How has it sucked? I was really considering buying one for a while.

Yup. Even though it'd be comparable in price to the Golf R and STI, I still wouldn't be able to stomach the fact that it's still a Focus.

Actually new car sales year after year have been increasing. Most people don't buy used because it usually requires cash up front or the interest rate is too high compared to a new car.

Different demographics. SL is a GT car, the SL63 has much more power than the GT-S, it's more of a straight line cruiser.

Starting right around $100k-$125k I think. Cheaper than the SLS it replaces.

So far the 9 speed transaxle is only in Chrysler products. Volvo is already using an 8 speed transaxle from Aisin.

I don't think ZF makes an 8-speed transaxle for FWD cars. Pretty sure Aisin is the only company to make one so I think it's that.

I think the 6-Speed is gone with the 6-cylinder/5-cylinder turbo engines. The current drive-e 4 cylinder in the base s60/v60 use an 8-speed.

Get a secured credit card then, it's meant for new credit or rebuilding old credit. Or go to you bank and see what they offer.

No, the Torrance campus is engineering as well. I know engineers that are working there right now.

Engineering is being moved to Michigan.

Only 50 personnel from Honda moved to Ohio, where they already had existing operations. It's nothing like Toyota's move. Honda still has a presence in Torrance.

A longer commute to the valley or Orange County isn't the same as upending an entire family and moving to a new state. The majority of those companies are a commutable distance from Torrance, Nor-Cal excluded. The people I know effected aren't worried whether they'll be able to find a job. Working for a company like…

Yeah, it's not like Honda, KIA, Hyundai, Tesla, SpaceX, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, or hundreds of other companies in California needing engineers would want them or anything.

It wasn't an SMG, E92 has a DCT dual clutch gearbox which is one of the best dual clutches made, up there with PDK on a Porsche.

I'd get the R8 Spyder. But I wouldn't option up a Targa to $150k in the first place.

But the 911 Targa isn't a basic model, and it starts at $115k. Porsche has options for whatever you can imagine, but you don't have to spend $150k on it.

Porsche missed a great opportunity not offering the 911 50th edition with the Targa. Those houndstooth seats need to be shown off.

When has any Porsche been a good bang for your buck car? People that buy these don't care that the Corvette is faster, or that the ST is more fun per dollar.

Yes, just don't get the Premium trim.
