I thought these were a terrible photoshop. Some sort of digital wheel swap gone awry. Realized they weren't and was just sad and confused.

I'm beginning to realize that some people don't understand that humor is subjective and making broad, self-important statements doesn't make them sound as interesting or insightful as they seem to believe (guilty I know).

I posted a shot I took from a more top down angle. It can be found in the grey wasteland of unapproved comments.

Quick shot I got from general admission day.

I get that. I understand that they were high end, expensive cars. My point was just that I don't think they were considered sales failures (maybe they were?), but the twins selling multiple times as many units are. Maybe its because they were intended to be a very limited model though. I was just trying to contrast…

To each his own I guess. I own an FR-S (which I'm sure is obvious by my brief comment history consisting of only defending sales figures lol) and I'm thinking of going supercharged on mine to preserve throttle response. Some of us like them precisely because they don't have the peaky nature a turbo tends to bring out…

Oh sales are certainly slowing down, but I think its just that the model has reached a saturation point. They really need a refresh, but I think the initial point that relatively low horsepower numbers are the reason for poor sales doesn't hold up. People who like higher HP cars tend to point to poor sales of the…

The S2000 was for sale in the US from 1999 to 2011 and sold a grand total of 66,547 cars according to the wiki. The MK4 Supra was averaging about 2k units a year according to the best info I can find. I know it does nothing to disprove your hypothesis of people not liking lower hp cars, but older versions of the MX-5,…

I don't think that is at all the point he was making. I think he's more talking about preordering things. Give the game a week to come out and see if it seems worth your money. A lot of us that preordered Destiny felt like there would be more to it and were let down, but had we waited for the first bit of reaction we…

I guess that's fair. The counter point being that MS has in house game studios and has expressed an interest in fostering indie development, but your point still stands. At the end of the day I think he was tired of dealing with it and MS was the one that could write a big enough check which I guess is the very…

I just went back to reread his original objections and I don't think either of us had it right. His objection is not about a big company just that he doesn't like Facebook in particular and that he finds it "creepy". He's worked with MS in the past and I guess is OK with them.

If I recall the objection to the oculus buyout that you keep citing was that it was a crowd funded project that turned and sold to another company as soon as it was viable. That was the same objection a lot of people had with that sale. I don't think he ever (and I could very well be wrong) stated that an indie…

sales have plummeted on them
