While I’m no fan of the Wrangler or FCA, it’s bullshit a car’s safety rating is downgraded because it doesn’t have automous systems. A vehicle is not inherently less safe due to a lack of driver aids. Why? Because people fucking ignore them. Just last night someone cut me off while I saw their mirror flashing with the…

I’m deeply tickled by the surreal comedy of

They learned from Porsche: Make one vehicle that, in it’s base form, is an aspirational car that people could (naively) aspire to. The AMG GT. Now keep adding versions and upgrades and tacky wings until the price is doubled, yet the cost to produce is maybe 15% more than the standard version. Profit.

Id daily that. 

Just add airbags and a license plate bracket.  How hard can it be, right?

I still think the 997 is the best of the Water cooled designs. This and the 991 are just massive compared to it. The rear drivers side 3/4 picture make it look wider and a Aventador

Can we move beyond having dumb associations with “random” ordered plate combinations? You’ll never, EVER, not offend someone.

Proprietary head unit? Helluva way to talk about the missus, dude...

No that’s the 997 right now or MAYBE the 991.1 with the last N/A engines.

Champagne is for rich people with no taste, anyway. So it’s a perfect fit for Bugatti.

Whoa whoa whoa what Jalopnik are you reading where people are gushing about the Lexus grilles? All I’ve seen is criticism of it.

Or they’re buying it purely based on the value proposition, which means that they care more about what they know the car is than what other people think it is.

If they cared what people think, they’d buy German.

That’s just Fromage from the worker’s lunch slowly ripening in hard to reach places

We were going to duct tape a JATO unit to a Radio Flyer, but then we decided to stop half-assing it... and we built the CTR instead.

This ‘character’ thing is not binary. You can buy a practical reliable car that is not nearly as soul crushing as a Corolla/RAV4.

Really? I think they are nearly indistinguishable on the road. Even different models of the same brand are confusing.

I dig. Just needs the manual tranny and the blower from the Evora with “Suspension Tuning by Lotus” decals on both sides to make it truly weird.
