang at that price range, it doesn’t look like a supercar, and it won’t be a performance bargain. I’m very confused who they…

- Full interior with 2 heavy leather seats, carpet, sound deadening, screens, speakers, etc.
-Supercharger and intercooler
-active suspension and aero
-probably more heat exchangers
-heavier drivetrain (not a race sequential box)

This is built off the regular Mustang GT chassis, not the GT3 car. Given that thing weighs…

I really truly considered a Magnum R/T AWD Wagon when I was looking for my daily. Not much comes with a V8 and AWD, especially not in a wagon form and the Magnum checked that box. But I just couldn’t get over that early 2000s Dodge interior.

Oh, I fully agree that it won’t be used by the general populace for their commuters. It’ll be too expensive. Commuters will inevitably end up using electric motors, whether it be current battery tech, fuel cells, or what have you.

I really want liquid hydrogen to make sense for all the reasons you listed, but realistically, the savior of the ICE is going to be carbon neutral synthetic fuel made from captured atmospheric carbon. Requires no changes in the technology of the exisiting vehicles, and it’s just as green as hydrogen in that it’s…

Toyota GR Corolla Raptor confirmed. Let’s goooo
