This is actually a pretty cool idea. It kind of reminds me of the modification slider in a lot of racing games that adjusts the final drive between acceleration and top speed. As a kid I’d go all the way to top speed because why wouldn’t you and start losing races because it was so slow, then go all the way to…

Have you driven a modern auto like a ZF, DCT, etc or are you just being obtuse? CVTs feel like my parents’ old Grand Caravan with the 4-speed auto that slipped to no end but if it were actually broken.

I feel like there’s a culture problem with Chevy dealerships that causes these types of stories to keep popping up. From all my experience with Chevy dealers including selling for a few months back in college, Corvettes and hi-po Camaros were always worshipped as these untouchable God-tier cars that no one but the…

Glad to see someone agree with me on the Alfa, I have been talking them up for years and finally put my money where my mouth is a couple months ago. Bought a 2024 Giulia Veloce in Rosso Etna and it’s the only car I’ve caught myself looking out my office window at daily.

See now you’ve got it wrong, it was never meant for track days. It was meant for wealthy weird nerds and retirees to say “look how fast it is!” to their friends as they floor it at every light.

I think this is too tame a solution for a third row pickup. Give the planning to Torch. I could see some crazy sliding roof that would move the entire rear portion of the roof back into part of the bed with the folding seatback being the lower part of the partition and fold into the most forward part of the bed itself.…

I have two:

I don’t really see how luxury car tech would be a bad thing, especially if you’re working on true luxury cars and not like the quick lane at a BMW dealer.

Can’t argue with this one at all. If you want a cheap way into getting some attention at Radwood or really any other car show with something different that’s also fun to drive, a mostly clean (other than the TMU) manual RWD turbo Euro hatch oddity is a great way to do it.

And less than a week later they’re already down to 8, with plenty of 2025 S and SV options still available. Won’t be long before they’re gone and the $279/month with cash down on a 2025 will be the only option. And like I mentioned on another reply I bet with how hard a time they have moving Armadas, Pathfinders, etc…

All manufacturers have different rules on how you can advertise deals. The manufacturer structures the money factor, rebates, and residual, and have national lease offers usually on the base models. But dealers are able to advertise their own deals with different down payments or mileage allotments. Some manufacturers…

To be fair beating a Model 3 interior isn’t that hard. It’s just a big downgrade from our other cars I couldn’t ever see getting one as a replacement, only to use a few times a week to keep the miles down on my Giulia. But even so, even though I don’t like EVs if I was in CO I would definitely consider it because of…

I haven’t driven a new one but I have driven a first-gen. Space doesn’t automatically mean it’s nice, good visibility is one thing but being a basic economy car (this is S-base model only at this deal) it’s going to be a downgrade from a normal daily driver.

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.
