Not exactly sure, but from 2000-2007 they were similar. One critique of the 2008-2011 US Focus was that the suspension was retuned and reviewers noted it was not as fun. The US version of the Mk1 Focus was reported to have cheaper interior bits compared to Euro models. The 08-11 US was simplified down to 1 engine, 2…

Cool, you can reuse that list for the “worst coupes ever made” list, just remove the ATS and Scirocco.

I don’t know, I’d say that every Nissan redesign over the last couple of years has been a massive upgrade over what it replaced. Even the Rogue no longer looks like the automotive version of settling. The Pathfinder looks more like its old self again. What I can’t figure out is why they can’t figure out what to do…

The early 2000s M45s were so cool! They always make me think of Yakuza gangsters, in a timeless effortlessly cool sort of way.

It’s just even more frustrating since like you say Infiniti had so much promise. Meanwhile Honda were busy selling the same FWD cars as Acuras and still do that, but Nissan used to have compelling RWD JDM offerings like the Fuga and Skyline. Alas.

$1000 more to match your seatbelts. 

Since it’s yet another drably styled BOW—box on wheels—bolted to a typical EV’s giant skateboard platform; absolutely nothing.

Rear end is a bit too bubbly to me. Looks more like Model X. I think a spoiler would look better more off the roof than the trunk. Hopefully the EV Boxster won’t be approaching standard 911 pricing.

Exactly... The Market is no longer looking at Tesla as a pure Tech Play and rather a manufacturing entity with an increasing inability to build at scale without numerous missteps. 

Or it is just Tesla becoming a mature corporation with limited growth possibilities. Tesla stock has been so hot because it went from selling 10,000 cars a year to 2,000,000 cars a year, but now it’s not like that number will reach 10,000,000 in the next 5 years.

Makes you wonder how a car that sits in a climate controlled hangar all its life gets “corrosion” on anything right?

Yea, I definitely remember that a bunch of these were destroyed in car wrecks. The car magazines from back in the day, would often publish pictures of wrecked super cars and upside-down CGTs were often among them.

They are a handful to drive -- and beat you to a pulp when you do. But you’ll never drive anything closer to an F1 car.

The world needs more dudes like that lunatic Canadian!

Yeah I also heard they are really tricky to drive. Something about the clutch being very heavy and hard to find the grip point.

This guy gets it.

No big deal for actual owners. They have plenty of other cars to drive.

Generally, yes -  a well tested (some would say “archaic”) design with a V8 they had been building since 1963. I’m sure there were still some typical Italian gremlins, but nothing like the Biturbo.

it’s spectacularly unfair that people who are skeptical about some government policies and plans are labelled automatically as conspiracy theorists. Poeple seem to forget that if you follow the money some of these policies are being driven by people that stand to make considerable money from said policies. Our…

You guys are really struggling for material, eh? It’s a (relatively) low-mileage, very low-price (for the brand, package and even the model year) performance-luxury oddity. Yes, you can buy any number of different cars for the money (most of which wouldn’t actually offer either the performance or the luxury, btw -…
