    So you are kind of trolling. I mean, I don’t go to David Tracy’s articles and say, “old Jeeps suck, just get a brand new Camry and it’ll solve your reliability problems.”

    Looks better? Let’s not get distracted.

    Clearly we have different priorities. Even when it comes to just handling, factors like road holding, staying flat in a corner, and lateral G are no more important than steering feel and accuracy.

    New cars are all too synthetic (Evora might be the only one left that gives you driver involvement). I always wonder if the manufacturers are just easing us into autonomous cars ...

    Seems like the problem is the base Macan? I have only read similarly harsh reviews on the Macan when it’s the base model.

    Of that list, I have driven an S6. It’s NOT any more of an enthusiast’s vehicle than a Macan GTS (similar ballpark price). The S6 is a very fast luxury sedan for old people.

    Agree 100%.

    I have very different experience, likely affected by the fact that I live where I drive to work on slow, twisty roads.

    When I win the lottery ... these are my real dream cars

    Not even BMW makes a 3-series competitor now. They make luxury sedans that compete against Lexus. 

    That’s the correct take. :0)

    My point is that there is more to motor vehicles than just utility. To some people, style matters. IMO this is why we have a mini-explosion of X4s, GLC and GLE “coupes” and Cayenne “coupes”. Some people like to turn all their 666 hp into tire smoke, others like to have good steering feel. Spending over $60k on a

    When I look at non-minivans, I think, “What’s the point of a crossover/SUV? I have 38 cu ft of trunk space behind the 3rd row and 296 hp” I mean, I am not a fan of the X6, but I get that sometimes people just want to stand out. Otherwise we would only drive minivans, F150s, and Camrys/Accords. A BMW today is purely a

    I bought a new 2011 R3 in 2012.

    Once upon a time, we had the Ultimate Driving Machine.

    I don’t look at residual values, so I don’t have experience. It seems the 7 series, A8, and S class drop the hardest, whereas specialty cars (M, AMG) somewhat slower. In general, though, cars with comparable starting price, mileage and age can’t be more than 10% different from each other, after 3 or 4 years? Or have

    This was McLaren Boston. I think it’s just going to be a show piece ... like outdoor art?  Definitely not a daily driver, certainly not for New England winters.

    Not really that practical? Yes, this is, after all, a 2-seater with zero luggage space. ;)

    If you drive 10k miles a year, spread over 5 cars is only 2k a year per car, so ...

    Oh, the E90...
