If the sales figures of the F-type versus the sales of any other $125k car reflect that, I’ll believe you.

This car would be interesting to me (amazing exhaust note aside) if it were not 2 tons. Why did Jag feel obligated to motorize EVERYTHING in their sports car? I don’t need motorize air vents or door handles, thanks.

If you’re referring to the bike race, the R8 has AWD and it’s pretty hard to get sport bikes off the line well- they either wheelie too much or bog a little more than you’d like. I expect the race wouldn’ve gone to the Panigale if they ran the R model.

Heads-up Jalops:

just make it a POWERED sliding door. :)

The why may be because having a huge double-length single door for what would normally be a 4-door design would mean the door (and associated track and motors to move it) would be very heavy. Lightweight materials like carbon fiber are too pricey, and side-impact crash standards would be hard to maintain with a very…

Exception that proves the rule.

If the whole double-length door moved, it would be massive. You’d need lightweight (expensive) materials to pull that off. Then what of side impact safety standards?(!1!)

That’s a pretty sweet looking concept van. But looking at how far behind the windshield/roof line edge the driver seat is placed, I doubt you could move a sliding door forward enough for comfortable entry/exit in any well-designed car with aerodynamics in mind.

How do you get the front doors of a four door car to slide back? You’d need a 2-door design to eliminate doors that swing out. Them be some big-ass doors on longer sedans and SUVs. Though it would validate BMWs decision to call 4-door sedans “coupes”.

Fuck you, Jim. You probably chuckled at all the Mustang memes on here, but then come charging into this comment section with completely baseless accusations of racism to some guy making an anecdotal observation? You’re the dick.

What does scribbling offer me that I can’t get across with the “pointing right” and “Okay” emojis next to each other?

I’m not telling you how to live your life, but its not like Meff Mouff here knew there was a camera at that intersection. So, uh, I guess what I’m saying is “plan accordingly.”

Then...

I only reiterated his steak analogy to try to help you understand his point. If Ford advertises the ecoboost as the higher performance model over the V6, it needs to outperform the V6. That is the expectation set by Ford. They charge a premium for the ecoboost because of the claimed performance advantage.

Your weird point about “deserving” vs “earned” aside, Jack_Smith’s point was that the company selling a product needs to provide the consumer with whatever was promised. If you were told you were buying 8 ounces of steak and only received 7, you’d “deserve” the rest of your steak.

I think what you’re thinking of is a situation wherein the charge requires proof of intent. Then you could argue a lack of intent (mistake). Ignorance still wouldn’t defend the action. I could see a judge taking a person’s ignorance to the crime into account with sentencing, because sentencing can be pretty arbitrary…

The picture used for this article is probably the worst picture I’ve ever seen of one. Shit color, too.

The 40 in the brown paper bag between your thighs and empty flask on the booze-stained velour dash cover make you look like a drunk. The sawing of the wheel just makes you look nervous.

So that’s how paint ends up all over the freeway.
