... or AC.

But you’ve left off the 7 Series’ main defense mechanism: its utterly silly grille. I keep imagining hijackers laughing too hard at the Snout Car to actually attack.

Agreed. Slow car fast and all is only fun when you can row your own. Doing 0-60 in 10 seconds in a 3 speed slush box isn’t very appealing. 

Nah. This is bottom of the barrel configuration of this car.

Soooooo close to being a NP, but no. It’s a super example of a car most of us have forgotten, but I just don’t think it’d be a fun car to own and drive without a stick shift.

I’m not sure this is the logo to complain about reductivism. It looks great before and after. Even if you don’t like this one, there are way worse ones out there and I don’t think anyone can honestly say this is even on the bad half of them.

Ugh. Well, Lambo’s now off my shopping list...

Come on, it’s not that hard to learn to drive stick.

1) Viper: 175 inches long vs. New F-150: 232 inches long

I feel like a Viper might be the diametric opposite of the criteria listed. We have a rusty driver who wants something:

Yeap. The new logo looks modern, but that isn’t a good thing.

A Viper with a salvage title. What could go wrong?

Wants: not too challenging

“Reliable” and then, I have had to replace an engine mount and water pump on a sub 100k miles car. Yeaaaaah, about that. 

I would love a Mini, but they just don’t work for a lot of people.

There’s good reason they are cheaper. They are less useful, a bit silly, and less reliable (lots of BMW club friends with them). Not that I don’t theoretically like MINIs, but I have never wanted one enough to actually buy one, whereas I did buy a ‘17 GTI Sport new.

Absolutely correct.

bugatti doesnt have the record. that was a bullshit pr stunt and it seems to have worked. they only went with the wind in one direction and that car wasnt in any way production, not even the 300 versions of the chiron are the same as that car. iirc it was also downhill. the venom also isnt a production car. after his…
