That's fair, and you're right. For everyone that considers their car an appliance, they'll love it... For the enthusiasts, it will be one more nail in the coffin...

I watched it. I stand by my original statement. It’s so terrible he doesn’t even finish the track test. Basically it’s a silver twin turbo Xbox. I understand the benefits of it as far as packaging and crash survivability, but I don’t think they’re big enough to outweigh the many downsides.

You mean not connecting the wheel inside to the wheels outside is a bad idea? Color me shocked!

Well I guess BMW with stand for Built (the) Mexican Way.

Would be way faster if it was FWD! Oh, wait...

That picture gives me an E-wreck-tion.

Ford and the rest of us should consider this a success. The car has proven it is very, very fast. Fixing minor teething issues is relatively easy compared to trying to make a slow car competitive... Just ask Nissan.

That’s not a sonic boom, it’s a Freedom Drum.

I’ll just leave this right here...

Please, enlighten the rest of us on the mandatory minimal surface coefficient of friction for it to be called drifting then...

Tell that to Gilles Panizzi:

Depends on the series. Little league runs a different base spacing than the pros,does that make their series any less legit?

I buy my cars used, because, as you so eloquently pointed out Doug, AMGs, Ms, RSs, Fs etc are worth about as much as a bottle laundry detergent after 4 years... I use Tide, by the way. I roll big baller when it comes to laundry soap... No Great Value brand here.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!!!

It appears to me from this graph we are approaching, and pretty close to, the offset base line. I. E. the line where no matter how much additional money, time, safety features, etc. we spend on improving vehicle safety, we won’t see large improvement. These are the freak accidents beyond design control. Makes me…

God damn you people don't get sarcasm and humor. I was poking fun at myself and all the other M3 owners that get wound up when anyone insults the car. Ruined my joke.

Whadayamean “inexplicably the BMW M3"? As a stereotypical popped collar douchbag M3 owner, I can tell you just like every other douchebag M3 owner, that my car can do no wrong, and would have made a moar betterer #dougcar . Just ask “Car and Driver” or “Motortrend” if you don’t believe me. Their lips have been wrapped…

This is the type of thinking that led to the largess and laziness of the 1975-1995 era, which led to the bankruptcy era of 2010. Good to see its still alive and well...

Bingo. That's how messed up our government is. They care more about the environment than people. I don't care it's different agencies. I don't care it's different fines. It all rolls up under one government, and when that government cares more about pollution then a company being willfully negligent and killing people…

Actually I do. The government should be fore the people, not whatever they feel like. God suggestion on the congressperson.
