On production car side, Mercedes makes V8s for Aston

STOP BUYING AUTOMATICS

They offered the cars with a manual transmission.  If someone purchases an automatic when a manual is offered and they have both of their legs, they deserve it.

I stopped being loyal to BMW when they stopped making cars that focused on driving.  Ultimate driving machine?  Maybe 15 years ago...  No manual, no thank you.

Then just short the stocks if you feel they are overvalued.

“Again, the LS wins, especially on the highway: (16/25mpg Corvette, 14/20mpg M3).”

I recommended them to my friend after his wife stupidly refuses to drive a wagon, and reported back that the Kia dealer acted like they were some insanely high demand vehicle and wouldn’t budge on their price for just over MSRP.  They got a Honda Pilot instead, for under MSRP...

you realize that the 918 was a hypercar costing over 5 times more than an i8 right? Thats like saying “man Mitusbishi really blew it with the mirage,  it could have been their M3 but they put too small of an engine in it and messed up the marketing...”

“6 spd manual”

That new grill is for all the Canyons I believe...

I was referring more to your handling comment. The emergency lane change maneuver where someone/thing comes into your lane suddenly and you need to quickly swerve to avoid it. You’ll be thankful that someone cared about handling and a balanced chassis when you avoid a wreck because of it.

“Drove a friend GLC43 (The AMG lite) and that thing is wild and fun, trashed it around for a while and not once I did not felt in a performance car.” Until you drive the C43. A higher center of gravity is inherently flawed when it comes to driving dynamics, its physics.

“I only drive on the highway so I don’t really care how well it handles or accelerates”

three pedals or no pedals in a fun car.

Better handling allows you to swerve around the other cars in traffic faster. You can do emergency lane change maneuvers more safely. lower vehicles are less affected by wind on the highway. You experience handling in everyday driving more than you think you do.

the higher ride height makes for worse handling.
