I am not much of a fan of video, but it’s cheap as hell other than depreciation in summary. I bought a used ‘14 (manual transmission, 2LT, laguna blue, mag ride) w/ 1800 miles on it this Summer. Autocrossed it, drove it a ton during the Summer, etc. Has 4500 miles or so on it while in storage for Winter. 0 problems.…

;) The C7 began to get scary to drive on the mostly cooked Super Sports around November when the pavement got cold. Burnouts were had in casual acceleration, gears one through four. It has been hiding in the garage since. I strongly recommend that procedure moving forward for the Aston and agree with your sentiment.

I guarantee it’d sound really fucking cool. That’s about all I can guarantee.

Yeah, you go forward very slowly and then after that you stop upon impact regardless of other vehicular inputs. It was like that time I got convinced to co-drive a WRX at a rallycross, but the guy didn’t tell me that he forgot his snows at home, so we ran that shit in the pouring ran outside of Rochester on mostly…

You did this on the Summer tires? Godspeed, my friend. Godspeed.

Sorry your butt is hurt, get less poor :)

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I own a C7 - Laguna Blue, Z51, manual transmission with the alcantara interior. It isn’t as comfortable as my winter beater (2016 Audi A7) but it honestly shouldn’t be. It is by and large more comfortable than the Mustang GT Recaros. I've spent some time in those because a…

If you’re buying this kind of car for the seats or the reliability, you’re buying the wrong car. I've heard Lexus makes nice seats and that they're also generally reliable. That's my two cents.

Yeah, I agree. It isn’t “cheap”, but if I can grab a 12c or a 911 GT3 at roughly the same price, it becomes a wildly interesting proposition. Glad to hear other than the gearboxes that they’ve been not awful.

I have been legitimately considering grabbing a McLaren (mp4?) 12c within the next 12-24 months if I can land a depreciated one at a good deal. This is making me reconsider it - not because of the maintenance cost, but because I get the feeling that I would never get to drive it ever. At least I can beat the living…

For sure. But hey, it’s a Lancer, amirite?

As a Western New Yorker, I recommend: don’t do that. This is down the road from where I grew up. Parking your car facing the Lake in January is not the smartest thing in any context. Normally though, it’s not ice as much as it is feet of lake effect snow.

Are there any considerations being made to make an AWD (rear biased) CTS V or V-Sport type option on the current CTS platform or in the future?

Not bad. I’ll still just buy a C7 Corvette because pushrods.

Big, American Aston Martin Vantage.

This looks awful, but the gesture control sort of epitomizes modern BMW to me anyway so I can’t say that I’m shocked. More flash than subtance historically. Bring me back the M3 with two doors, a stick shift and a naturally aspirated motor and we’ll get to talking, BMW.

Gawker definitely needs to run a “What would happen if you sent Jezebel on a date with Jalopnik?” series.
