Dealers wanted to play that “adjusted dealer markup” game on cars, and now they’re surprised that people avoid them more than ever...news at 11.

They should have named it the Milhouse, cause that front end...

By “empty” do you mean “without rats”?

While I 100% agree with you, from the article:

Just replacing the top on a Continental will run you anywhere from $10-15k easily, and that’s not inlcuding the windows and windshield, which were damaged according to the article. By the time you’re done with just the repair items (and removing the atrocius wrap), you’re probably close to that $80k range, and you…

“$699 dealer handling fee”

If you’re only getting between 120-150 miles on a full charge, I hope those trips are super short, cause...

I think I like it because it is so unapologetically over the top. No one watched those movies to see a bone-stock anything, and the work on this appears to be pretty good. If someone wants a stock one, they’re out there for sale. But this is for everyone else.

How much do you want to bet the same people who complain about the economy, price of gas, groceries, etc., are the same ones spending money to (literally) burn on this stuff?

Ironically, someone I know in a car group just bought one (and it was their first Lexus ever). I’d only seen two or three on the roads, but I like them.

I agree, though when the Cadillac Seville came out with the bustle back, I hated that then, and now I like it. I’ve never seen one of these Genesis’ in person (all I see are the SUVs), so I’ll wait til then.

I have a feeling I know what to expect from Lyndsey’s search history...

idk...I kinda like this one by him (boy, he had ALL the greatest hits!):

(shrug) could be worse...and yes, that is also a C6 under there, somewhere.

Actually, I had the opposite reaction; the exterior works all the way until you get to the back, then it’s like...wth? Where’s the rest of the car? It almost looks like there is one more white colored piece missing or bumper to be installed, but I think this is supposed to be everything.

Funny how, if this happened in a normal car, you may wind up with no A/C, but you can go about your day with the windows down. But this car? The entire truck shuts down because of that?

I wondered about that, cause if your flight is that bumpy, I’d guess the ‘seatbelt ON’ sign would be constantly illuminated. And even if it weren’t, just in the interest of self-preservation, I’d have mine on for that reason.

1- I mostly agree with this;I like these, but I also understand the reality of replacing Brembo brakes, aluminum bodywork if something unfortunate happens, and the other XJ-R exclusives; hell, the insurance for one is probably abnormally high because of the aluminum component alone (I remember when Aud came out with…

Yup. Newest car I bought was three years old by that time, and I still have it!

(shrug) For me, it would have been a 5.0 Mustang. Simply because those things were SO damn tuneable, you could pull up to one at a light and have no idea if it were stock at 225 HP (keep in mind that back then, that was sufficient; even your JDM example in the article only made 200 HP), or did it have headers,…
