Looks like e-tronic flappy paddle or whatever Audi is calling it these days. Not a true gated manual.

Can you picture the field day Jezebel would have?

Phew [wipes sweat from brow]. Not the gated shifter, that would've been a shame to lose

More like 84-month loan

Protect the king at all costs.

Booms in the US are almost always marked by periods of extreme irrational exuberance... which leads to future recessions.

Looks like he took it down. Honestly, it is kind of boring. It looks just like the old one with Audi's new straight angle design.

billionaire chariots? the R8 currently is one of the cheapest mid engine sports cars you can buy. You sound like a pissed off teenage who hates anyone who makes more than minimum wage

It's still awesome, seeing as it can hit almost 270 mph, while coddling you in hand-stiched luxury. They also likely will literally never break because every single component of the car was over-engineeered to an insane degree.

My guess is it'll be the first application of that camless engine design they were pitching a while back. I wouldn't be surprised if it's an evolution of that already crazy twin turbo V8, now putting down some stupid crazy amount of power and using the weight savings to offset a KERS-like regenerative braking system…

Right? How is an HHR 'changed by the game'? There was only one generation and it didn't change throughout it's life.

The feel of the car went from "That's a Mercedes!" to "WTF is this? A normal car?!"

Well to be fair one of the motivators for creating the Prius was so Toyota could sell more trucks. It didn't become the gamechanger it is today until its second generation.
