Their sales figures don’t. They made a fun car less fun and have only succeeded in ceding market share to Mercedes and Porsche.

I fully agree. A Ferrari isn’t a Porsche, you’re not going to/can’t drive it every day. It’s a fun car and you can’t make a fun car less fun and still expect to sell a bunch of them.

I’m now genuinely curious because I’ve been hearing it from surfers since i was a kid (30 or so years ago).  Was it a military thing in WWII?  Since a lot of their kids were the ones who kick-started surfing in the US, maybe they got it from their military parents?

I’ve lived here all my life and I agree.  It’s expensive as hell, but if you can afford it, there’s nowhere else I’d rather live.  

It’s funny, I live in LA and I probably see a Ferrari multiple times a day on the road, countless Porsches, S-classes, etc and I don’t remember seeing one of these (or any Maser) in the last 3-4 years.

That’s a huge difference though. The way an F1-style engine revs, sounds, peaks, etc is so different than either of those that most people would have no idea it’s a 6 cyl under the skin.

In no world will this be “driven regularly.”

Clarkson should sue.

I gotta say the C63 is the right answer here.  That engine by that point was bulletproof (well past the head stud issues) and the car itself is very reliable - no crazy air suspension, etc.  And it’s by far the most exciting car of the pack.

I’ve been to Katzenberg’s house and while he may own a 1987 ford mustang, he also has some very expensive cars and a hell of a house to keep them in.

I led the development of Simpsons World. We ingested and encoded all of those episodes in 4:3 (up to season 20.5 where they switched to 16:9 natively). We did launch them slightly later but Disney should still have all those assets so this is surprising.

They didn’t even get 2 though. It was unsafe and ungodly expensive. All they got was speed.

My favorite is that there is a company called “OEM” which sells replacement parts for German cars (certainly Porsche).  They’re about 1/3 the cost of actual OEM (Porsche parts) and so far as I can tell through the few I’ve used, they’re of decent quality. I just think it’s brilliant that when somebody filters for OEM,…

Aubergine is such a much better color than this thing.  This is a neat little car but the color is much more “low rider” than “classic air-cooled Porsche” color.

Agree but there are some good ideas out there. If you order a Porsche for instance, you can have it delivered to one of the experience centers which at least makes it a special experience that is a lot of fun.

The problem with this car and every AMG is the same - that god-forsaken transmission. I really wish they would buy ZFs like everybody else cause I’ve owned 3 AMGs and my wife’s GLE AMG is about to go back to MB at end of lease and I’ve love to buy another one but that goddamn trans is just so dimwitted compared to a…

One of the best bargains on the used market right now.  The perfect car for somebody who loves classic cars - you can drive this and keep your fun car for fun.

It’s a good thing Pat Beverly is so passionate about Pat Beverly because nobody else cares very much.

It’s a TV show, it’s not consumer reports. Nobody watches Top Gear for hard hitting news and reviews - same thing here.  I mean if you think entertainment television is based on the foundation of hard hitting news, I have some bad news for you.  Also Alf wasn’t really an alien.

The only people who care are those who love Tesla more than anything else.
