I think DB9's are approaching the BOTTOM of their depreciation curve. 

If there was suddenly 3x as many ICE vehicles, current gas infrastructure couldn’t keep up either.

I got rear-ended in my Mazda 6 in Soul Red. The body shop had difficulties paint matching it, and kept it for an extra 2 weeks. I honestly think they messed up and had to start over. They ended up doing an excellent job though.

The racing Zondas are COOL, just not pretty. The Cinque is nice, but my favorite is the F Roadster.

Bad example. 

Overriding over a decade of muscle memory for the sites I visit is very difficult. 

These types of articles are why I came to Jalopnik in the first place. We need more deep dives into obscure and rarely covered sections of the automotive world. Channel your inner Jason Torchinsky and bring back the weird stuff!

The gators in Louisiana are more leery of humans BECAUSE they are the dinner. They’ve learned not to mess with the Cajuns, or they’ll get ate.

It’s probably already a problem in Louisiana. Supercharger next to a lake that’s home to plenty of gators.

True. I’m in the market for something that size. It’s between a Flex and a Tahoe/Suburban. I’m leaning towards the Chevy’s because of the ease of maintenance. I want something I can wrench on myself, and having had experience with transverse mounted V6's, I’d rather avoid that. They’re really not fun to work on. 

Yeah, if this was a first product, we’d excuse all these problems that Cybertrucks are having. We get it. Making cars is hard. Rivian and Lucid get passes. But it’s been over a decade, 4 models, and several facelifts of the same platforms. Having that many problems on on a product that likely uses parts-bin components

2 knocks against the Flex. One, it’s TERRIBLE on gas. Being what’s basically a refrigerator on wheels will do that. Two, the water pump runs off the timing chain instead of the serpentine belt, and that water pump is known to leak. It’s going to be an expensive service if it needs doing. But for $30k, you can find a

And it’s not even “Wagon-ish” as they suggested. It’s just a straight up wagon with a lift. Subaru never even changed the design to look more like an SUV when they dropped the “Legacy” from the Outback name. Just body cladding and a lift. 

Automotive demographics would actually be a really interesting article. As a member of the Black delegation, I absolutely see Black folks gravitate towards particular cars depending on age group and economic status. Same goes for other races as well.

Good. The gasoline powered cars just sound like lawnmowers anyway. 

Correction, it was Carlos Ghosn that killed the fun at Nissan. De Nysschen wanted the IDx put into production, and Andy Palmer (of Aston Martin) wanted the Infiniti Q50 Eau Rouge made. 

No market for a small RWD performance car? The Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ were already killing it when the IDx was teased. And I was wrong. De Nysschen wanted the the car made, it was Carlos Ghosn who killed it. 

There’s 2 for me. I don’t know if the first one even counts as a “failure” since BMW said from the outset that they had no plans to make it, but they should have absolutely put it into production.

Thank Johan De Nysschen and his OBSESSIVE cost cutting.
