Check it for fleas.

Stay tuned for the next Nissan Z, then! Hope you don’t need usable rear seats!

It’s not replacing it, it’s just compressing it first. :p

I lease one, and I agree with you. It’s simply fantastic, the driving dynamics at public speeds are faultless, just the right balance of comfort and firmness, and the steering lets you feel all the little pebbles on the road.

GM doesn’t have any designers.

I think you missed the point of that second post. He was highlighting that China uses outside parts suppliers in their electronics wares to counter your argument that the Chinese economy is insular (and it is and you are absolutely correct to point out that it is).

Chinese construction is not an issue, they make fantastic stuff. Increasing Chinese economic leverage is the problem.

When did we stop calling it “Crack Pipe”? Get outta here with that play-nice “No Dice” bullshit.

I wonder if this design language isn’t just BMW taking the piss out of all the status wankers who buy these things compulsively for bragging rights. A sort of “Ha ha, look at these sorry cunts who just buy any piece of garbage we trot out to them!”

Ah, yes, let’s take a single design element from one or two anomalous BMWs and use that on a car that might as well come from the planet Zogon in the 24th (and a half) century. That’s how much of a relationship there is to that car and this new M4.

Nothing stopping them from doing a 180 on this design direction. Even with the wasted tooling, they could probably make it back in a couple months.

Volvo, Alfa, Mazda, Tesla, and VW (to a lesser extent) are the only brands applying the KISS approach to car design in 2020. Everybody else is over-styling the life out of their cars and it’s paaaaaaainful to be in the market for a new car right about now.

It’s worse, the grille on the M3 and M4 is not even the same set of shapes as the standard 4-series. Dare I say it, the M440i actually looks better than the M4 by a wide margin (no pun intended).

It’s not just Hyundai group. Literally every Euro manufacturer treats NA as a second-class market, and I don’t mean that just because they refuse to sell us wagons.

This guy fucking gets it.

Did this car prove it, or did this car prove that people don’t want the base engine with the manual transmission and no options other than what comes in the package that gives you the manual?

I don’t even want to pay for the core experience of their car, let alone for what should be a prime selling point on it to distinguish Cadillac from the rest of GM’s brands.

It isn’t, though. Left-most digit indicates relative size and layout of the vehicle, next two digits indicate performance level within the model. Left-most digit all by itself with no following digits means you have the top-performing variant. The M badge denotes motorsport intentions, and even the M Sport package…

Only two:

Production of the GTC 4 Lusso has just recently ended, IIRC.
