If you’re going to eat the depreciation anyway, this is shockingly close to a Twin-Turbo Stinger GT. Which is RWD, get’s similar mpg and is way more powerful.

Yup.

Preach brother!

Don’t forget the Stinger! (Because a lot of people are going to)

Right! And then we can focus on the real enemy: CVTs.

That’s how light it is! P

the interior of VW’s van is a tastefully appointed living space.

They’re pretty closely related. You can even exchange some ignition and fuel components iirc. 4C engine is kind of a “cost is no issue” version of the Multi-Air.

It’s not an afford thing. It’s a value and timing thing. Fall is, in theory, a better time to buy a roadster like this. I can “suffer” my E90 for a few more months for the $3-$5k difference these things seem to vary between season.

Largely moot as virtually every part in this is either Mazda or been at some point sold by other MOPAR makers. The engine was in the Dodge Dart.

you may want to spring for an extended warranty since most of the parts are of Italian origin

This is just awful. Couldn’t make it past about two thirds of the trailer. Awful.

Since it’s got a transverse engine on a FWD platform it’s not a Bimmer as far as I’m concerned.

A shocking number of these can be answered with BoostFlex. I’m with Pat-to-the-GEO.

I’m disappointed, not really angry. About 75% of what EM does is sheer genius, but he has to accept his limitations. It was folly for Tesla to ignore a century of automotive manufacturing experience because they wanted to be a “disruptor”. That Silicon Valley arrogance is the largest danger the company faces, not my…

We’re going to (rightfully) dump all over this, and they’ll sell by the hundreds-of-thousands to suburban jamokes anyway. *sigh*

I ate this for a year. Done. Two reasons:

I’ve got an ‘11 328i 6speed that I got in ‘13 with 12k on it. The Model 3 was *supposed* to be her replacement but, well, here we are.
