Not just the car. If you look at the comparison the FIA made, they used factors and algorithms that would discount the performance of the car from the equation and Hamilton still came out third (I think). He was only beaten by Ayrton Senna and Micheal Schumacher, which is kind of to be expected.

3, going on 4, years old and only a 27% depreciation on a luxury SUV/van that pretty much continually gets new hardware updates every model year (not even including that the original owner got the $7,500 tax break)? Just get the new one at this point and get longer range / better performance for 27% more money with a…

Interesting, even tempting, BUT I’m going with No Dice.

If you feel you’re a golden ear, I would suggest you go check this or the RDX with the Studio 3D stereo out. I have quite a few different reference points for audio (High end Over in, In Ear headphones, Powered Monitors, 7.2 Home Theatre) and completed an Audio Engineering program over a few years where we mixed and…

What a logical take. Im sure you will get dragged for it. 

not enough Indians who could afford a $20k gigantic pile of american steel, much less than extra $10k in branded accessories you are required to wear and/or display to the rest of the world. 

There is absolutely nothing appealing about this car. Better appliance cars can be had for the same cost. This is a car you get for a few hundred when you’ve hit rock bottom. 

LOL... Bad drunken take on my part.  

I’m not going to check replies or anything because I have stuff to do, but that 3x number is a lot more complicated than that. From what I’ve gathered, its 3x living here vs there—so war/post-war immigration counts (which I’d want to leave Europe in the 40-50's too), it’s a lot easier for Europeans who often learn…

That’s a bit of a pointless statement. Without bothering to fact check the numbers, I’ll just point out that it is much easier for Europeans to move to the US than for Americans to move there, due to EU zone rules on hiring.

What did you say dad?

Interesting that in “over-regulated” Europe people are generally healthier and happier.

I lived in Taos for several years a while back, working as a potter and in local government. I have so many good and interesting things to say about it. I miss it terribly.

If Level 2 autonomy can convince this dipshit to recline the seat and take a snooze, how on Earth can we not expect that full autonomy won’t entice a million other idiots to pound beers, smoke a bowl, wank off, watch Pornhub, or post witty replies to Jalopnik?

Someone should toot their horn at him.

Holy shit, he killed his own sister and two teenagers:

Not so funny when you see that this is the same guy that killed FOUR people in another crash in 2006. This motherfucker needs to be off the streets.

The mid engine driving dynamics really make it feel like a different car entirely. I’d go as far as to say the competition for these is really the fairly underpowered first gen Boxster more than the Miata.

I feel like everything that’s good about this also applies to Miatas, except moreso. More practical, more reliable, more simple. Not that I’m here to trash the 3rd gen MR2—it’s a good, fun, inexpensive car and the mid-engined layout is definitely more special—but honestly Mazda fucking nailed it with the original…
