I had pneumonia TWICE as a kid, never crossed my mind that it was that deadly. Though the second time I did once get a coughing fit while walking down some stairs so bad that not only did I nearly pass out from lack of oxygen but I nearly fell down quite a few stairs.

If you view a car as an art piece I can see that mentality but this car isn’t an art piece.

It’s one of those cars that at the time may have seemed to be a future classic, and even for a few years after it went out of production it had a little hope, but since then it’s been totally overshadowed by newer cars.

Based on CPI a sale at $40k is actually a loss too.

I’ve said this for a while, and I had an Ecoboost Mustang.

It’s as fast as a GTI or an ST, and RWD is far more exciting than FWD. And though it doesn’t have a V8 it’s still far more exciting to look at than a hatchback.

I agree, but is your example not basically what Musk did? She asked for a raise, and he essentially said “let me determine your value to give you the proper amount”. He concluded that her value was non-existent in her current role and suggested she pivot to a new role, she declined.

I disagree.

What was he supposed to do? Just give her a million dollars because she asked nicely?

My mother has owned 2 A5s, a 2013 and a 2018, in the time that I have owned my Mustangs. I would argue that the Mustang is not far off the Audi in premium trim. There are some areas that could be better, but considering the difference in price the mustang is far from “cheap” feeling.

What about it feels cheap? I’ve owned two now, they’re nice cars. Everyone that rides in mine agrees

The new Mustang doesn’t feel cheap, especially if you get a premium.

That’s pretty smart, but I can’t imagine how much of a pain it would be for the user to program “quiet zones” as opposed to quiet times. Perhaps if there was an app or web interface to program it from outside of the car.

They can be pretty damn loud even if you aren’t hammering on it.

The 10 speed probably will. The aero is not very different.

It won’t.

I usually got 23 combined, probably 70/30 city/highway. It got as much as 30-33 mpg pure highway.

Now you can have a half empty sweep and know there’s pixels there not being turned on!

It’s not a worry or an insecurity, it’s just part of the experience.

Because this is a very early prototype/proof of concept so why would all this extra stuff be done?
