found it. Lexus says only about 400 units are expected to come to the United States a month, and they expect 85 percent to be V8s, the rest will be the hybrid version. so yes, most will be leasing the base coupe.

i don’t think any manufacturer ever thinks that their flagship cars will be high volume sellers

this frame was at the LA autoshow too right?

a lot of my friends in silicon valley and nyc financial world worked like this. and particularly friends in japan, taiwan, and china tell me this is normal. yeah it sucks, but the video is trying to show that the workers are willing to sacrifice everything so that the products they make for the consumers is as…

I was in the mercedes paddock and garage for the mexico grand prix. they have tables set up for each sponsor. there are sponsors that are not even on the car/suit/helmet but are paying simply to have access to the paddock and garage so that they can invite their biggest clients and/or business partners and/or new…

i REALLY like that they used a porsche DIESEL tractor in teh commercial haha. i see what you did there porsche

a 240z would easily fit into this category. super reliable, easy to work on, classic sports car look and feel

from what i understand FF still is able to do development on cars - a few months back i heard about their chassis and working cars that is being shared with the le eco car also (another car venture by the backer/founder of FF). their big mass production factory is on hold in nevada, but they have other facilities to…

i know, just giving you crap haha

not sure you would need to find a rwd swapped mx-5 (aka miata...which is already rwd)

have you driven a mountain road before? there is always the uncertainty of what’s next, unless you’ve memorized the road so perfectly that you know every turn, every loose part of the pavement, etc. the co driver (in this case Liam) is basically his map, telling him how sharp the turns are, how long the straights…

haha, i’ve gotten a similar scam but with a physical check. it’s a fake check of course and it’ll bounce, but i wouldn’t know for a few days. luckily i smelled a scam and kept on playing along. he sent 4 checks total, each with the exact same check number funny enough. i figured if i waste enough of his time and…

I was talking to one of the engineers at Mercedes and we were talking about Max and Red Bull interestingly enough. Red Bull saw the potential max had and they were the only team that could renegotiate/extend his contract while he was super cheap. Bringing him into the A team was a very calculated move to ensure…

Pascal is most likely to be tapped to drive on a year-trial. He’s one of the two test drivers for the team, with Ocon already slated for Sahara, and Wehrlein not having a ride yet, he’s the most available and he has experience working with the team. Additionally he’s been testing the tires for 2017 for some time for…

met an engineer at FF. he says things are coming along, and they have been busy working on LeEco’s other car venture also.

i’m thinking cayman gt4 pricing after the options to have it in the most fun configuration.

Actually in Planes 2, it was alluded that they are put together. The main plane has a transmission problem and can’t race anymore because the manufacturer has discontinued production and therefore no parts are available to fix him. so while you never see them being put together, it is understood that they are still…

who wants to make a bet the first exhaust systems coming out will feature dual exhaust tips

i’ll be there during press days (automobility). gotta look for the jalopnik crew while you’re there!

have you heard of truecar? basically the same type of service
