OK yes you’re right they have 15. It doesn’t change the fact that I doubt they’ll be there long enough for the normal person to just walk in and be able to get one. They have so much trouble selling their normal cars, I would bet good money that with the entire lease only costing ~$2k that half or more will be thrown…

Not sure about Nissan but the cars I sold had a clause in the lease that they can’t be used for ride-share or delivery. I’m sure people didn’t listen to it but they’d be at risk of repo if they found out.

Yes, yes there is.

Other than losing a lot of storage space and all practical access to the trunk, I think it actually looks pretty cool as far as body-kitted Corvettes go. Wasn’t there another one that was actually called a different model a few years back and was in all the racing games (maybe now I’m thinking that was a Viper)?

The catch is “must take delivery from dealer stock.” Being an S with probably no options my guess is like all lease special cars they probably got maaaaybe 3 of them? And the rest are higher trims, and even though they technically could do the same deal structure and get it to like $99/month plus acq and handling fee…

I’m hoping Alfa’s sales being down is mostly just the combination of the Giulia/Stelvio production ending/impending replacement plus the Tonale being so new. Mostly because I don’t want to lose my local dealer but I wish more people gave them a chance. They’re great cars and from all the long-term owners I’ve seen on…

Yup, and I wonder why no one else makes videos about vaporware cars and rolling models. Probably because every other reviewer has a little bit of integrity, realizes they’re bullshit and knows their audience will see they’re bullshit too. 

If you’re actually trying to experience the road trip, the worst place is anywhere that’s also available at home. I’ll give a pass to a quick fast food lunch stop if you can’t find a random local joint or food truck on your chosen exit, but if you’re sitting down at an applebees driving through SW US, you’re doing it…

If they didn’t transfer the title the state wouldn’t know to contact them saying there was no insurance on it.

Problem with data like that is it’s so uncontrolled though. If you looked at a head-on collision between a Bolt and a Suburban, (drivers don’t matter, assume a collision happened) the Suburban is going to be safer for the occupants of the vehicle. You’d need to control for driver type, driving style, not only…

I completely agree with you, I won’t ever argue that a car like this would beat the market. But there are people that will still buy a car as an investment regardless of the advice or standard market performance and just put it away without driving at all. I’d hazard a guess that this would do better as an investment…

I’m really surprised that wasn’t on here. Because yeah it was the fastest by far, and a lot faster than anything on this slideshow.

This exactly. The tests are using an immovable object so every car has the same impact, but the real world introduces so many variables.

The MP4-12C would honestly probably be a good car to buy as a pack-away investment. They’ve dropped fast, one sold with 46k miles on Cars and Bids last month for $81k, so they’re “cheap.” They’re also problematic, so not something you’d really actually want to use. Like the ‘80s supercars that got super cheap, there…

I think you’re giving Tesla too much benefit of the doubt on this.

Definitely, he didn’t seem to be over-dramatic about it, it was more Matt questioning the failure systems versus other by-wire systems that are deemed safe like on airplanes. While I’m not super tech-versed, the way he put it was that airplanes have both duplicate systems and secondary backups that work off of…

I feel this. Almost all the garages in my neighborhood are 3-car, and most families have two cars since they don’t have driving age kids yet. I’m sure they get on fine with space, but with three cars it’s tough. Luckily we’ve got smaller cars, the longest being my wife’s Macan, so we can easily fit them all in. But…

A few of these are stretching the “only sold for a single year” thing. I mean, first slide 1963 Corvette. the 1964 wasn’t a new generation, they just changed one design element. If that’s a qualifier to you, then my 1960 Impala was a one year only too since they changed the rear fins. So would the ‘58, ‘59, ‘61, ‘62,…

Hell no, this is full-on crack pipe.

328d’s both sedans and wagons were auto only, no choice on that.
