No, silly, those aren’t Trans-Ams. Those are Chargers and Camaros.

I’d argue that for the foreseeable future, you’ll have to pay dealer markup on a C8 and from what I’ve read they’re heavily discounting NSXs, so the actual difference in price is probably...$0, in some cases. 

It’s...so hideous that I can’t look away. 

A non-running 4x4? Spray paint “Jeep” on the side and Tracy is all in.

My neighbor has two of them, for some reason. 

Whoa.

They say all publicity is good publicity, but I’m not sure the manager of Lafontaine’s used car department agrees.

For me, probably the XJ12. It was then-new, and the 6.0L 300 hp V12 was a pretty impressive spec for 1993. But it was just flat and uninspiring and boring. Handling wasn’t good, ride wasn’t good, and the throttle pedal had a weird detent that made using the power feel far from effortless.

Lard is better than Turd, I guess

In terms of performance, relative rarity, and ease of ownership, Porsches are incredible—modern Porsches have Toyota levels of reliability and aren’t really that expensive to fix (as long you don’t go to the dealer).

You mean it answers the mail? 

He’s definitely already got that.

I drove a Beijing Jeep here in the states back in the early 90s. It was impressively slow. Like...new words were needed to fully capture its lasitude. It was not slower than my buddy’s ‘66 Bus, but it was not so much faster as to be notable.

I can’t stand it! I know you planned it! 

I’m going to need you to put that in 1/4 mile terms. 

I mean, no offense, but while that would be a good use case, it’s still a niche market. There’s a reason that no one builds a pickup the size of a 90s Ranger anymore—like the mythical brown manual wagon, lots of people say that they want them, and then turn around and buy full size F-150s.
I’ll grant you that the next…

Or a turbo 4.0L inline. Or a twin turbo. Like the (contemporary) Lotus Omega. Actually, a twin turbo six as a response to GM’s Syclone/Typhoon wouldn’t have been completely nuts.

Brexit has really aged well, as a national decision.  

“I HAVE A BEARD TO HIDE MY WEAK CHIN” doesn’t fit in that size font. 

To be clear, I’m not comparing the C8 and the Model 3, or claiming that the C8 should be an EV or even a hybrid. I love that the C8 exists (though I’d love it more with an actual stick), and I’m frankly astonished that GM is planning to sell it for 60K to start.

My beef is just with the suggestion that the C8 — a…
