Auto journalism might as well be dead. 

The only thing RARE on Jalopnik anymore is a good article.

Oh look, Jalopink poking fun at the Corvette again.   Shocking. 

Fine, so you don’t like it. Not writing anything at all would have been a completely valid option.

Yikes, do y’all have 2 Shillings on staff now?

What’s truly rare, is an article worth reading here anymore. I mean, jesus fucking christ this is just sloppy, but you got my click, so congrats. Pictures of the features would have been at least a shitty consolation prize.

What in the actual fuck is happening in this article?  Are you guys at Jalopnik ok?

I’ve read some garbage here, but this is about the garbagiest garbage ever.

thats what alot of brands dont get. they price their cars right out of the market because theyre so obsessed with the cars ‘ring time’ when its being purchased by people that will never get close to a racetrack.  they just want a car that looks cool and sounds cool and isnt $100k

The design is rather iconic, if nobody has noticed.  And seems to be aging just fine. 

2019 is still basically new and any car with issues under 50k miles is unacceptable. I got a new car the same year, cheaper than any Tesla, and it’s actually had zero problems, not with door handles, electronics nor paint.

For a collector or admirer of what are now classic Ferrari’s a Civic Type R no matter how much faster or safer is completely irrelevant and is a car that would never live up to the aesthetic or admiration of the older car.  In this arena performance compared to a new car is way down the list if considered at all.

This is the correct take. The only Ferrari I’ve ever driven was a Mondial T Cabriolet. My moderately modded WRX was faster, but the Mondial was still really cool to drive. Although the tiny pedal box was a real pain.

Maybe there’s something wrong with me, but I prefer this to the vast majority of modern Ferraris. This thing is gorgeous. But, maybe being born in ‘82 influences that a bit.

These were all my thoughts as well, plus with the way this market is, if nothing goes wrong, you could enjoy it for a year and easily get your money back and then some if you sold it.

If I had garage space I would definitely look deeper into this car. I’m sure that some Ferrari shop could look into the car for you or call known Ferrari mechanics out west and give you the skinny on its history. It either got those high miles due to sheer luck on someone’s part, or it was lovingly cared for and…

A mini-Testarossa for $55,500!!!! The 80's kid in me is looking under the seat cushions and gazing outside at the money tree hoping I can scrap enough together to get this dream car.

That’s not my expectation at all, and buying a car is generally no more of a hassle or inconvenient for me than any other fairly large purchase.

Well that’s not fair. Pick any color and the Miura is the best.

Also the best orange car.
