Ah phooey- read it but shiny objects distracted me, or squirrels  

The answer still is

Kharkovchanka (Russian: Харьковчанка) or Kharkivyanka (Ukrainian: Харків’янка, “Woman of Kharkiv”), code name: Manufacture 404S, is a model of Antarctic off-road vehicle made circa 1957–1958 in the Soviet Union, designed and built by the Kharkov Transport Engineering Plant, Ukraine^{[1]: 8:14–15:46} and later…

Porsche needs to do an equivalent stunt where they race a Cybertruck against one of their cars, only... there’s snow on the ground.

So we live in a world where a BMW is less fun but more reliable than a Benz.

Different powertrains, which is way enough to make a difference between good and bad.

My new favorite is the slideshow of slideshows!

I was an automotive engineer at the time this test was being developed. I worked for a major automotive company in R&D and specifically in doors.

Tell me that’s just the “Coupe” version and a proper hatchback will be offered as well like now.

“Turbo” is basically Porsche’s version of “Limited” - just a designation that indicates the top trim in the range.

Exactly! And a used GTI is FAR from bulletproof.

Maybe with a bit of creativity it can at least be hidden when the doors are closed...

No, this is a decent buy and your alternatives are stupid. Don’t buy this Italian sedan, buy a less reliable Italian sedan with an F1 transmission or a Toyota Coupe, seriously?

If I’m buying a cheap Maserati as an alternative to a used BMW, I’m living with that door card. Not worth the fix.

Who’s cross-shopping a Maserati and a FR-S?

I mean, if you look at this from the “I want a sedan and I can get a Maserati for the price of a Camry, awesome” standpoint, yes it’s probably a bad idea.

“this is just a issue of when a “offroad/work” vehicle becomes a mom carrier that does no real work and needs efficiency on the normal roads.”

This is always worth re-posting (straight from the Cybertruck page):

The venn diagram of people buying Cybertrucks and people driving on original factory tires until they are bald is just a circle...
