I really like mine so far. I never care much about the infotainment, as I have used Android auto for pretty much every drive I’ve taken in the past 4 years, across 5 or 6 cars. Fit and finish are way above the rest of the class, down to the noise the different dials and switches make.

I’ve been car shopping lately, and nearly bought half of this list:

Maybe not competitive on performance, but definitely competitive in terms of looks and V8-rumble-induced smiles.

Only thing I can see is the corner vents are a bit large, which pushes the front silhouette out at the bottom instead of tucking it in, which would be better.

Depends on the sedan. I was looking at Stingers recently (I need a new car and miss my 2019 Stinger badly), and there are markups on most of them of about $5k or so. The MSRP on them has gone up, too now that they've consolidated into the GT-Line and the GT2 only. I'd honestly rather have a GT2 than a G70 with the

The 300 looks good at first, but I couldn’t buy one today. It looks dated in a way that its platform-mates don’t. Loved them when they came out, though.

Second generation Ford Tempo. My high school best friend’s brother had one, at it was such a piece of shit. Gutless, small, completely anonymous styling, unreliable. Just a complete waste of a vehicle. It’s like they took everything that worked from the 1st gen Taurus and tossed it in the trash, then shrank the result

You think the LC looks awful? Or the AMG GT? Either way, I think you need your eyes checked (assuming we’re talking about the AMG GT Coupe and not the GT sedan/fastback).

It all depends on your priorities, I suppose. I personally wouldn’t care about the badge on the front, as the LC is gorgeous inside and out. In fact, I think it’s a bonus to have that combination of looks/performance with Toyota reliability.

You dare, on this site, suggest someone with means to forego a beautiful GT with a lust-worthy engine in favor of a tiny crossover with a gutless motor and a CVT?

This is a tough one. Objectively, the 911 has been widely regarded as close to perfect for years. And it gets closer with each generation. But it’s not what I’d consider unique. If you can drop 6 figures on a weekend car and not care about reliability, I assume you probably run in circles where several of your friends

I mean, they did put a chandelier in that one Trans-Am. 

Part of me agrees, part of me will be happy that there are still screaming V10s in the world. 

The validity of the water-powered car (and the conspiracy theories surrounding it) is dubious at best. I don’t know a ton about the science, but I’m pretty positive that the technology doesn’t exist to perform electrolysis at that speed, especially not with the size and efficiency required for an automotive

I’m a bit torn on the Lamborghini thing. On one hand, companies like that make so few cars I’m not even sure that they should be subjected to these regulations. 5000 cars per year that barely get driven aren’t going to make a significant impact on the environment.

I can’t quite tell what that interior material is, but in my heart it’s the finest velvet money can buy.

“most folks are targeting appropriately-sized vehicles for their needs.”

One issue I’ve found (because I am in the market currently) is that there are significant markups in used cars as well. Sometimes worse than new cars. I went to a local dealership the other day to test drive a 2012 Lancer (I had no intention to buy, but there was a 2011 Ralliart in Pennsylvania I was actually

I initially liked the "bootleg Aston Martin" look of the front end, but there's just something about the proportions that hasn't aged well for me. 

Any posh wagon: Volvo V60/V70/V90, Mercedes E Class, etc.
