As someone that drives a manual car and continues to vouch for 3-pedal superiority in the fun department, I think you’re being deliberately obtuse about the value of paddle shifters to bolster your comments.

Disagree.

Loving the monochrome wide angle shots. What lens? 10-18/4? 12/2?

You can’t be serious.

I disagree and think you're oversimplifying things.

I learned something new today.

Such a Vin thing to post lol.

“Here, borrow our $100,000 car. Have fun!”

Spring for a catback. There are a ton of options to choose from that are affordable, and (provided you have a jack and some stands) you can install it yourself. No cutting or welding needed. No warranty issues.

What the hell is your FiL doing to break them? Mine are solid as a rock; 10,000 miles in slamming them up on a daily without any issues over here.

We’ll agree to disagree, then.

Are you blind? The rear surface treatment is one of the best things about this car. So much better than the chunky-assed predecessors.

You could’ve cut this post in half and gotten the point across. Holy redudancy.

Those are your preferences. I left the BMW camp (E92 335i) and jumped into a near-loaded 2015 GT. BMWs are essentially unrivaled when it comes to pulling off the DD/track-duty role, but if you’re the kind of driver that prefers visceral thrills and you’d rather have a car that’s more track-duty and less daily-driver,…

I was speed reading these comments and thought you wrote “large dong.”

Wow, really? First of all, props to you for understanding what a facelift is unlike 95% of the other Jalops on here. But this facelift turned the Fusion into an acceptable looking car on the road as opposed to a painfully generic bar of soap with razor blades attached to the front end. I can’t stand beige cars... and…

And then you enter the reality of the automotive design world: hard points, safety regulations, bean counters, engineer-set architecture, etc., and you realize nothing like this would ever make it to the road.

House of Cards is the best and worst thing to happen to my TV watching life. I've never binged through seasons as hard as this. Too bad S3 was so underwhelming compared to S1 and S2 (arguably my favorite season of any show, period). Now I'm going all crack head waiting for S4.

This trend isn’t bad, but improper execution can make it bad. These “perimeter bands” are an ideal approach when it comes to adding emphasis and finality around the fender surfaces. The majority of cars built post-90s-melted-soap-bar-styling era will have this styling element.

Forza rewind.
