I guess that’s all part of the

Exactly my thought!

Also gas related, check the fuel tank. No really, I once had a very early XJ6 Jaguar, they have a petrol tank in each rear wing each with its own filler cap. I lent the car to a friend for a weekend and being a good friend he thought it would be polite to return it with full tanks. Knowing it was a thirsty brute with…

Whimsey is literally the only argument for any (factory) four door with 2 seats.

It’s a fair and legit argument, but man. That’s a lot of money on whimsey.

Look at Alfa’s back catalogue of their GTA and other hot versions. They were equally bonkers sometimes.

I have a 1997 155 V6. It is magical to drive. Never went wrong. I would get a new Giulia if they sold it in a manual in North America. They don’t, so they don’t get my money.

It is like the Project 8 with the rear seat delete option. You know, the one that set the ‘Ring record. That car is what this Alfa is gunning for.

As an Alfisti, I love that this is back. Having driven a GTA, they are magical.

What is wrong with all of your eyes? That thing is fucking gorgeous. 

It’s a lovely re-imagining, but, to be honest, there wasn’t a whole lot wrong with the original:

A shame. Once Maserati sorted the car it was quite good. But it took a few years. People forget that almost every turbocharged car of that era required a number of years to improve. Even Porsche had issues early on.

Literally EVERY single comment about IMS failures. The early model year Porsches had the DUAL-ROW bearing, which hardly fails. It’s the single-row bearings that tend to fail, and the problem as a whole is nowhere near as big as the internet will have you believe. Let the folks whine about “big dollar repairs” and…

I would buy it, totally expecting the IMS to go, and then part out the car. An IMS repair can be a solid $2500.

I’m 21 and I hate this trend with a burning passion. So, no, I don’t really think age plays into it, just drivers who give a damn.

There’ll always be a knob in a Golf…

Knobs forever! The fact that we’re replacing tactile features for something you can only control by looking at it while you click is not only annoying and unsafe, but completely unsatisfying. If I wanted to play on my tablet I would have stayed on the couch!

Mk 7.5 manual owner here. Yes on the power. Yes on the plaid. Yes on the manual. NOOOOOO on everything else! Especially touchpad screens instead of knobs and dials. GAH!

Continental, pre-2010 Hyundai, that cheap starter Mercedes from a few years back, and a few more.

Correct. The operator is mistaking something called ‘auto pilot’ for something that automatically pilots the car.
