These sell pretty well in Europe, so it is not irrational as you think.

I love the 4 and 6 series Gran Coupes too. I am not super excited by the A5 Sportback but so what, I don’t have to buy it.

To each their own. I will track my car, nurse every hiccup it gets, and maintain every record. However I won’t get worked up if someone hits my bumper parallel parking.

DC, with people from all over the country “parking by feel.” There is every reason to not park on the street.

My car sits next to the neighbors 3-series, SL, 911, A6, ect. Some people are dicks, one lady slammed into my wife’s car parking and had to use insurance, but most people are just going through their day too. The only way to avoid anything happening to your car is to put it in a bubble and walk everywhere.

New BMW, used Porsche. I can afford a garage, there is one in the basement of my condo. My point is that cars get hit sometimes, they are just cars after all.

I can think of no possible scenario where it is ideal to have inferior systems. Sometimes it is an unfortunate reality, but never ideal.

“Would it be a better strategy to use simpler systems that are far more hardy but less capable?”

I disagree. I park my Porsche and wife’s BMW on the street. I accept that they will get nicked and scraped, but at then end of the day they are just cars and I have insurance. I am much happier using that money to travel and go to events. That’s just my view.

It does a great job of balancing classic Aston looks with a modern take. The back looks a lot like an F-Type to me.

It will kick out Mexican drivers?

I just ask people what is most important to them in a car and find the one that does it the best.

I could give the typical unreliable speech, but these cars are reliable as long as the expensive maintenance is done. The answer to the question in the headline is this: an SL and Miata could not be different to drive. The SL is comfortable and powerful but will never stop reminding you that it weighs as much as a…

I think it just “de-tunes” itself to a power level that does not require the water injection. I doubt the car would experience any type of failure if the water ran out.

That dude is the worst kind of presenter, technically very smart but so dull. He is the kind of guy who would see a beautiful car and ramble on about its bore and stroke ratio.

The only $10k E39 M5 you are going to find has 150k miles on it and will blow up as soon as that supercharger gets tightened down. Also, easier to maintain engine? Something tells me neither of these two are really option for you.

Most metal tour bus ever.

Cadillac Escalade: show the world just how low you can get a lease payment to make your budget.

They have finally created a worthy competitor for the S63, that’s fantastic.

You seem to think there is an unlimited number of silver bullet special forces to solve all problems. There are extremely limited numbers and they have lots of other jobs to do.
