Feels like around $75K is the cutoff where manufacturers are like “nope. This performance car is too fast for a manual.” I bet that number keeps coming down too.

GoBots were first. And the toys were awesome. But I can’t stress enough, the good guys were led by a GoBot named “Leader 1". The bad guys by a Motorcycle named... get this... Cy-Kill. There was a tank. His name was “Tank.” There was a helicopter. His name was “Cop-Tur.”

I’d take one in red please!

I agree, I am seeing more of theses on scenic drives on nice days and as much as I want to like them... I will get use to them. Still the performance/$ is outstanding. 

The C7 is front engine. This article is about the C8. 

Remember Rock Lords? They were Go Bots that transformed into rocks, because nothing shouts fun like rocks!

This is a (relatively) inexpensive, RWD, naturally-aspirated car that can hit 60 as quickly as some of the much more expensive, high-end AWD turbocharged or fully electric hypermachines can get there. Major hat tip to the engineers of this thing.

Major dad points, Jason. Kids have it great these days. If we wanted a cheap Transformers knock-off, we had to settle for GoBots with creative names like “Turbo” and “Tux.” And their leader... “Leader 1.”

Diesel? Manual? Camper? Bring it Stellantis! (or whomever you are this week). It will sell like condoms at the high school prom. 

The term “cash grab” does not imply that the purchaser is not a person of means, therefore, it is an apt description of the scenerio created by Lamborghini.

Completely understandable.

To me, it’s a nice looking car BUT it still does look like an Aventador with Countach parts tacked on. Like as if Lamborghini is saying, “Hey remember these parts from the Countach eh eh wink wink?”

I agree on the looks. I think it looks great. But it’s also a blatant cash grab and it makes Lambo look silly.

Same happened to me. I put a deposit in on a manual TDI Spotwagen. “No problem,” dealer told me, “a week max!” A week went by. Then another. Then a third. Nothing of substance other than “we’re trying to locate” all the while they hammered us with offers of auto golfs and tiguans - cars they had on the lot. After a…

And flouting the advice of the National Safety Council: Never drink when driving. You’re liable to hit a bump and spill the whole thing.

Watch his video (if you haven’t). He actually created the video to guage interest and has been open about the cost (about $40/screw, $60 for the tool to screw/unscrew them). He admits it’s more for asthetic purposes for more modern furniture. He’s also pretty open that he know’s it’s expensive, but so are things like…

Dad had one of those but it was in Gold with brown interior.

When the world needed him most, he returned...

I’ve been back to waste their time a few times. Once I parked in their “preferred customer delivery spot” and plugged in my car (the dealer has a customer EV charger). I put on hand lotion and touched every car window in their showroom. I also left messages for the salesman repeatedly from my office phone that doesn't…
