I don’t find it funny at all. It’s like a joke in incredibly poor taste.

The Prius is a fantastic car at doing what it was designed to do. Also very reliable. I have nothing but respect for Priuses.

And they’re still less resistant to flex under side loads than a double wisbone or multilink design, because the damper body is still used as a structural member in the suspension. And they’re still less effective at negative camber gain under compression than a double wishbone or multilink design. They’re still…

No, Honda flat turned them down. 

This may be a hot take, but at this point I feel that performance versions of cars have never been less relevant.

I suggest a 1956 Jaguar XK140 roadster. Something classic will always steal attention away from modern exotics. 

Well, that’s true. VW Group is more of a conglomerate of car companies instead of a single car company. Looked at that way, I suppose Porsche and Lamborghini are sort of specialists, although most of the cars Porsche actually sells now are powered by V8s and V6s.

Or I could just drive Japanese cars and stay far away from German junk. 

If it’s expensive and performance-oriented, it should not have struts. Multilink is fine.

Not in this case. In this case, were I ignorant of this piece of shit existing, I’d be less angry. 

McLaren’s first choice for the F1's engine supplier was Honda. They only went to BMW after Honda turned them down.

I thought video games were supposed to be, y’know, like, funner than real life. 

I’d rather have a car that just doesn’t break in the first place. Even if the repairs are free, my time is valuable. 

On the one hand, I do appreciate the mechanical diversity.

Eh, no thanks. I think I’ll just watch “Six Pack” again. 

“Powered by BMW, until warranty expires.”

Technically, the Austrians are building it.

Yes, I would still be upset even if the two companies kept the collaboration quiet. Because BMW makes an inferior product. The BMW engine and electronics will be neither durable nor dependable, and the BMW suspension is a MacPherson strut design.

The engine code for this one is POSNO2. 

OK, so this reminds me of something, and I think it’s actually something you might find interesting. I was watching old episodes of Miami Vice, and I noticed that in many of the night shots, Crockett’s (fake) Daytona had the rear turn indicators lit constantly along with the taillamps.
