Yo do have a point. I agree, while they look nice, variations are becoming to small to nil. Excellent standpoint illustrated with the appropriate pictures.

Oh yes I would!

This will Definitely cause mixed emotions on $kaycog...

Man have you got eagle eyes!

I like it. Contemporary cars excel at the details, like surface development (A Sonata's sheetmetal and glass reflections would shame this) and quality of assembly (just look at the A-pillar trimmings) but as much as has been gained, has been lost. Where was the last time you saw something so adventurous being sold to…

"After 2025, the steering wheel will play a less dominant role in the interior," Hendriks said from the company's Plymouth campus on Tuesday. "With fully autonomous vehicles, you don't have to be forward looking as a driver, you don't need to have an instrument panel. Then you can really just think of a car as a box…

yeah!

Mlkespeed, you are ABSOLUTELY right.

For instance, I still know many older folks who refuse to even consider buying an entry-level luxury sedan because "it's got a four cylinder." Turns out that the four cylinder of today is as cultured and powerful as the sixes and eights of yesteryear, Bernie.

Oh man, this is a thoughie. I like S4 Avants and this one being a manual....Yummy...But as many others have said, it's a high mile VAG car. That means you better marry a mechanic and get a stronghold on a spare parts depot. And have a second car, too. A friend of mine is precisely right now having fun with the tranny…

Absolutely agreed. Came here to say the same thing. This baroque cycle in car design is starting to be a bit bothersome for me.

Thank you for sharing. Finally some serious insight. I, too, am sad about the demise of manual trannies. It is the people's fault, really.

For those of you unfamiliar, Tijuana is the largest municipality on the Baja Peninsula, and serves as both a business and industrial center, as well as a legendary draw as a tourist destination, just across the border from San Diego California.

Here I go again. Something's wrong. A Jag F type gets rated better than the Cayman, which a drunken monkey could tell from Jupiter is the superior car. I said it with the GTR, I'll say it again here. What's going on, Jalopnik??...

Yep. Sure does sound like you do have some interesting stories to tell. Will keep posted. Cheers,

Bet it'll sell in Australia, if you know what I mean...

Very good, insightful comment. We normally have no idea of what goes behind the curtains. While I do definitely understand most people's point, I now understand yours as well. Thank you for commenting and teaching.

Different Strokes for different folks, I suppose. Your choice is totally understandable (and I would be tempted for a used XKR for a very cheap price myself), but I maintain my original standing. The F-type does not do anything spectacularly well. It's just "Good". Sensory driving pleasure? The Cayman S is where it's…

Sounds very interesting! Please expplain more as on the detrimental part. lift?
