I had the same thought. They say the F16 was the design inspiration for the NSX. Maybe the F22 was the inspiration for the GT-R...

I used to think these looked cool when I was car shopping in the early 90's, but it seemed like every one I saw for sale advertised “NEW ENGINE”. On cars that were less than 10 years old (sometimes less than 5), that was enough to scare me off from buying one.

Good to know my formerly $7995 Pontiac Fiero shares something in common with a $126,000 Aston Martin. Then again, on the Fiero, the parking brake usually fails anyway, so nobody bothers to use it, they just leave the car in gear.

Now playing

Clearly this ad is incorrect, the police don’t need a Prius, they need a minivan.

Warranties are great, but when I think about reliability, I’m more concerned with things that the manufacturer hasn’t already admitted are broken and offered to preemptively fix for free.

I recently had one as a loaner and “damn quick” are not words I would use to describe it. It was perfectly adequate. Not slow, but not particularly fast. The V6 TLX is supposedly only about a second faster to 60, but in the real world it feels significantly faster.

According to Wikipedia, “With the anti-war movement in the ‘60s and early ‘70s, many Asian Americans identified the term ‘Oriental’ with a Western process of racializing Asians as forever opposite ‘others’.”

That’s only true in the US. Oriental is a perfectly cromulent word in much of the rest of the world.

Since it can only be charged by the onboard gas engine, it seems somewhat irrelevant.

I was going to say Saleen S7, but I just learned it was initially designed in the UK. Maybe the original Vector W8, but that one’s a bit of ancient history now.

Has range anxiety trickled down from BEVs to gas-powered vehicles now?

Yeah, I’m sure nobody will be interested in the new V-6 powered Ford GT, too.</sarcasm>

If they think that a fuse is a part of an engine, I don’t think I’d trust them to know what a turbocharger looks like anyway.

If anything I’d say the Huracan is the best looking Lamborghini since the MurcielagoMiura. The AventadorMurcielago looks cool for sure but certainly not beautiful. FTFY.

Fluids other than a full tank of gas are included in curb weight. You are thinking of dry weight which is not what Tesla is advertising.

As the Konigsegg article said, curb weight is the vehicle without passengers and somewhere between 50-100% of a tank of gas. Pretty sure that last bit doesn’t matter much on the Tesla.

This is surely a nod to the black roof on the original NSX.

Except that you can buy two “overpriced” NSXes for the price of one overpriced LFA.

93 in 3rd isn’t that high. My car will do 114 in 3rd at 8000 rpm. #vtecyo

I love how its a tiny car and it still barely fits in the parking space. #japanproblems
