Nobody gave enough of a shit about the EQS, which we all knew was going to be merely another over-priced also-ran from the Germans.

The lack of an ignition is unsettling. I am conditioned to seek that verification that my vehicle has, indeed, activated and is ready to be driven.
For what it’s worth, I’m all aboard with electric. I love what Porsche has done with the Taycan in particular, with the amplified motor sounds and spacey noises, and am very much looking forward to Audi’s eTron GT reveal next week.
Corvette has gotta be up there in quantity of racing.
The squared-off frunk shut-line on the current 992 generation is a design element that sucks, though not as much as the runny-egg headlights do.
That last line is what a sports car is, not a muscle car.
I think the older ones have a fussy look compared to the new ones, which trade fussy for pretentious. Pretentious is nicer to look and feel, IMHO, so it gets my vote...except the digital gauge cluster. BMW needs to bin that thing, stat.
A big step forward is relative to where it started. Before, it was bargain-basement. Now, it’s OK, but looks like they were referencing an older 3-series. It’s no longer bargain basement, but you’ll still do better in a BMW or an Audi.
Muscle is about theatre. EVs have no theatre.
The irony is that I think gearboxes are absolutely going to be coming back. They are already back with the 2-speed on the Porsche (and soon the Audi) precisely because they can’t get the range at the same gearing that gives them the insane acceleration. We may yet see a 3-speed, at which point I declare “let me shift…
If it’s just one backwoods country, you’ll have to explain that to Porsche since they’ve already proclaimed they won’t give up the ICE. Lamborghini? Same.
It’s not plasticky, but it is dated. Feels like a two-generations old 3-series.
While I appreciate superior driving dynamics, the bottom line with performance luxury is that I want it all. The interior on the Cadillac looks and feels like a BMW two generations old, and that’s just unacceptable. If all I want is the best performance per dollar, I go buy a Camaro over CT4-V. But at the price…
Jelly. I only have a big-hit bike (Intense Tracer Pro) and have been eyeing up a Supercaliber for something less...eventful...for my local trails. I’ve ridden one and I love it, I just find them about $1000 too expensive for what you get compared to the competition. But I love its looks! Torn!
I both really hate SUVs and prefer the lower, sleeker look.
I just like the snap that being able to go 0-60 in under 5 seconds brings. It’s good for a giggle on my morning commute, which has me pulling out from a 25 mph residential street onto a 4-lane 55 mph highway where most of the traffic is actually doing about 70. Just turn left and blast-off.
It gets worse. If you cycle seriously, you probably have a GPS on your bike to do normal GPS things as well as give you your power readings, cadence, etc. and it is equipped with...a touchscreen. Your shifter is also probably electrically actuated (possibly wireless) and a mode to automatically switch your active chain…
Well, I guess they kept some part of the heritage when they turned it into a cross-over, then.
Asking the real question that everybody else is either too blind or too sensitive to ask.
