I remember thinking this car was business in middle school. Why? Because Shaq, Mike Tyson, and Diddy had them. Shows you my priorities back then.

I would probably toss the guy a beer over the No Hillary sign.

Torch, you are correct, sir. As many issues as the car had (I know a few people who owned them over the years - all have been unreliable as hell), people spend WAY too much time bitching about cars other people drive. If some 70-year-old retiree wants to put chrome rims and flame decals on his PT cruiser, or throw…

I get why it failed. The Macarthur Causeway is the main route between downtown and Miami Beach. It gets super congested during commuting hours as it is. Closing it for a few weeks leading up to the GP would be a royal cluster for everyone in the area.

IMHO they should put one in the Bos-Wash corridor (update Watkins Glen?) and one in California, which is the hub of American car culture these days. Laguna Seca would be an epic race, though I understand the local NIMBYs are super pissy these days. Sonoma is another possibility.

Acknowledged, though if I were rich enough to easily afford a $150-200k sports car I could probably find another $100k sitting around for the car I really wanted:)

Agreed re: the brand. Acura blew it by focusing entirely on rebadged Honda sedans and SUVs. “Near-luxury” or “affordable luxury” brands make little sense in the today’s world of mainstream-brand sedans and SUVs with leather-lined interiors and loads of tech on one end, and German luxury cars with killer lease deals on…

Inflation-adjusted income numbers aside (as others have pointed out), there actually is a car on the horizon that will give you exactly what you want. It’s called a C8 Corvette.

Probably in the minority here, but I love this car. Would I buy it over a 488, Huracan, or 720S? No (and maybe that’s part of the problem), because I like my supercars a little more raw and angry. But I saw one on the street last weekend and was really impressed by its road presence. It even sounded quite good (may…

Neutral: F-150, for now.

All you people claiming high-horsepower cars are pointless likely haven’t spent enough time in high-horsepower cars. Driving ANY modern car, even one with 100hp, at or near the limit in a built up area gets dangerous (with the exception of freeway ramp blitzes or the occasional 3-10 second straightline blast). You can…

Neutral: I negotiate everything, especially the BS fees and add-ins. Those are almost purely profit for the dealer, and many are gimmicks. 

Um Mr. Nissan, you need a replacement over here in the Supercar aisle ASAP.

Corsair looks way more upmarket than those two Cadillac. The XT5 is already, but the XT4 looks like a non-luxury product to me. The surfaces, trim bits, taillights, etc are heavy-handed, making the car look cheaper than it really is.

There is nothing classy about the Chinese Communist Party logo covering half the car.

Good-looking truck, but the original Syclone was a rocket for its day. 280hp back in 1991 is about like 550hp today. SVE needs to up their game.

Car and Driver’s road test of the last Versa described it well: “This car is great argument for buying a used Accord.”

???. Base-engine Mustangs have always sold well. Many people looking for a nice, affordable, cool-like coupe/convertible to tool around in don’t care about having the extra power.

996 is the best example I can think of, but it still kept its basic configuration. The Porschephiles lost their minds over the water-cooled engine and the styling. That the engine cooling method provoked such a backlash shows you how tightly Porsche has managed the 911 formula.

VW GTI: wussy car, nerd car, etc.
