Who is the target market for this car? Who is Lexus expecting to purchase this? It’s sharp looking and different and has a V8 but it still doesn't pull me. I'd rather have a Focus RS and an IS200t for the S/O for the money. But that's probably because I'm a millennial.

It seemed so natural that I just thought “hmm, that was clever,” and kept reading.

Thinking back on the way I would drive when I was 16-19 it's a miracle I didn't hurt or kill myself or anyone around me. Fuck 16 year old me.

But. But you're not showcasing any facts either. Don't show us something that doesn't exist. Just show us some Chinese automotive innovation and maybe people will hop off your sack.

Okay I just read through all of this. This is just silly and I want to help:

I’m gonna jump into this goofy trollish discussion because that Ranger X sheetmetal is actually pretty sweet.

I just happened to see one of these in College Station of all places. Truly beautiful SUV.

I want to know what focus group told them that their target market REALLY wanted the front wheels to serve dual purposes.

It looks like a Miura aggressively fucked a 2000GT. and I like it.

I don’t know if this is just me but I don’t really care that all this VW stuff happened as a car guy. Emissions has never been paramount in my mind and they were protecting torque outputs. I would love to pickup a 6MT TDI Sportwagen right now if I could find one.

Three *rows* of seats.

Tavarish, both your ideas and your reasoning are getting worse. I wouldn't touch someone's 60k HIGHLY modified Audi with a 10-foot pole, much less one with a high strung V8 like the 4.2. Who knows what else they fucked with.

Torch!!! Where have you been. This was my favorite jalopitorial in months. I really hope the buzzfeed writer sees this - we can't be a subtweeting community. They deserve to know what they've done.

Dat gate tho.

This is more the car that ruined all sedans for me, but the ATS 3.6 Premium. So much power from an N/A V6! Why would anyone need more power?! I've driven cars that are much faster but there was something about the whole package of the ATS. I miss you, dealer demo unit.

He has a BMW Z1?!

He has a BMW Z1?!

This one lost its ability to appreciate when it had its fourth owner, was repainted “by the previous owner,” so who knows what the fuck else happened and crossed over 100,000 miles. Wouldn’t you rather have an A8 for that money?

That ‘company’ was actually Bob Lutz and a couple partners called VL and I think all they ever produced was a proof of concept. They gave it the LS iteration from the ZR1 and it was awesome.

I believe the Ram’s model was just “1500/2500/3500” etc, not Ram Ram 1500.
