Then again, the average luxury buyer isn't buying a CTS-V, M Series, or AMG.

Now it's just occurred to me that this is probably sarcasm. My quick excuse is that I'm an engineer so I don't pick up on this shit quickly. If it was, I now feel stupid... lol

This is common knowledge. No one says "at least 200 lb weight-loss!" or "at least 300 hp!" and then releases a product with 500 lb weight-loss or 500 hp. Sorry, but you're being naive if you think the Camaro will lose 500 lbs. And I don't need to have inside info to know this.

When they say at lest 200 lbs, they really meant to say 202 lbs.

First off, what information do you know about the Continental that no else does that allows you to make these statements? Second, this won't be a 5 series competitor. Third, Cadillac can most certainly compete with BMW. Fourth, good for you for telling us about your BMW purchase in an article about Lincoln.

When did Ford ever say the Mustang would lose weight?

What? The Ecoboost is 3500 lbs and the GT is 3700 lbs. This brings the Camaro down to the Mustangs weight at most.

I have never heard of what you are accusing VW of doing, but I would only be a little surprised if you could provide any specific instances of that happening. However, I am surprised that you have never heard about Ferrari do things like this. They are well known for these stunts. This isn't about them having people…

You didn't specifically put blame on McLaren but your entire comment was talking about what McLaren did to prevent the comparison. You never mentioned what demands Ferrari wanted, only the demands of McLaren. It came off as though you were "blaming" McLaren for the whole incident. It was Ferrari that's the main issue…

You're putting the blame on McLaren? Ferrari is well known for modifying their test cars for auto journalists so they review a better car than production models to make them look better. It's obvious that this is what Ferrari has in mind when they will only do it if the car comes straight from Ferrari and not any…

Ferrari wouldn't do the test unless they could provide the car straight from the factory and McLaren wouldn't do the test unless all the cars were stock and production.

Seriously, use a VPN or proxy server and watch it on the BBC website. You're going to get the best quality, you can watch it live, and you will have no worries of viruses from shady websites.

It's 23 seconds off the official Z06 time.

Yep, Kansas City Assembly in Claycomo, Missouri.

FIFY

Get a VPN (plenty of free ones out there) and watch it on the BBC iPlayer in smooth HD without going to sketchy websites.

Are you trying or just naturally this stupid?

I did mention that I was talking about net price, not MSRP. I factored in incentives because it's more accurate price to what you'll actually be paying for the car.

The STI, probably the most comparable competition for the RS, starts at under $35,500. The Golf R starts at just over $36,500 but that's just VW being more expensive. I think my estimate's low end was a little too low. My best guess would be $34-35K. If it's over that, it's over by a few hundred.

I agree. I just don't see it going much over $35K for the base. I'm expecting it to be AWD and compete with the STI which starts under $35K. And it being a more premium version of the Focus to begin with, I don't expect to see as many options available like on the ST. I honesty think it will be hard to option this out…
