knob shifter?   0/10 would not bang

My theory on consumers who SCREAM for more touchscreen controls is that they have never actually spent time in a vehicle with excessive touchscreen controls. (Or they are Tesla stans)

Ugh, I bumped on that too.

Commenter over there complaining about it having physical buttons. WTF? Who wants more touchscreen, especially in a rig that you’re gonna have the doors off getting dust, dirt, and mud everywhere?

The operative word was YOU.  Didn't say anything about other people. 

They are fine for select items that your life doesn’t depend on.

I read the article about three times and was wondering where the hell the Spanish factory was.

This is a big deal in the car community, because Harbor Freight is a go-to for pretty much every automotive wrencher I know

I have no real qualms about working under jackstands, but that's because I buy big, beefy jackstands that won't fail or topple over unless something cataclysmic happens. I still leave the jack extended under the car unless it gets in the way, though.

Next week we will read

im pissed...because i clicked on this

I can’t wait until the titles are:

Start-up Finds One Weird Trick to Pissing Everyone Off.

I’m pissed at Jalopnik, not at the SUV startup. Mrs Wilson at number 43 agrees. 

Except they are not talking about building a plant in Spain, but in France. Not sure where the author got the Spain notion from.

Plus with the ongoing clusterfuck that is the Brexit [England, why are you doing this to yourself still?] it is unlikely they will choose the UK if they can avoid it.

Well, so is the money I plan to use to buy it. 

Oh I get the “fastest” part. And to be fair most of these production cars are actually driven anyway.

That’s okay, as long as the system’s not short by 1.5 PSI volts.

I’m assuming the only seat leather color choice will be dark brown

So, 0-62mph? For Lotus, the game has moved on. Its claim of 0-124mph in under six seconds is ridiculous, but Ferrari’s SF90 (6.7secs) is in that ballpark, and it actually lags fractionally behind the Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport (5.9secs). But from there upwards nothing road legal can touch it.
