“relatively rare...”

Not sure if new styling will make people hold on to this generation longer or dump them in a hurry which would lower the price. Regardless, I am hoping to provide home for a well preserved example in the near future.

If only it came with a V12 it would be just about perfect between understated…

I think Ms. Lewinsky better satisfies the hog part.

“a lot more prepared to dominate the market when eventually a new battery tech come”

Quality control and safety issues when it comes to products engineered and made in China aside the bigger problem is Lithium supply. Restricted in many ways it will definitely not be able to satisfy growing demand anytime soon.

“though whether the 1969 Dodge Charger Guy realizes that is not clear.”

Judging by the tone of his comment and how quickly he put it up I would say no.

“It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, which means it’s polarizing”

If majority of your customers are wealthy 60+ yrs old polarizing is last thing you want your design language to be qualified as :)

“i may be singled out here but i love Lexus’s design language”

My main concern is how will senior citizens (which are dominant demographics among LS owners) react to this more aggressive style.

No doubt he will be a valuable addition to Tesla Motors considering how well Apple’s own stab at cars worked out.

“Have you read her bio yet?”

So if both (25 vs new) have the same safety standard (or whereabouts) and you would sit behind the wheel of former then why not latter?

Cheaper price is offset by modern features and reliability/cost of ownership.

“At today’s news conference, Don is expected to announce that Lada is building a plant in Indiana that will employ over half a million.”

Not to be outdone, outgoing President Barack Hussein Obama is getting ready to announce that a friendly nation will use portion of recently returned assets to open a manufacturing…

“since trump’s cabinet appointments will probably set safety standards back a few decades.”

You mean like vehicles subject to “25 year” import rule? We should totally ban those.

Plenty of time left to stop Mr. Trump from getting sworn in. Now is the time do double down on comments. Keep it up brother we are almost there!

“It’s only 10:30AM”

“Does caring about practicality make them incapable of giving a flying fuck about aesthetics?”

I’ve owned a Porsche once. Upon entering the cabin my wife would remove the blindfold and wished me a good day :)

“I see a few people being put off by this new monstrosity and going next door to Honda...”

Few :) Between this and new styling on LS they have lost good chunk of senior citizen demographics. Will the potential influx from Nissan/KIA/Hyundai consumers be enough to offset the loss?

Dr Zetsche playing the part, marvelously, of Rich Uncle Pennybags.

“Racing isn’t cheap, nor was it back in the days when Monopoly was created. You raced cars...”

If you were truly wealthy you bought yourself a whole God damn racing team!

Comes with a complimentary get-out-of-jail card.

“c) intersectionalism is killing feminism”

Killing? It is already dead.

“those were actually testing out as brand new and they were curious about how I was driving the car.”

I am curious too :)
