Karate lion is the best lion.

Wrong on both counts. Not a snake. Not eating the dude.

I’ll make another nomination, just because it tends to be a bit more obscure.

Danger noodle logo is good logo.

I like the Peugeot logo. The newest version is:

And even so they’ve outlasted the Pireli tires.

I’ve not had great experience with Bridgestone tires. They didn’t wear out quickly, but the ride and handling just didn’t come close to that of Michelin tires.

I’ve had the Pirelli Scorpion AS3, they did not last long and their traction in wet weather was only so-so. When the time came to replace them, I went with the Michelin Cross Climate, which ride better and have already outlasted the Pirellis.

Counterpoint: No, we need fewer 1,000 hp+ EVs. This is getting ridiculous.

Just keep in mind that at the base price this comes equipped like an entry level GLC, not a “bells and whistles” GLC. Which means that $50k Toyota probably has more standard features than the GLC. MB and BMW are like expensive hotels, you have to pay extra for the WiFi that comes included everywhere else.

There it is again… that god awful primer gray paint. Mercedes, please have some class. 

But that’s the “starting price”, I suspect similarly equipped to what is being shown here is likely going to be a top trim with some added optional accessories… in which case $80k+ wouldn’t be unthinkable.

I suspect that quite a few of these items might appear on the “first edition” trim level at a ridiculous price tag. Then perhaps in a catalog of accessories that can be added to other trims. It’s a great way for car companies targeting this “rugged off-road” market to make more money by offering a variety of official…

Still looks broadly like a minivan in this picture, but ok…

Twin turbo V8 is my guess. Keeps it close to the original F40 and easy to make more power; just turn up the boost.

My thinking on buying an expensive car is: plan to lose your ass on it, and be pleasantly surprised if you don’t.

“Still love the truck tho!”

I think some automakers have already realized this, for example Pagani. Nobody would accuse a Pagani of being “slow”, but they also aren’t really trying to set any lap records. And truthfully I think Ferrari is also already aware of this; and their response is the Icona series, cars like the Monza SP1 for example. 

I’m aligned with you on this. There should be a place in our world for cars that are about the experience of driving them; and that experience should be allowed to be fun and exciting. Performance EVs are terrifyingly powerful and capable (and heavy, but hopefully that will change as technology improves); but they are…

I mean, this is the same person whose charitable organization had to pay a fine for not spending the minimum amount of money required for it to be considered a charitable organization. These people handed over their contact information and were actually expecting to be paid?
