My guess is that’s an aesthetic that works for a high end product in Vietnam. No point in designing for a European or American market is you’re selling in Vietnam.

AutoModelista is also excellent, I have that one too!

Hilarious if someone actually believes a product planning cycle measured in years is responsive to the whims of a few internet whiners.

No, you’re wrong.

CT4-V = C43 AMG = M340i = S4

“But after all the apparent backlash over the newer, cheaper, lower-powered and “less-intimidating” V cars, Cadillac is now developing hotter,”

A Google image search shows this car in a variety of iterations but mostly just different vinyl wraps. Looks like they were promoting for Thule for a bit.

an Affliction plaid button-down? Peak douchebag.

A rally car in which they’ve spent as much on ceramic coating the paint as they did the suspension. No thanks.

This looks like a car that the flat brim doucheknuckle who bought Tiger King’s ranch would drive. He has the disposable income [or illicit monies or whatever] to blow money on something that screams “please pay attention to me and my fake racecar”

I mean, nothing they did here looks that expensive or difficult; I’m not saying cheap or a even a good idea. It just seems like they didn’t really do all that much. Am I wrong thinking this looks like they just stuck on a ugly body kit/flares, some vinyl, swapped in racing harnesses, replaced the rear seat with a half…

For $60k I could get a new S4 that doesn’t have the questionable build characteristics of a SEMA car. Or, for less than half of this, I could pick up another 2013 S4 that doesn’t have the questionable build characteristics of a SEMA car.

These cars are cool.....when youre 9 years old. What style of person actually has the means to afford building a car and then settle on this? YouTube gamers?

Which had aftermarket suspension? The Ducati was stock as-delivered. The Suzuki was refurbished to stock and wasn’t nearly as adjustable as the Ducati, and couldn’t be fine-tuned with electronics.

What was your point again?

He’s wrong. There, it’s been said.

Spelled with a G, as in the actual bike name GSXR, but pronounced with a soft G, like gypsy.  This is the way.

I’ve never heard anyone say it with a hard G. I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I’m not saying you’re right.

I have always loved this level, personally. *shrug*

i really like downhill. i can keep a lot of momentum going doing air tricks>reverts>manuals and do big combos. 

Of course we all love Lynch, but what’s mildly annoying about this answer is that it reveals his guileless solipsism — he doesn’t care about Dune, the novel or the set of ideas, at all (and probably never did); the only meaning the topic of a new movie has, to him, is as a reminder of a frustrating artistic experience…
