So the study literally says that doing things that cause motion sickness may trigger motion sickness? Wow, what a breakthrough.

You're probably right, the C-Class feels more like a tiny S-Class than an A-Class. But still, I would expect my pricey Porsche SUV to be a bit nicer than that on the inside.

Friends bummed they couldn't wait for a Macan S and had to get a Q5 when their BMW started breaking down, at least saved a lot of money.

The Macan starts at 59k Euros, a C-Class is 30. That's a difference in two classes.

It is quite a bit smaller, yeah, but it is roomy enough to steal sales.

The Porsche Macan shares its platform with the Audi Q5.[10][11] The wheelbase and suspension configuration are the same as the Audi, but the engine, transmission, suspension tuning, interior and exterior are unique to Porsche for the Macan. It is also 1.7 inches (43 mm) longer and 1.4 inches (36 mm) wider than a Q5.[12

Interesting. I was hoping for more difference between them.

Well, being on par with the C-class isn't what I personally would expect from a car starting at 80k $ and easily ending up in six digits.

Nope. The Macan is actually Q5 based.

Is the interior adequate for the price tag? And does the whole car feel similar to the Q5?

That’s the best description I’ve heard so far regarding the difference between it and the Phantom.

Damn it. That was a stupid mistake.

Now playing

Tommi Mäkinen still holds the record for funniest thing ever said after a stage:

It'll come out a few months after Toyota introduces the RWD, V8 Camry.

How and why on earth would a WRC car aspire to be a RWD Jag or Merc? That's totally off. Rally cars are their own thing, without AWD they are lost. Saying that any of the four manufacturers is aiming to make their subcompact resemble a RWD platform car is crazy.

Yep, that’s what our friend who took care of us (he lent us his second flat in the city center that he only uses during work days for coffee breaks - it’s great to be working for the government) told us too. He came back to Rome for us actually.

Right. I remember actually walking around there in that hot, hot summer air of Italy. A great city.

It’s the Via Torino.

Allow both WRC and GTE/GT3 cars plus classes lower than that. And make it a Goodwood like celebration of all things automotive. That'd be amazing.

Fill all the gaps!
