That only makes sense if you’re buying a sports car to take it to a track and keep time.

I thought it was well established that modern autos are faster though, which is kind of the point of a sports car?

I’d say for the reasons you stated you should buy the manual. A sports cars is for fun and manuals are more fun! I’m not competing with my cars so I don’t care if I can shave 0.2 seconds off my 0-60. I want to bang through gears and nail the heal toe downshift (sometimes, if I’m lucky).

A Miata is the epitome of a modern sports car, and it’s not exactly fast.

Nope, not anymore. For 2019 we did get the T5 FWD and T6 AWD V60 but for some reason they dropped the T6 model here in the states for the 2020 model year.

Soooo, we can’t seem to get Karen to pair her phone with the infotainment system for hands free driving, but we’re gonna trust her how to learn how to set Super Cruise correctly.

That may actually be it. It was so sudden that it felt like the car shut off, the steering got heavy too, and I recall my music turning off, but it was over as soon as I let off the brake. I’ll try it again sometime and see if it’s just the throttle input that gets disabled.

No, his service is for people that don’t want to deal with all of the bullshit that comes with shopping and negotiating for a car - they want to show up, sign a piece of paper, and drive away.

Some of us can’t plug in when we get home

That could very well just be a foam block under the wrap mimicking a fake bumper to throw people off. It looks a little too lumpy to be real.

I’m not entirely convinced he doesn’t think Thomas Edison is still alive and needs protection.

Nothing fake about the fact that Trump and his Dad wouldn’t rent to black people. 

Well, no invention happens in a vacuum.

That it’s so high a number says terrifying things about our prospects as a country.

Hot take: 178 horse powers is enough for a CX-5.

The sharper Mustang is way better than the blobby one.

This post probably won’t gain any traction since it’s so late to the game, but I scrolled down to find someone elses post on this car and CANT BELIEVE I DIDN’T SEE IT. The facelift on the s550 mustang made it go from beautiful and elegant to absolutely hideous.

That’s a redesign, not a facelift. There’s no panel shared between the two. 

Not a facelift, completely new model and platform. It just looks like a facelift because VW is conservative. 

This is awful logic. The “task at hand” is driving down the road, not changing the temperature or fan speed or music selection. The OP’s point is a good one: screens are likely as distracting as cell phones.
