Don't worry they will still sound like ICE. Thanks electronic engine noise!

Forty years from now we will look back and wonder what we were thinking re: 25 year rule. It will be a gaze of incredulity similar to the hateful gaze I cast upon the 8 liter , 200HP shit boxes of the 1980s. WTF

Haha my comment is only half serious. In all honesty progress would suggest an improvement. I do not think wantonly complex, less intuitive, and cost adding technology that does a worse job than traditional buttons constitutes progress. Perhaps for the folks who drive something with the term cross coupe in the title…

You know what would work? A revolutionary tactile based self rotating interface with traction grooves. Here on earth we call it a KNOB. Still with me? Great. This KNOB can be used with gloves, without gloves, while driving, while not driving, while looking, and while not looking. You could-gasp!- not put a screen in!

On that note, you are planning to add an i8 to the garage right? Please tell us all about it when you do! I really enjoyed the AMG article btw.

Good god why must new cars be so massive? European roads are not that big people! If you need something larger than a Mondeo then GET TO THE FUCKING GYM.

Holy shit this segment is awful

Remember when cars were reasonably sized? Remember when cars actually fit down a UK b road? Perhaps people might lose some lbs so that we might have a reasonably sized car!

Simply hideous center console. It actually looks overweight.

hahahah random shit indeed.

Move along peeps, nothing to see here, just another rabid redneck who loves Vettes almost as much as he loves his sister...

Spinelli, this completely unrelated but I just heard your thoughts on the "foraged dead fucking duck" on the smoking tire. Was listening to it while driving home for thanksgiving and I FUCKING died laughing. The cop in the car next to me prob thought I had lost my mind.

Very true. haha i it sounds dumb but I think the 911 is really in a class of its own in that it has no real competitor. On a related note, who buys sports cars because they are bargain? When I bought my XK, I paid way more than a vette owner would pay. Yet a vette would destroy my XK in any objective measurement. This…

So cool! Is there any other car that can do it all like a 911? Endurance hero? Check. Rally ? Check. Ice racing? Check. Road racing? Check. Hill Climb? Check and Check. God I love these.

For the one millionth time NO ONE IS CROSS SHOPPING THESE CARS.

That is a really good point. It is RIDGE as hell!

lmao. Don't you get it? Americans want "aggressive" cars that can conquer the ever present frontier and the strip mall with equal aplomb!

Neutral: definitely. As Americans find their waistlines expanding at an ever more alarming rate we will see the sales of larger, uglier, and tackier "SUVs" expand at an ever more alarming rate.

Still looks better than the bumpers on a US car from the malaise era.
