You make a good point...
The thing is, most BMW interiors today are kinda chintzy for a BMW interior.
Torque and power curve > peak hp
So you have a car that would be difficult to service or warranty in case of any reliability or even simple tuning issues, and a barebones interior at that. Cool.
Except they’re the best driving BMWs of the current BMW world.
Chillout man, it’s just one trailer.
I’d say Tesla’s response is more of a story than anything else. Can you imagine of GM or Ford or Toyota came out after an accident and said “well yea, but this can happen to any car”. Like yea, no shit it can, but you don’t publicly say that you nitwits.
Because most doors aren’t massive, heavy, electronically-assisted systems that open upwards. A regular side-opening door getting stuck might be tough to break open, but these sound much more difficult.
SLS doors blow off. Aventador has the same technology.
These falcon doors will have a special place in automotive history, alongside automatic seatbelts and the first gen BMW iDrive.
The WRX screams, “I’m a Javascript developer who was told this is a cool car to buy because it has all the cool stuff that makes a cool car cool: AWD, Turbo, Six Speed, Spoiler, Disc Brakes, and comes in electric blue.”
Is this the new flat brim, Monster, Ken Block wannabe, vape bro chariot? Or does the WRX still hold onto that throne?
I’d much rather a twin-turbo with T-tops, but NP anyways. These are so much better looking than the 350 and 370 Zs no matter what trim they come in.
You must have really been distraught to wait 3 years to buy a MkV GTI... The car pictured above is a 2003 or less.
Remember Sport Compact Car magazine?
Cruisers like this are made of steel. Just the way their customer (such as me) want it. Weight isn’t a deciding factor. If you want a lightweight crotch rocket, there is plenty of plastic-trimmed 500cc chainsaw engines with two wheels available for your suicidal ride.
How would you suggest making a large, comfortable cruiser any lighter without using considerably more expensive materials and still retaining all of the equipment and technology this package provides? Honest question, since your engineering prowess exceeds that of Polaris.
Dude, its not a race bike.
