It’s not even brutalism. This is a car that has no design language whatsoever. As someone else said, it’s a pure distillation of function over form. The only coherency is the assumption that everything is where it’s at in order for the car to be fast around a track, which it undoubtedly will be.

Not a lawyer, but a contract to do anything that is illegal is automatically void, therefore there would be no civil recourse.

It would be a criminal matter, however, regardless of whether the criminal action was committed or not. A conspiracy to commit a crime is a crime unto itself. The only real defense you’d have…

Not a lawyer either, and what I’m about to say is purely intuitive. 

To me, it presents two possibilities, both of which would find Tesla responsible if not also legally liable. Given that they’re the ones who are creating the technology that drives the car, if they claim the product works as intended, and that results…

I was in NYC last weekend and saw someone who street parked their DB12 on a very, very busy street. I just chalked it up to NYC being NYC.

A friend of mine (graduate of the Air Force Academy, competed on their track team, and at the time captain in the Air Force) die of heatstroke after going on a morning run after a night of partying in Miami some years back. He was only in his mid-30s, and while the partying certainly contributed to it, people really…

I don’t disagree.

However, there’s a significant overlap between the people that can afford a super-luxury sedan and the people who can afford a customized Sprinter or something to that effect, and what is rather commonplace is that they simply get both. This becomes even more likely when you have a large family/group…

A friend of mine has a custom Sprinter van, and let me say, for people who have never been on one, you really wouldn’t want to be driven in anything else unless you’re by yourself (or with one other passenger), worried about parking, or care more about exterior appearances of a vehicle you’re being chauffered in.

Definitely NP. Great vehicle all around. Even though it looks its best in black, I’m personally fond of the styling of this generation/iteration of the M45.

It was actually Jared Leto in Paolo Gucci-guise.

“Hey, I love the company, I love the truck, it’s my dream truck. But just give me a new truck. Please.”

This right here is the problem.

There is not a single corporate or business entity I love. Not a one. No company I’ve ever worked for, nor any company that I am a regular consumer of their products or services. Our…

But put another way, is the inclusion of an LSD worth a nearly $13k - 15k difference in price? I’m not particularly in the market for either one (and I’m admittedly a Z fanboy), but I can’t imagine that significant of a price gap being assuaged by the inclusion (or lackthereof) of an LSD. But hey, it’s other peoples’…

Oh no, I understood exactly what you meant, and I agree: you are getting a lot. The issue is that not only has the amount of competition, car-wise, increased a great deal in 25 years, but most of those competitors offer much of what the M5 offers, if not more.

Because of that, BMW can’t really afford to charge as…

Maybe so, but in getting a lot, you’re also looking at a great deal more competition for the M5 now than back then.

In 99, the only real competitors for the M5 was the E55 AMG. The RS6 wouldn’t debut for another 2-3 years, and no other companies offered a luxury performance sedan in the midsize range. BMW was…

I love Astons. They’re arguably my favorite car brand. But this is ugly. I get that the people who can actually afford hypercars want their’s to stand out from the more pedestrian supercars, but the styling for some of these (not just AM) are absolutely hideous exterior-wise.

I’m sure is a significantly larger vehicle,…

You perhaps misunderstood my point, so I’ll clarify.

I said that I, myself, would avoid cycling on roids due to the dangers involved. The reality is that too many dangerous drivers, and drivers who specifically don’t care about the rules and regulations vis a vis cyclists, are on these roads, and many of them are…

It might be an unpopular opinion, but I agree with it.

I’m not a biker myself, but if I was, there’s not a chance in hell you’d see me on a road without a bike lane. Simply too risky of an endeavor, road laws and regulations be damned.

You’re absolutely right about the Corvette, but the one interesting thing I’ve found is that most people make the distinction between the “old’ Corvette (any of the front-engine, rear-wheel drive models) and the “new” Corvette (the C8 we have now). Even still, in the minds of most, the prototypical Corvette are the C1…

That’s a bit of a skewed standard because the 911 has been around for so long, and you could conceivably apply that to plenty of specific cars (or even car types). The basic pickup truck is timeless. The ideal GT is timeless. The sedan is timeless.

By definition, nothing can be retroactively timeless. Nothing can be…

Going fast is only one component of being a good grand tourer. The other component is doing so comfortably.

There are plenty of cars (including other GTs) that are faster than the LC500, but no one is buying any GT for raw performance, let alone at the prices that most GTs command. Put another way, people didn’t buy…
