Marketing Departments tell lies?!?

Rhetorical question. Google search shows only average reliability as of 2017. (not going to look really hard for 2019 stats)

Expensive, cramped, not fast, not light feeling, bad riding and historically poorly put together. Seems like a winning combo. My question: who’s still buying these? and why? its been a long time since marky mark stole that gold.

Fewer people will pay for the higher class, or use miles/cash to request an upgrade, if they know there’s a chance they could get it for free. That appears to be the airlines’ rationale.

I’m pretty sure the biggest track day mistake is thinking you can do all those things and finding you can’t. In a crashy sort of way. Alligator mouth, hummingbird ass, etc.

By ‘pull the trigger’ I hope you mean shooting it in its engine block.

I’m betting the real value of the metal and stones is a small fraction of £50M. Also, who needs that much jewelry on-hand in one place? I smell insurance fraud.

I found this S60R in red with the coolest shifter of modern mass-produced performance cars for sale not far in Connecticut with pretty low miles for half your budget. I would scoop it up and raise hell in it, if it were me, though I think keeping an eye out for a good V70R isn’t a bad plan, either.

Is it a great car? No. Is it a fairly unique car for a low price? Definitely.

Wear a codpiece.

Now you're just fucking with us.

Well you’re half right, one man’s opinion.

It does:

Red Bull has too much money.

“Formula 1 to announce budget cap for 2021"

Humans aren’t infallable, they will still make mistakes regardless of how much training they have.

How do you suggest we “increase driving standards”?

Mine was a GTI GLX with the VR6.  I didn’t have the 1.8T.

Oh... my... God... Becky. Look at those wheels! They are so... big, it looks like one of those rap guys’ cars. But ya know, who understand those rap guys? They only drive them because, they need to fit more prostitutes, ‘kay? I mean, those wheels are so big. I can’t believe they are just so round, they are like out…

Meh I dunno, the dated styling, middling performance, and questionable reliability? I say this as an owner of multiple VAG products. For a couple grand less, I’d be all over it, and already planning a few mods for power.
