The F430 looks like they took the 360 and squared off some parts. It looks more interesting, but less cohesive as a whole. Then again, I agree with the guy who said the 360 was bland. The rear end looks like some generic hatchback. It looks about as exotic as a Supra.

Funny you say that, as it was designed by a Japanese designer who works for Pininfarina. He’s also the same guy who designed the original NSX. Too bad the Enzo doesn’t look more like that.

The F50 is a stunner from any angle that doesn’t involve the front. Sort of like the Z32.

I can’t believe how far down the page I had to scroll before I finally got to this.

Because there’s no Aspire Shogun.

You forgot the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet competitor: 3000GT (with a folding hard top, naturally).

It probably is a better car, but it doesn’t _look_ better.

You’re off by a factor of 10 there. There are hundreds of thousands of people who work for Foxconn.  I also seem to recall reading that “Foxconn City” has lower suicide rates than most of America, as well.

Funny you mentioned Adguard, but are looking for an Android adblocker. Adggard is the only ad blocker I could find that works on Android without rooting.

It was never called an AE86 (86 = “hachi roku”) in Japan either, that’s it’s platform code. It’s like calling an RX-7 an FD.

Don’t forget that if you look in the manual for most cars, there are/were two different oil change intervals. The normal change interval was usually around 5000-6000 miles, and the “extreme duty” interval was usually 3000 or so. The description under extreme duty sounds an awful lot like city stop and go traffic, so…

Tighter emissions standards require more cost on the part of the automaker, which results in more expensive vehicles, which potentially results in less sales. Of course, all major automakers including the big 3 are global, and will still have to develop cars with the same efficiency for the rest of the world. What’s…

I bet size is a big part of that as well. The only car GM sells that’s even close to the size of the 500 is the made-in-Korea Spark, and it’s awful to drive. (Though I’ve never driven the 500, so I don’t actually know if it’s any better.) Do they sell it in Japan? It seems like it at least was at one point, per…

I think it’s a bigger stretch than http://jalopnik.com/gorgeous-except-that-fish-mouth-1790195945

I saw what was presumably a test mule in downtown Chicago once about a month after the “tour”, but I have yet to see a production car in the wild.

Thing is, the crossover is just the mom-mobile today that the minivan was 20 years ago. No one is fooling anyone.

The AMG proves that the biggest downside to owning cars like a 400-odd hp M3 or a 500 hp M5 is that on a day-to-day basis much of that power isn’t usable. It’s only available if you are inclined to redline the engine and risk blowing it up.

On the other hand, I knew someone with a relatively new one (at the time) who had a blown head gasket with 30K miles on the car.

What I couldn’t believe is how low profile those tires look. Unless I’m misreading it, they’re 215/40R18. But somehow they look thinner to me.
