This means that all three teams entered the sport in 201o under the guise of cost saving measures, have all now gone out of business. Bang up work.

Cadillac wants dealers to be more profitable, but they also need to move more units... do they not see the contradiction? How do you increase margins while making more sales? You either have to produce a product with huge demand, which they don’t have at the moment, or they incentivize the cars they do have.

I test drove a loaded 200C. The bolstered seats and the Pentastar made it moderately sporty, but it was heavy and ponderous. I wouldn’t mind driving it, there are just better cars available. That car had almost the same amount of incentives at what you’re posting. I would say another $5k would make it a stupid enough…

The house team is on overall pole... color me shocked.

You need to check it out, they run on a lot of Indycar weekends, as well stand alone events. Gt has Cadillac, Audi, Nissan, Mercedes, Porsche, Acura, and Bentley GT3 cars. They have a GTS class that is a GT4 class, with Mustangs, Caymans, and a bunch of track day style cars like the KTM Crossbow, Sin R1, and others.…

Well it is a good thing that they run in a totally different class. The spec LMP2 engine is a large displacement V8 too.

To be clear they are running a DPi, I standing for international, this is worked around the global Lmp2 spec. The Ats-V runs in Pirelli “World Challenge”, but is a North American series. The races are shown on tape delay on nbcsn, and their website shows the races live.

Well people wanted to see homologation specials come back, and here you go. Now, where’s that mid engine Porsche 911?

Hold on, let me tune up my tiny violin real quick.

The new format is basically the all star race format, which everyone hates. The problem is this: the races are too long and plotting, but they fill are 4 hour block of television on a sunday. Making the races shorter would lose the sanctioning body millions in ad revenue. They are trying to turn it into heat races…

I feel as though when Mini came along, they were unique in that it was a small car with a super premium and interesting interior, and good dynamics. The market has since been flooded with great performing as well as premium small cars, and it seems like Mini has not kept up.

Mechanically diverse and insanely expensive powertrains? Sounds like the present to me.

My wife had the same reaction you had as we watched last night. She thought it was patronizing to conflate MLK day with “let’s give a tip of the cap to some black people”, they get that condescension out of the way in February.

Ward Burton had a long career without speaking a lick of English.

I’ll say the Corvette, but of course GM did try with the Cadillac Microphone Cable

Subprime financing and 5 figure incentive packages are in the air, must be FCA news.

Chris Berman is a Seth McFarlane cartoon: one note, short shelf life, and then milked until it takes up two hours straight of TV time.

Can’t you get an E92 M3 with similar mileage for this kind of money?

There would be a band of outlaws that would build up Camry’s and Accord’s, and drive them by the moonlight. Bruce Springsteen would write a goofy song about them.

The law is rather discriminatory towards people with older cars. So if you have a remote starter or keyless start, you can either start remotely or get in, turn the ignition and get out with your keys, and you’re fine. If you have an older car, you have no choice but to leave your keys. Both of my vehicles have…
