Front wheel drive.

I doubt this is cost effective yet, given the recharge time. If there were battery swaps available at the airport I would agree though.

The Chrysler 300 is totally the modern Town Car. It’s the car that the boss drives. It’s rear-wheel drive, and in addition to what Doug said, it has strong and linear acceleration (unlike ecoboosts which have a bit of delay), is buttery smooth and you can get it with a naturally aspirated V8. It also features a…

(yes I know the MC-12 is more expensive)

Maserati: half-price Ferrari for half the quality!

Don’t quote me on this, but the reason the regen-braking stops at around 3mph could be because it is too inefficient at such low speeds. I’m not an electrical engineer but I have raced a solar car and it does the same thing. Something about the regenerative braking actually pulling power below a certain threshold…

minimum wage is certainly too low for auto plant work, but so is $19.28. That’s what an intern at Ford makes after 4 years of college. $15.78 indexed to inflation with opportunities for performance-based raises seems reasonable.

FCA and others should negotiate more efficient working rules in return for higher wages. I know a non-union guy who used a step ladder instead of a stool to do something at Ford and a union worker claimed that was a “union job” because he was using the wrong kind of ladder and the union worker got paid extra for the…

Why are we all assuming the ex is a female? Buying a car is much more likely to make an ex boyfriend jealous than an ex girlfriend. If you are trying to make your ex boyfriend jealous, buy his dream car (most guys have one). I would be boiling with jealous rage if my ex owned this:

Has to be a classy, non-poser Lamborghini like the Miura though.

sick slammed golf bro

Weirdly, it looks a lot like the new Camaro in that angle.

i8 is not a sports car, not a supercar.

The 488 was revealed within months of its initial sales date. The NSX will come out after that, like 4 years after its initial reveal.

The problem it’s going to face is that it already feels old before it has even come out. The design language was very forward-thinking when the concept was unveiled, but that was like 4 years ago? I loved the convertible version in Iron Man 3, but if I was a Tony Stark wannabe with silicon valley venture capital money…

Will the NSX ever actually come out?

How do you deal with people who are going WAY too slow?

I like a looser definition of a supercar: “If it’s fast, rare, expensive, impractical and has bonkers enough styling to make my dad notice, then it’s a supercar.” (For reference, my dad will not notice the difference between a DB9 and a Fusion)

So the Countach isn’t a supercar?

Sounds a lot like Dave Brandon- jumping from one high level failure to the next, collecting mountains of cash along the way.
