As a Virgo, I strongly second this opinion. You meant well, but generic luxury SUV isn’t how Virgos roll. I too would rather the ultra short range EV with quirky doors and a cork interior.
Not surprised to hear they are pulling the plug on the XM without a follow up (pardon the unintentional pun). I am however surprised to hear they are bringing back the 6 series. I thought it was a mistake when BMW killed the 6 series for the basically-the-same-but-more-expensive 8 series. Let’s see what happens with…
I agree that the GR86 could stand to use a little more “oomph”, or even that it could benefit from dropping the boxer engine; but AWD?
Took my dad down to the local GM dealer to take a peek at a C8. Sitting next to the C8 in the showroom was a new Silverado 2500 (my dad owned one about 15 years ago). My dad (6 ft tall) stood in front of the truck, looked at me and said: “how do they see a kid playing in the street?” I flatly replied: “they don’t.”
Feels like FedEx does a better job of handling expensive packages. Maybe they should get into the car shipping game.
Hey don’t feel bad; no Bugatti for me either. Instead of a hybrid V16, I’m “settling” for a 5.5L flat crank V8. 😬
It wasn’t that long ago that every government and NGO was collectively screaming about “overpopulation”. Now all of a sudden people aren’t having enough babies. Maybe the problem isn’t how many babies people are having at all; but rather, how effectively our governments can manage resources and balance externalities…
Please let this be a trend that catches on.
Agreed.
Yes. Hence my surprise that “it isn’t illegal to do this”.
I’m seriously surprised it isn’t illegal to do this. It’s like driving around with a giant mirror stuck to your car. Surely it breaks some kind of law, no?
Who knew the center of Hell was Nebraska?
This is always the pain of supercars. They are the very best cars built in their time, and they spend the least time actually being driven. That’s part of the reason I don’t find it entirely unreasonable that companies like Ferrari and others are asking for some exemptions or carve outs from new emissions regulations.…
No Bugatti for you then. Sorry.
I absolutely love the engine and the engineering. I’m not entirely sold on the exterior design to be honest. The long pointy nose just seems weird in comparison to the almost blunt front ends of the EB110, Veyron, and the Chiron.
I honestly hope that other brands are paying attention. EVs have an advantage on power; they are/will become the performance kings. When an EV shaped like a brick is just as quick as a Ferrari, maybe it’s time that Ferrari goes back to its roots and gives us something an EV can’t: a soundtrack that can make an angel…
It’s a fun party trick the first few times, but it wears thin pretty quickly. The other thing is that this car weighs over 5,000 lbs; which you do feel in a corner.
