Great work by the Faraday Future engineers. Although it sounds like Jalopnik has been shitting on the company and I myself have been putting in my 0.02 about the company’s (mis)management, I really do appreciate the hard work the engineers are doing behind the scenes because they are the real reason behind the company…

I have an unreasonable disdain for this car. It’s not as good looking as the Miata it’s based on and the engine just seems like crap to me. The body looks like a Dodge version of a Miata, rather than a Fiat. Overhangs seem much larger too, and while that may look good on the original, blowing those dimensions up to…

Yeah but this is Jalopnik. When AMG and M’s are given as (poor) recommendations by the staff, it’s up to the commentariat to correct their misguided and misinformed ways.

If he wants to sacrifice some HP for more room, indeed the last gen GS350 F-Sport is a great choice. I like the front end design too. But in a few years, the current GSF will likely depreciate like rocks and be around 40-50k so that would be a nice upgrade at that time too

I think it could be a little tight for him perhaps, but an AMG would be even worse. Those seats are so heavily and narrowly bolstered it would be almost impossible for a big guy to get comfortably seated. I would say the ISF seats are great for daily driving as well as spirited driving. The door aperture isnt that…

You’re not alone. This is the right answer. The only answer.

Lexus ISF. All the good of the AMG and M except without the long term service cost nightmare and unreliability. A budget of 40K can get you the best year (2012+) with an updated suspension design, best looking wheels for the platform, LED DRL headlamps, and updated interior. The Aisin 8 speed auto is very competent,…

I’m glad he’s having fun, at the expense of suppliers and taxpayers his company is intentionally smokescreening.

While you’re busy asking yourself “are we done here yet” everyone else that isn’t slow is asking “what are we doing here?” Come on blue flags, honestly.

Thanks CAFE

Now this is how you make JDM great again!

Wouldn’t the appropriate metaphor have Lewis winning the popular vote (the one that doesn’t count) since Rosberg was champion?

Thats interesting to know. It does highlight that political maneuvering within FF leadership were pulling it in the wrong direction. If there was a prototype of the actual car they planned to offer (from what ive read it was a crossover type van or suv) then its a shame that those who worked hard on it never got to…

I wasnt there long enough to call it a “tenure” unfortunately. I was also not in a high enough position to have any influence on those decisions made but I did work closely with purchasers and engineers so I was fairly in the loop with not only finance but also the development and supply chain manufacturing side.

Again, I wouldn’t go so far as to generalize the whole of Chinese companies and their employees as dishonest corrupt liars, but yes there definitely is an ethical cultural issue with how Chinese do business. Chinese people would rather try to save face by denying something blatantly obvious in the hopes of turning the…

I wouldn’t write off all Chinese-backed companies and make it into some xenophobic thing. What Geely is doing with Volvo should be considered the new standard of what Chinese Automotive companies should strive towards.

So I was a former Fisker employee who was asked to interview for a position in Finance at Faraday a year or so ago with the promise of some fairly outrageous compensation at least for the position level. I took one meeting with them and decided they were full of as much shit as Fisker was, if not more so. But I…

Maybe Red Pillers don’t see the irony in drawing inspiration from a sci-fi movie about a black man (Morpheus) giving the hero white man (Neo) the red pill and providing the window to “enlightenment” in the first place. Blind leading blind I guess

So you mean the douchebags that tell people it’s POUR-SHUH are also wrong and even bigger douchebags than before?
