I mean it's supposed to get what, 94 mpg? with a 3.8 second 0-60 time (was tested already) and mid-engined balanced handling... all in a sexy futuristic package. Also built with "eco-friendly" methods in a plant powered by water etc. etc.

GPS is usually an option on new cars but is not required. I would gladly save a grand and get a car without it. But I get what you are saying, most cars on showroom floors have it nowadays.

Do you think you wouldn't have to still put quarters in the meter?

Comparing this to Mass Effect is retarded. Mass Effect was an entire game built on the philosophy that players' individual choices molded the universe around them and changed the outcome of the games dramatically. ME1 and ME2 did this—ME3 gave you a choice of colors and one ending; some of us played for hours and…

Oh I agree that when it interacts properly with your phone and other devices it will be great. Rather than spending 1-2k on navigation, you get a system that mirrors apps from your phone screen. There are already technologies that do this that will be rolling out to cars soon (for example, Mirrorlink).

I can agree with that. I think that along with my original comment I should add that between what phones can do now and a decent Garmin or dedicated GPS unit, in-dash units seem pretty obsolete these days.

well i guess it's good to know that things are still useful for some people.

That's a fair assessment.

There is something called mirrorlink that I think will become huge for cars, it just mirrors your phone screen and whatever is on it. Fucking awesome.

I mean, I wasn't exactly thinking of motorcycles since I said in-car. I think it would be stupid to try using your phone while operating a motorcycle.

So my only question is why the hell would anybody buy an in-car navigation system now? (besides for when it's bundled in with other things you really want because yeah it sucks)

Agreed. It was really peaceful sometimes to go sit in between all the mirrors and just chill after dealing with chaotic crowds for hours. Very cool stuff.

He had an awesome little setup at Coachella this year too, with cool glowing mirrors in the desert. It was the #1 selfie destination by far:

I believe it was Richard Hammond who said that the Porsche 918 is THE hypercar "for the future" in that it has all this blisteringly amazing performance in a package that actually gets INCREDIBLE mpg, especially for its power, and manages to be civilized and drivable when you want it to be. The others use futuristic…

Hell yeah to everything you said. I know I'm going to see it, and probably will love it. Because it will probably be awesome.

Yeah I understand that when we live in a globalized society but have different ways of writing and measuring, etc. it creates problems. I think there will be a change one day, it's just going to be hard with all the old people that are still alive here.

We just write it the way we say dates. For example, we usually say that today is April 29th, not the 29th of April. Both are grammatically correct, but we tend to try to say things in the most concise way. It's really annoying that we can't just standardize with the rest of the world but there is some sense to it.

Wow. For someone who hates assholes so much, you sure do come off as an asshole.

I mean... they are completely different types of cars. It's not like I'm going to expect my new 40k city car to have to hold up to 200+ mph runs or turning at breakneck speed. You're damn right I would expect the CF in the hypercar I just blew millions on to be of better quality than BMW's electric city eco-car.
