Thanks for a superb (and rare these days) piece of proper journalism!

et tu Mazda?

What type of suspension is it running? Designed and built in the US im worried it will have leaf springs (not hating US, just US SUVs that handle like boats - looking at you Suburban)

I don't think Taycan

I really think that was an opportunity missed to take on board some of the really constructive criticism above.

The limit should be 6 Absinthes when flying

Turn that frown upside down sir! We have never had it so good!

For me its the weight. It’s really put on the pounds over recent years. If they had kept it lighter than the 911 by a large margin like it used to be then i’d definitely buy one. Now it sorta feels a bit like the poor-mans Porsche.

Spoiler alert: “Russian man” and “Florida Man” turn out to be the same guy!

holy bejeezus! did not know of this but glad you posted it! 

Hmmm... I bought a $200K car with NO buttons on the steering wheel. What an idiot I must be..

What a fascinating video. Thanks for posting!

Must. Kill. All. Pandas

Yup nice work if you can get it :)

They get 6 weeks holiday and their ‘standard’ working week is 35 hours

They don’t get anywhere near that! Even under the old testing regime they were 30% at best and they were all gaming that system.

I get where you’re coming from. I think its really debatable whether these hybrids are bringing that efficiency however. We’re starting to see now that lots of turbo/hybrid mpg claims by manufacturers were highly misleading and only for the very specific testing conditions that existed up until September 2018.

I understand the sentiment, however when you say that you are also inadvertently saying all cars should be heavier. A lot of people (myself included) are skeptical whether that is actual progress. 

This! If I bought this car i’d always see that and it would bug me no end.

This. FOM & FIA both have an extensive history of distorting reality to cover their butts
