Our company made parts for this engine and it was so violent it kept breaking the thermostat, went through about 22 design iterations before it somewhat worked. Majority of the design changes were on the fly but the program but we had a blast working on it. Fun times!

That’s a pretty impactful cleaning house on day 1 for a new CEO. All of those people knew what was coming and given the chance to leave by saving face.
He said 2.0T and FWD. None of those are FWD. Just 2.0T ain’t always bad, see Koenigsegg 2.0T TFG. Nothing good is ever FWD though.
I guess that’s fair, and to each their own. To me, it doesn’t seem sporty enough to run with the sporty german cars, it’s too much money to be an appliance car, and doesn’t seem luxurious enough to compete on the high end. Even Camrys can be hand with this level of luxury. I guess to me it fits a market segment that…
The new 3 series looks pretty good. The 4 series isn’t but that’s a different story. And meh, the whole unreliability thing is overblown for the newer gen. Both my F30s have been entirely trouble free for 5-6 years now. I rather take the faster option and reliability be damned.
goddamn!
This. Also the Shelby GT350, which is only slightly more expensive than a loaded Supra yet has a manual gearbox and That Engine.
Because they know they could still buy the new Z in 10 years after they’re done with the Supra.
Perhaps they want a car some time in the next two years?
At least Mercedes said the right thing:
Particularly weird assumption since Bubba’s the Wallace who drove the BLM car.
Nah, but it’s useful ammunition in our many attempts at getting shit done.
Things change. Imagine you had made a countercyclical investment and bought auto and tire stock in April. Then you would be confused and rich now. The best kind of confused.
I definitely can’t push them that far, but I’d argue Zack and Ari are several hundred levels of better rider than me.
Hey, this is America. We can be stupid in LOTS of different ways at the same time!
Few weeks ago I bought the sedan version for $800. W8, manual, 4Motion. Needs a couple odds and ends like sunroof glass and a new passenger door. The glass will be a junkyard run away and sourcing a black door and correct door card shouldn’t be too hard.
To the contrary, this is only viable if you wrench yourself, otherwise it’s a bankruptcy mobile. You have to buy this in full knowledge it is likely to be in pieces on your garage floor at some point.
Nah, I think they’ll go a bit retro.
