@Fodder650: I was thinking boosted V6, along the lines of what McLaren is doing with its V8. But, yes, please do shock us all with a new RS200.

High-net-worth people, are you paying attention? Crash it *before* you buy it. You know you're going to destroy it anyway, so get the supercar experience without jumping over the depreciation cliff. That's smart money management.

@dangertree: Yeah, exactly. Seems...optimistic.

@Fodder650: Some Ford exec recently hinted that they are working on a GT successor. GT EcoBoost?

@duurtlang: Yeah, gotta agree with you there.

To be fair, the drivers' have probably spent untold thousands to keep it on the road (double, triple MSRP?). And all the expensive stuff ($10K paint job!?) has been done in the last few thousand miles.

@ranwhenparked: Well, the decadent capitalist state with heavy socialist leanings...like Sweden and France, at least.

@Fodder650: No worries, I knew what you meant! In Jersey it's illegal not to clean off the ice, but none of the truckers seem to care. I was lucky enough to avoid a huge ice sheet last week....flying off a U.S. Postal Service truck.

@Novaload: Look at the track record of domestic automakers. They've had difficulty making a decent small car, period, let alone a small sports car.

@Fodder650: That should earn him more than a few bird flips and, if there's justice, a fat traffic ticket.

@SpiegelsGodComplex: That's an interesting metaphor because the cockpit on this thing is straight from the dollar slots floor at the Bellagio.

Yikes. A $6 charging fee is almost as much as that $8 congestion charge NYC mulled about but finally rejected. Do not want.

"No, sir, there's no need for a tow truck."

@pmalik: Wow. You definitely did. Can afford a classic Roller but not delivery. Interesting.

He is a skilled drinker. .238 is the BAC required before being physically able to choke down Key Light.

You can tell it's original if the fabric rips apart under hard cornering.

Meanwhile, near the Oranges this morning I saw an Alfa Milano. Moving. In 8-degree weather.

@PHIL: Exactly. More tickets!

So is the C30 entertaining to drive without all the racing bits?
