Having driven the new Camaro, it does commit one cardinal sin that I cannot forgive. If you are tall, it is like sitting in a pillbox with 0 visibility.

“(let’s be honest among friends) probably wasn’t built with the precision of an Aston Martin”

Not directly, but I am a design engineer in an industry that offers warranties on products. We design everything to last warranty duration...

Regardless, class warfare doesn’t win elections in America. It doesn’t even sell newspapers anymore. It’s silly and naive to think that Sanders has a serious chance at being elected President.

My first thought too. Plus the sticker on the back. Let’s face it, there are very very few people who’d add a roll bar and a sticker to an original 356.

Lost me at the stupid stickers on the Speedster.

Right? All it takes is a new fixture and some plants to really open things up.

Leather wrapped Valentine 1? Classy....

So why over-complicate things?

So these doors are neat I guess but like many people have said I think they are an answer to a question that hasn’t been asked. Sure they may not be any worse than a conventional door but I’ve yet to be sold on the idea that they are better either. With the inherent addition of complexity with the hinges, actuators,…

I don’t understand why they would make it impossible to carry things on the roof of a SUV. But then again, I’m just a silly scandinavian.

I still don’t see how this was ever a good idea.

Hey, at least (this time) it’s not the Germans themselves deciding that they must make their cars 10 times more complicated than they need to be for no adequately explored reason. (Hi BMW and Mercedes).

That was close.

It really boggles my mind that it doesn’t. It’s an “Italian Lotus Exige” that doesn’t even have power steering. It’s designed to be a driver’s car above else, so why no manual? I’m sure someone will grumble about engineering costs or take rates, but c’mon, this car is designed to be as engaging as possible. It’s like…

I’ll say the same thing I told the salesman at the dealership (and that I’ve said on here a couple of times): if the 4C had a manual transmission, it would be in my garage right now.

Ooo an autonomous control system that can park a car that’s only available on a test mule and not actually on any production vehicles and won’t be for several more years, whoop dee ‘effing doo!

You’re right, but there is one obvious exception:

Anybody with two brain cells to rub together knows that the Rotary is a lost cause for gasoline (at the very least). If you could get one to run on diesel to improve the energy density of its fuel, you might have something.
In the land of climate change, efficiency is key. Turbo-diesel Rotary that gets 25 mpg? NOW you…

So two more convertible Miatas? Don’t care. Show me a hardtop. Show me a Mazdaspeed. Show me one with a V6. Show me something that’s significantly different than a regular Miata.
