Love it, and love the early-spec car in the launch color, to boot.

Only example I’ve seen was a silver SS that was on display at the Mullin Museum in CA. Sweet, but I think I’d rather have seen the blue GT.

Ew.

Just give me an EB110 already.

I didn’t appreciate it at the time, but that design has *REALLY* grown on me in the past decade or so.

Want ‘em both.

Also, since that C8's the convertible, any better shots of the decklid, or a rear 3/4s?

VW Niche Basket?

(aware it needs a fixed roll bar for that pun to work better)

...I mean, given a base RWD Explorer XLT with no options now starts just over $36,000, it doesn’t take much imaginiation to expect the high-trim variant of the Explorer’s (future) big brother to reach for the stars with pricing.

Came here to post the Unipower, but the Mini Marcos was actually front engined.

I was about to offer him the same deal on a lightly-used suspension bridge here in Michigan. One owner; highway miles only!

I’ve learned never to pin much hope in early pre-reveal renderings.
Cheaty proportions? Exaggerated stances? Far more attitude than the real thing brings? Every. Damn. Time.

Prove me wrong, Hyundai. I’m hungry; I’ll eat my hat if I have to.

“...is that stain blood or automatic transmission fluid?”

“Yes.”

I really need to try one of those. Recently scored a fairly-new Elantra GT base car during a round of Rental Car Lottery (TM) in FL (was supposed to be a Mirage...score).

Enjoyed the car immensely, but felt it needed more power. N-Line seems to solve that. Hmmm. Might have to take a test drive...

“Yes, you can get used to these sorts of comparisons, especially when C8s are used and $45,000.”

....aaaaaand when will that be?

I get your point, but it’s still somewhat hard to compare a theoretical used car that’s 3-6 years out to a car that’s on sale *today.* 

*vastly*

Love this. Now, if I could somehow get it with that Japan-only Cb nose, it’d look even more like the nouveau Lotus Elite (1G) of my dreams.

Bingo. This is nearly identical, just shifted up a segment. Replace 2-door with 2-row and 4-door with 3-row, and boom. 

You and I may well know that, but again, you’re expecting the average American automotive consumer to be thinking logically. That’s a BIG ask.

I’m not here telling you “hey guys, this is why this shit is sensible;” I’m here telling you “I have seen the market data firsthand; it’s depressing as fuck and only going to…

Actually, a lot of the people who are shopping two rows either DON’T have kids (DINKs, single professionals, etc.), or don’t have kids in the home any longer. But thanks for the diatribe on parenthood?

Your problem is that you’re expecting an average automotive consumer to actually use logic when deciding what vehicle they desire.

Yes - amazingly enough, there are buyers in this segment that view the addition of a third row with the same stigma that minivans carry. They’ll only consider a two-row, even if the dimensions are similar, because three-row screams to them “mom machine.”

If you ever have the opportunity to watch people in automotive…

Mine had me do the same. Doesn’t mean they know jack shit.

One had no idea you could triple the number of presets available with a couple taps within a submenu. Taught him something new. I’d been in the truck 3 minutes; he’d been selling that model for 3 years.

The other had no idea that voice recognition commands on…

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
