Pig will fly before the Republican legislators in Florida passes a ‘use’ tax on boats. The rich GOP yacht owners would run them all out of town.

Miami-Dade is going to lose, I don’t see how anything that is officially registered as a boat with the USCG can be taxed under the current law. Eventually a judge will have to…

“but semi-decent chance they don’t before BK comes knocking.”

Could just as easily be Burger King...

Mmmmmm, Whopper......

Yeah, it’s not even a close comparison. A new GTI has similar features AND a more powerful engine, for less.

The Type-S, when it eventually comes out will be 45+.

It’s VERY blue, the best blue... Just hit 1000 miles yesterday, let the fun begin!

Yes, take rate right now it about 60/40, DSG to 6MT

I’ve been in it for a week, the button and dash issues are so fucking overblown, it’s mind boggling. It took me 2 days to get used to it and it’s great.

How dare u.

100% should he buy it out, even if he plans to turn directly around and sell it.

I bought out my lease for 16,500 and then turned around and traded it into a dealer for the car I ordered, they gave me 25,000 for it....

They best part, he was pressured to lose, and then they fired him for not WINNING ENOUGH GAMES!!!

He was really fired because he refused to tank the team and the owner wanted a high draft pick.

Sales will 100% not drop off, they will sell every single one they can make. All VW dealers I’ve talked to have waiting lists for GTI/R’s a mile long.

I have a R on the way and when the GTI came to my local dealer, I went and played with the controls and came to the exact opposite conclusion. With the shortcuts you can add and the fact that almost everything aside from climate controls can be done from the steering wheel, it didn’t bother me at all. And I currently…

I don’t know what the hell is going on back there, but it’s not good.

No it’s not the photos, the car is just fucking ugly and doesn’t look good in any lighting conditions. I’d go back and buy my 2018 WRX before ever being caught dead in one of these.

But wait, a new contender has entered the arena!! Just got word from the local VW dealer here in Indiana that they want an extra 10k... TEN THOUSAND, for the MKVIII GTI they just got.....

As others have pointed out, it’s an optical illusion. That cable is attached to the BOTTOM of the upper deck, not the top. They went over it and cleared it by quite a bit.

My wife surprised me on our honeymoon by renting a ‘convertible’ from the rental place when we got back because we had almost an entire day to drive around Florida before we needed to be at the airport.

Stratus, Cirrus, Dodge, Chrysler, same.

They were absolutely horrible cars with terrible service records.

It was all light hearted until I got to 14.... Anyone who mentions the Cirrus as anything other than a steaming pile of shit can hop in a cannon and get shot strait into the sun.

Absolutely not Torch. No.

That was my only take away. And as a former WRX owner, it’s just terrible.

That’s what makes it really exciting to drive though...
