I though we weren’t supposed to be doing that outside of hospitals, schools, and other super germy places anymore? You know, overusing antibacterials and creating super resistant bacteria and global health and what not.

TRYING NOT TO BREED SUPER BUGS THATS WHAT. It’s like immune system boot camp.

antibacterial soap is bad for you since it leads to superbacteria. what’s with your smugness?

I think of it the other way. How needlessly petty people are about the overall design of a car. Notice there is no side profile of the car. That’s probably because it will still look like a tapered turd. I mean that with good intentions, because I never found the original Panamera to be ugly. It’s just the side…

I lack the Altoids tin, unfortunately.

At this point a turbocharger or a supercharger or any of those pesky engine upgrades would actually reduce the power granted by the yellow, the shocks, the brakes, and most especially the stitched seats.

As if AMG t-shirts and keychains could even do that.

Porsche and Audi are part of the same company now. What did you expect?

WE KNOW. GET THE FUCK OVER IT.

In before “It’s not Mini anymore.”

WE KNOW. GET THE FUCK OVER IT.

Idina Menzel has one of the greatest voices of all time, and the composition is a modern masterpiece. There, I said it. And I'm as straight a dude as you will find. I don't really like the movie much, but "Let it Go" and "For the First Time In Forever" are both really good.

I’d paint everything this color.

I love how the 2 door 1 series had to become the 2 door 2 series to make room for a 4 door 1 series. Much like how the 2 door 3 series became the 2 door 4 series, but there’s still a 4 door 4 series if you want 2 more doors than the 2 door 3 series. Luckily, the 2 door 5 series was always the 6 series, but the 2 door…

And also because it’s different. To wit: If a piston engine has problems, its due to the design of that engine. If a rotary engine has problems, its because the rotary engine has fundamental issues.

describes my FR-S test drive experience. Not that I was expecting turbo powa, but even up near the top of the rev range it didn’t pop. Maybe it was just the elevation, I can’t say.

I test drove one too and had the same reaction as you, but then I rode along in one a couple years later on a trackday.

Frankly I was amazed their Apple Car didn’t have WeatherTech floormats and Dodge badges. Seems like a real missed opportunity.

37k for an SMG... I’ll pass.

you’re missing the point. They listened to enthusiasts, and the resulting car isn’t selling well (to the point they’ve publicly called its sales figures disappointing,) which means when it comes time to refresh or re-design the car, they’ll likely say “Eh, not worth it.”

the FR-S/BRZ is a poster child for why automakers don’t listen to enthusiasts.
