This is one of those rare times where a company found the absolute perfect and overbuilt part, then realized it wasn’t economically feasibly scalable for future models, even their own supercars. So it’s a low-volume part with extremely specialized manufacturing, that lasts a long time on a car that usually isn’t…

Other than the wheels, I really like the look of this. The front end is very late 70s-early 80s so following what’s retro right now but IMO in a good way. The roof reminds me of some of their older concepts, we all know the cantilever-look roof is in right now but this is different enough to make it not look too…

Had the video gone on I bet good money he would say “aside from that the car’s great! I’d buy another one in a heartbeat!” like all moronic Tesla stans do after their CVS receipt-sized list of complaints.

I’d rock a 4C with a DCT, but I just gave up my manual BMW for a new Giulia and that’s the one thing I miss, hell if it was even only available on the QV I would have taken the financial risk on a heavily depreciated used one!

Wisconsin I completely get. On the highways there’s absolutely no lane discipline compared to neighboring states, it’s like go over the border from Minnesota and everyone immediately gets into the left lane to camp.

That’s the point, they’re always spelled wrong that way in craigslist/FB listings.

The XB and in small part XA were definitely bought more by old people, but you’re also forgetting about the TC which was a cheap Civic SI Coupe wannabe. Between that and the FRS which was most likely its main seller in later years would be enough to skew the results towards young speeders.

And yellow brake calipers!? What’s up with that?

I generally don’t like Lexus at all but the LFA has definitely grown on me and I’d argue the opposite, the car has aged well. I also wouldn’t compare it to an AMG GT-BS, that’s a track monster so not even close in experience. If you’re going to compare it to a Benz it’s more like an SLR. A bit off-the-wall styling…

This has absolutely nothing to do with the type of car you buy but what type of person buys certain car types.

Ha, I was the same way for a long time. My daughter is at a point where she randomly decides to dump her entire bag of cheerios into her seat, and she routinely takes off her shoes/socks in the car and puts her shoes back on without socks, so at least one of them gets buried somewhere. I’ve had to at least weekly take…

I used to sell Mercedes and got to drive a lot of cars during that time, I agree on paper the G is stupid. But drive one if you ever get a chance, they really are special feeling, even compared to a Range Rover or other big luxury SUVs. They’re stupid, but I get it.

Couple things:

1. Alfa Giulia QV for daily and modern performance.

I honestly don’t get what’s so wrong about these. Being an American car company they could have messed it up in so many ways mechanically. It could have been FWD, could have had a 4-speed auto, could have given up on the V8 due to size constraints and gone with a V6 with less power (I don’t deride the Prowler for this…

That’s user error, when you spill root beer on the controller your A button might stick.

I was going to say hit it with some lightning, it’ll slow down enough you won’t be able to crash into anything.

It’s important to remember that these are not smart systems, they look for very specific things.

My new car has a big sunroof up front and a glass panel over the rear. I’ll only buy cars that have sunroofs unless it’s a convertible. The main reason is I like the light coming in and can always close it when it’s hot out, but also because I won’t do a light headliner (too easy to get dirty and impossible to clean)…

Get a BMW with a B58, go up or down from an M340i to suit your size needs. They’re plenty quick, easy to find basically new within budget, and the engine is reliable.
