Exactly that track is just fun no matter what you are driving.  I always hated blowing past cars in the final turn then they would fly past me going up the hill.  My 112 HP Miata might not have put down any lap records but it was a total blast to drive there.  

Things that make money for Mopar:

Unless those customers don’t want to pay for the better headlights and added cost to replace and repair them down the road.

So none of these cars pass state inspections? My whole point is if the lights are not safe then mandate brighter lights, but if the cheap ones pass state inspection then they are fine. Drive to the capabilities of your car if the lights are not bright enough then slow down.

There is demand for better headlights, so companies supply that demand at an appropriate price. This is just basic economics. If you want there to be a baseline requirement then do that, but bitching because companies monetize choice is silly. Volvo has charged more because their cars are safer for years is that evil…

FYI it is impossible to make anybody happy anymore.  If AM came out with a car and only used men they would be sexist.  If they market one directly to women they are pandering.  If they do market research and learn something it is blasted for not applying to every individual person.  There is no winning anymore.  Hell…

I always liked that BMW made the range extender i3 that kept the motor in just energy creation and not in drive. Cars that integrate battery and ICE power are just a terrible bastard of 2 good ideas. ICE is great for what it is and EVs are great for what they are. Combining the two does not improve either, you just…

It is like SCCA but different.  I like it better, but I know others feel differently.  The NASA driver training program is life changing good.  

Every dyno is different. Even ones produced at the same factory on the same day are different. NASA uses dynos to class cars and it is a real kick in the balls when your car makes 10% more power on their dyno than it did on one with an adjacent serial number in similar weather conditions.  

Nope you are not alone.  I hope the flat 4 drops to current egg eye prices faster than the prior generations.  I just want a fast car for not much money and am not offended by a water cooled flat 4 in a Porsche.  

But remember Porsche likes to charge more for less so that would probably end up costing $100,000 :( 

Personally I like him for all the reasons you don’t like him. He is practical by nature and talks about things that could happen. Bernie and Warren sound great, but implementing their ideas will never happen.

As a Steelers fan I hope this is Big Ben’s last contract. He is fading and a major cancer to the team. A friend asked me if I would have rather seen Ben have a career ending injury than Ryan S. and it took me exactly 0 seconds to say 1,000 times yes. I don’t wish an injury on anybody (except maybe Ray murder Lewis)…

Thanks Jackass you set the stage for this style of thing. I get the hate, but it all makes perfect sense when you remember:

“an option for carpets so you won’t annoy all your neighbors driving it down the road.”

GLWS that looks almost perfect. The rust in the rear comes from a terrible drain design, mine had the same and I pulled a bucket of compost out of each side when I got it.

Stick?  RWD? Location? Price?

I still miss my E46 wagon that thing was dam near perfect as a family vehicle.  Everything fit in it and it was comfortable on road trips then fun when you ran into a twisty road.  10 out of 10 would buy another.

User name checks out.  Times change most Fords are built in Mexico, but they are still Fords.  If you don’t think a Bentley is a unique product you are crazy, they might be built on a shared platform but there is still a ton of unique parts involved to replicate the feeling a Bentley should have.

Agree and based on my experience both nailed the heritage of the brand. I drove a 90's Bentley and rode in the current gen and there is a similar feel to the cars. Completely different vehicles, but similar feeling.
