Toyota Yaris. That thing has a been an ugly, mediocre blob since it was introduced. I feel like the Rogue at least brought some sportiness to its segment when it was introduced, though now it looks pretty middle-of-the-road.

Umm. Pretty sure the Wright brothers started from the top of a sand dune to pick up speed for takeoff...

Traction is also a big issue. The S65 is only available in RWD.

Porsche 912. The under-powered version of the sports car famous for killing you with snap oversteer. Tiny engine? Check! Rusting to oblivion? Check! Deadly handling dynamics? Check! Worth $20k+? Check!?!?!?

Yes, he is. Speed limits are limits, not minimums. Bikes aren't allowed on roads with minimums.

You don't have to use the fancy expensive tools. I did a belt job on a 944 with a few Harbor Freight tools.

Porsche 924? $1000 prices you out of a running 944, so you have to go with similar handling but an even more anemic engine.

More like the front part of the exhaust. Its from headers to cat.

That may be the ugliest thing I have ever seen. It looks like it has a cow-catcher from a locomotive.

Since when was Cash for Clunkers a jobs program?

911 is a 2+2, so it doesn't count either if you are going to use a strict definition of sports car.

From a societal standpoint I agree, but drag racing would focus on motors and power delivery.

They could. Or they could accept millions of dollars from someone for it. Which would you choose?

Drag cars are actually a great application for capacitors, since they can hold a lot of energy, just not for very long. Cars could charge for a minute at the starting line, then have enough energy for a few second trip down the track. And tesla coils make everything awesome.

This is more akin to every car having the same type of fuel, not power. The motor and power conversion would be where the innovation happens, just like an engine and fuel delivery system.

They aren't carving all the way through the pumpkin. If you just remove the skin, the light will shine through the meat.

I agree. I'm sure the Panamera Turbo will do well in the US, but I doubt many of the executive models will sell here. Those are for China. Panamera sells to wealthy family men in the US, not people with chauffers.

Wow, my jaw hit the floor. That is beautiful. Would make a great GT car that would probably compete well in that space.

It's above my price range, but if I was shopping for an E-class or Lexus I would absolutely consider this. I've owned Hyundai and Kia and have been impressed with both. Luxury cars have terrible resale value anyway, which is generally the biggest reason not to buy Korean.
