What are you talking about? If you option it up with retarded shit like $3,000 color combos, $5,000 stupid ass executive package and $1,000 fucking carbon fiber rear view caps then, ya, it hits $99k. If you get normal options and the competition pack its $82k.

Speaking as a 996 owner; Not really. The IMS issue is WAY overblown. Yes, its a risk, but show me any other car that offers the same dollar to fun ratio with a lower TCO. Corvette, Cobra and thats about it. 

So there won’t be a manual M5?

I was an idiot teen with a pickup and 35" Mickey Thompsons. Did this stuff.

I went with the LS460 for a lot of the same reasons you mentioned. Old guys with kids need competant dailies from time to time.

I had to go look at the website because, honestly, I couldn’t even remember what the models looked like. First, the website is a joke, its a badly photoshopped product shot with low-resolution imagery of the car. Second, I have to say, they are pretty boring cars still. Very vanilla machines clearly designed at a…

There are modern Buick fans? Huh, learn something new every day.

Seriously, are their any brands of car air fresheners that DONT smell like Yankee-candle vomited in a synthetic pine forest?

My 4 year has seen the trailer about, uh, 50 times now? I assure you that this movie will be a hit with the intended audience; Sub-10 year olds.

“They are turning the company into an on demand bus service for people late to their McDonald’s job or court date, instead of a nicer taxi alternative at a better price for city dwellers and party goers.”

Jesus, get over yourself. “Bringing down the quality of this site” by making a joke? Commenting on the aesthetics of a car is kinda the point of a site like this. We are not curing cancer here. And, for the record, I am objectively right. VW couldn’t shift but a handful Phaetons despite being incredibly well…

Most beautiful? Do you also think room-temperature oatmeal is super tasty? Is flat bud-lite your favorite beer? The Phaeton is so boring it could put a history proffesor to sleep. 

Have we ever heard any sales numbers for these? I have only seen one FF on the road ever. I am not sure who buys these things, and why. (Obligatory; someone is going to post the image of that _one guy_ that uses his to haul skis)

Sure, but there are tons of better options; Magna-Steyr, Valmet Automotive, Lotus, etc. Why in the world would you pursue a company that only has experience in low-volume ultra-high end production rather than work with/buy companies that have the EXACT experience you need?

I certainly understand the concept of an acqui-hire to get the expertise, but this seems like a terrible plan unless Apple wants to be in the high-end supercar market. Mclaren can offer nothing in terms of self-driving expertise. Mclaren can offer nothing in terms of mass-enginering. Mclaren can offer nothing in terms…

Here is a list of “Top Tier” gas providers, for the curious.

Really? I absolutely hated the integration.

This makes sense, how?

What? Its true some of the things these CEOs say are razzle-dazzle, but lets take UBER for a second. Its on pace to do more than an estimated $15 BILLION in revenue in 2016. Being unprofitable isnt unexpected, rather its nearly a requirement based on the ways these investments are structured and the growth targets…

Because this works with your smartphone, is web-enables and integrates with Alexa. If all you want to do is turn on one light, of course this is stupid. However, if you want to wire up your house, I doubt you want to wander around with 20 fobs on your keychain.
