But hey, instead of all that mid-range torque, you get some funny noises! Sounds like such a good trade...

Somewhat random question: I notice the GTS in the video has five-lug wheels. Weren’t all 991 GTS-es centerlock only?

I guarantee you, it’s market preferences – I’m so sure b/c Europe’s swimming in sleek and crazy penalty boxes like this Renault Clio, a French Yaris:

I get why it’s wise for Porsche to make SUVs. I get why it’s a good idea to have a floaty 7-series, a cheap X1, and a practically-challenged X6. But after creating these money-printing volume models, why do these companies have to ruin their enthusiast models?

Damn...

Having a good teacher is crucial. That’ll make driving a manual fun, as opposed to feeling like a chore.

Very much agreed! Just that front end makes the car look ten times more expensive and elegant.

Not sure I follow what you mean...

Turns out they do sell the Mondeo as a sedan, but exclusively in the Vignale trim...

I didn’t see the original call for stories, but I think I have a really good one.

It’s funny how they constantly drill that $70k into our heads, even though you can’t realistically get a Model S with $70k-level options without the price going all Porsche on you... I’d snap a Model S up for $70k, but at $100k, an S-class is better value, all said and done. A further bump in price is a bad way to aim…

I think I’m gonna stop criticizing the Navigator now, lest David R. Woodhouse turns into David W. Roundhouse-kick-to-the-face...

Mmmmm, early-ninenties Nissan truck. I’ll always have a soft spot.

This was.

Wow, a gullwing Range Rover!

Part of me is impressed, but the other part is worried – the fact that this works shows just how generic modern crossovers are...

It’s an escape pod!

So this is how an aftermarket part says “G’DAY”...

They’ll be parked all over UBC for sure!

Yes. All the A/C vents and the entire electronics system are Volvo’s, down to the door chime and font on the LCD displays! Later Astons got a Garmin-based nav system that replaced the Volvo nav system they used until then.
