Hahah what? $250 sqft? WIts about $400-$500 sqft now for downtown space.

"Those people want the badge" — I keep seeing this stated as fact, but if it were true Lexus would have never sold a car and Audi would have never been able to turn itself around.

It is interesting, I suppose, but how is this anything more than a goofy near one-off?

I flat out don't believe that. Unless they are counting the Sultan of Brunei and throwing off the averages, the 84 number doesn't make sense based on the owners we see driving them around.

You listed three things that high-end buyers care nothing about. "Lets get the Genesis sedan, honey, it weighs less than the s500"

Good to know the sorority sisters and higher end soccer moms will now have choice other than the Evoque.

If I wanted and off-brand luxury car I would just get an Equus

Two months after my second was born, I got a 911. I commute daily with it including dropping them of at daycare. It can be done. I fully recognize that a minivan is more practical. Not everything in your life needs to be practical.

The problem is they don't have the money to design a new car. Evora sales were disappointing and they are so broke they couldn't even afford to re-certify the cars to meet the new US airbag standards.

These got dangerously close to $30k for ones in decent shape about 10 years ago, which was my price. I guess the rest of the world figured out how neat these Panteras are as well. Now the prices are significantly higher and show no signs of leveling out.

Everything you said, plus the fact that I don't know if they realize how much less safe they are making it for themselves, long-term. Police operate best (and are safer) when they have the cooperation of the community. When they are warned about crack-houses they may be walking into or get a tip about crimes that may…

Ya, I don't know exactly how the control arms are configured in a 918, but "difficult to control" is probably the understatement of the year when talking about a failed control arm.

Meh, my wife is Asian and my kids are half-asian. I guess this is a little offensive, but honestly it isn't much more than making fun of the accent. If it was hillbilly in overalls with a Texas accent would I be terribly offended? Probably not.

Completely unacceptable that there is no Plum Crazy a.k.a Statutory Grape.

For a long time this wasn't something I understood either, until it was explained to me. It is much better to have a kid run up and down the aisle for a few minutes and let off some steam than to have them cry for 4 hours. As long as the kid isn't messing with the other passengers you should be happy running is all…

I am squarely in the "looks great" camp. I love it. But, as a former NA owner, looks were always a distant second to fun in the Miata world. Gotta test drive and see.

Oh, its ugly. No arguments there. And yes, mine is a stripper too. Its a 5 speed with manual windows and locks that didn't come with a radio. Nothing to break. I very much look forward to giving it to my (extremely disappointed) child some day.

I would guess that he failed to qualify or was going to fail (i.e. some new test got more stringent) and they didn't want to embarrass him by forcing him out. He was asked to retire and didn't want to, or wanted some kind of dispensation. By all accounts he was hard working and a minor celebrity so it would seems…

As the owner of a Versa sedan a.k.a the car of choice for the barely-employable, I can tell you why people get the sedan: Its a lot cheaper. I think the hatch back added something like 20% to the price.

Better reliability than what? A Le Car? That era Mercedes was apocalypticly bad.
