In person when the spoiler is up, it looks fantastic. In pictures with it down it looks terrible.

So my first choice was already taken(Maserati GT) so I'll have to go with something I didn't see which I think deserves more recognition.

This was the first car that came to mind for me. It's not necessarily the best car for the money, but it is absolutely the best SOUNDING car at any price.

Wow, that's incredible! Just noticed your profile picture is the car. The market them has just exploded...

I totally agree. I daily a car with a 6-speed in 405 traffic and I regularly miss my SO's DSG. When she had the CVT A4 however every time I got in it I always kind of hated it for being an automatic. The CVT sounds great on paper because it's so simple and it has "infinity" gears... but in the end the more complicated…

It definitely could. Wouldn't even he a difficult argument to make.

Do you know of any good examples of a CVT?

Re: they key difference. How do you know wether something is a good idea that's poorly executed or an idea that sounds good but isn't? With the case of the rotary the only reason we've accepted it is a "bad" idea is because no one has manager to "fix" it. Similarly I haven't seen a single CVT that was better than the…

Raw numbers don't matter. If there is a single accident where some dies due to a computer glitch the media will have a heyday. At the end of the day we all like to feel like we are good/safe drivers, therefore all the deaths we hear about would never apply to us. However the second some one hears there is a chance…

Can you give an example of a performance CVT? I've driven a B7 A4 with a CVT and compared Quattro version with I am guessing a ZF it was terrible.

"If executed correctly".

"A ____ is a great idea that could be truly awesome if used right. Ideally something like ____ would be amazing for most things... Properly executed..."

I agree with what tome said. The picture in that post even shows an old vanquish which had that exact type of transmission. The idea of having manual transmission where a servo controlled the clutch, ergo it's faster and more efficient, sounds great. Until you try parking one. Example:

Depends heavily on the state. In CA there is no excessive acceleration laws, however it's possible they could try to get you for exhibition of speed. However without tire screeching or burn outs / etc it probably wouldn't stick in court.

The real sad part is that people are such ass holes we need a disincentive to prevent it.

"Keep it in that 200-300HP sweet spot and keep it honest, Audi.1"

From what I've heard the 7-speed manual in the 991 is actually not a very nice gearbox... at least when compared to the 6-speed in the 997. I think some one at jalopnik or drive even said they think they're making the manual gearbox shitty on purpose so people are more inclined to buy the PDK.

And similarly no potential A5 buyer is going to give one shit about Hyundai.... They need to just keep making good cars and earn the image they deserve.

Also sorry, just realized you already corrected yourself! :(

No, you're talking about the "Genesis sedan" not the "Genesis coupe". The coupe is the one pictured and is only offered in a turbo 4 or V6 currently. Same name but very different cars:
