Just please dont buy a KL in the future. PLLLLLEEEASSEEEEE

if money wasn't a factor, your Tesla can kiss my C7 driving ass round the racetrack.

and its not a matter of getting somewhere faster, but a matter of the Smart can barely get out of its own way. i dont have to worry about that in my car, if i need it it will get up and go without fuss.

and at the end of the day, i…

without a doubt

Ford Fiesta with the 3 banger and a stick gets 45 if i remember correctly. and driving without a lead foot with a stick will significantly increase that in cars that arent the utter fuel sippers. the Smart gets slayed by its aerodynamics and piss-ant motor.

and the fact you are looking at a Prius, tells me…

because even 200 lbs of cargo can be bulky and awkward and i dont want to tie it to the roof of my car? or i want to carry more than one extra person. or because i dont want to be crammed into an upright matchbox?

small sports car is fine, i dont expect a Miata to be a hauler. but a Smart is useless.

maybe thats a Midwest hing, down here its just one big family unless they drive a Compass or a Patriot.

it moves 2 people from point A to point B at a fairly sluggish pace, hell we are talking about a car that's less practical than some motorcycles! only thing that separates a Smart from a Gold Wing is the roof, and even in crappy weather i think id rather take the bike.

and sure i do, its a "cheap," unreliable,…

how does one go from a god forsaken Prius to a Jeep? good way to trade up though.

both cars are ironically named

QUIT STEALING THE JEEP WAVE! THAT IS OUR THING!

ive seen a few running around, i get this impulse to squish them.

its derived from the Mustang nameplate. The term describes an affordable, compact, highly styled car with a sporty or performance-oriented image. while not the first car in this class, the Mustang was hand down the most successful and most visible, so the name stuck.

see there's that IF in there, that involves me giving up my big gas guzzling V8, the ability to carry 6 people comfortably at 100 MPH, AND stuff the trunk with everything including the kitchen sink. Over. My. Dead. Body.
There is an extremely limited use for cars like the Smart in the US, but there is no way they…

sidebar, since Tyler mentioned the SDB up there, theoretically they would be able to carry 200 of those things.

bye bye bad guys

next time you can, thank your Grandpa for me for designing one hell of an aircraft.

gonna go ahead and liken the BUFF to that old guy who works in your company. been there for a generation, and despite numerous attempts to replace him with newer, smarter workers none of them are good enough to replace him. and that same man just got himself a Masters degree in lethality.

Who knows, by the end of its…

how cute, another fanboy.

I'll go with the elegant natural beauty instead, the NSX

I guess if you have a thing for bird beaks and way too many creases, to each their own.

Do bear in mind that the Ford gives you maybe 10-20 more hp, old school mechanicals for about $100,000 more than the NSX

and this, where you get…

because it IS news, and fairly big at that.

but that doesnt excuse the massive fuck up that Acura comitted in the way the launch has been handled.

this issue here isnt a mid development change, that happens fairly frequently.

its the constant teasing associated with the car, and the refusal to actually put out hard numbers this late into development that's pissed everyone off.

also, in the time it took Honda to stick a new engine in the car, Ford designed a…

and not to make your medical condition any worse, but there is still that rumor of the return of the 'Cuda in the next few years to replace the SRT Challenger.
