SUPER GT’s Honda NSX-GT has always been different from both its road-going self and its competitors: it’s always been a mid-engine layout.

So, I think these are entirely fair points.

Let’s start with:

The combined carbon and greenhouse gas emissions generated by taking an intercontinental flight to then drive around this pristine chunk of earth is so unbelievably problematic that I question how this article made it through GMG editorial.

Your contention is that billions of dollars in annual costs to literally *everyone* could be eliminated if everyone “just woke up”. You are engineering Jesus and have it all figured out if only all of these people would just listen to you!

It is impressive how many little nuggets here and there you do have correct and manage to twist into wildly simplistic conclusions.

Engineers: they’ve got it all figured out!

Unbelievably serious. I don’t think you understand how bad this feature-series has been. You can bicker over the quality of the suggestions, but it truly may be the least incoherent one of these lists to date; that’s not a reflection of the cars selected here, it’s a reflection of the usual suggestions.

He jumped the shark a long time ago with his quirks bit. It’s become quirkiness for the sake of quirkiness, which really makes it a lot less quirky.
