Can’t really watch the old Top Gear because I’m only really interested in current/newer model cars. So I always seem to bounce from new show to new show or various Youtubers who do reviews. 

Humans: 1  Moose: 0

He asked why TSLA is worth more than Ford and I explained it in a succinct manner. My name doesn’t change the reality of the situation. Your comment does nothing to advance the conversation and hence is dismissed.

“Consumers are stretched at this point, budgets are tight,” Wes Lutz, chairman of the NADA, told reporters following a speech to the Automotive Press Association in Detroit. “Payments have gone up. Cars are going up $1,000, $1,500, $2,000. It’s a huge concern for us.”

But how else can all of the 30k-millionaires lease their new 3-series if the rates are at 6%! Think of the payments! These are dark times indeed.

Ford is boring and said they’re done making small cars.

Ideally, cars would get infinite fuel economy, and emissions would be nonexistent. But that’s not possible, so how do you decide where to stop?

Agreed but that’s an NYPD traffic officer car, aka the dude who directs traffic at bridge exits and random intersections. I don’t think he’s expected to be in a high speed pursuit lol

but dinged it heavily because they didn’t like that it didn’t have a camera monitoring the driver’s attentiveness

Na, I kinda agree with you here.. they name dropped Tesla but then only talked about Volvo? The word Tesla is not even mentioned ONCE in the article. If you’re going to name drop you have to at least talk about it without me going to another site. 

Some of us like our eyes “at truck-nutz level,” thank you very much.

Yeah, I never got into NASCAR because it’s just too damn long. My buddy would religiously watch the races and I’d tell him, “just call me in to see the last 10 laps.”

Defining a sports car by 0-60 times is patently silly at this point.

Um, the 2018 Miata is faster 0-60 than the RC300h through my rudimentary Google skills, unless I looked up the wrong model.

They murdered the EV 1 - we’ll NEVER FORGIVE THEM! /s

Lemme rephrase because I cannot edit my comment at this point. Nothing about a base BMW strikes me as sporty in any manner. That’s why I emphasized the sporty aspect of my original comment.

On many of these so-called sport sedans, manual gearboxes are becoming an increasing rarity.

It’s a hand-built motor, one person for one engine, AMG-style. It puts out 565 horsepower and 467 lb-ft of torque.

I love everything about this review, particularly calling out the “Euro-snobs” who would consider this car far below them. The GTR is iconic and it’s still a great super car. I’m looking forward to seeing what Nissan does with a refresh.

I’m assuming you mean 80 MPH unless otherwise marked. Because 80 MPH in school zones, tourist-filled London blocks, or small suburban roads will never work.
