I’m going to disagree with you. It is, in fact, an interesting car in the same way the Audi 100 or the Peugeot 505 is interesting. They’re these weird cars that almost nobody in the USA bought, and that makes them neat. The odd symmetrical profile styling, the cool looking futuristic wheels, all of these oddballs…

My first though, exactly.

The whole “pickup driving towards me aggressively” sound like a lame variation of “swerved to miss the deer I almost hit while drunk off my ass”.

Huge Cadillac fan here, and I really like this car. It’s just hard to justify this price for some reason. At $16k, I’m in.

I should have mentioned the LT1 B-bodies specifically. Fantastic engine for those cars, and even more responsive to modification than the 3800. I’m not saying the 3800 SC wasn’t a good engine-it certainly was. I’d just rather have it in a Riviera or a Park Ave Ultra than the Grand Prix.

I had a 2006 Matrix and a 2007 Corolla, both with 20k miles and under 2 years old, towed on the same truck. The Matrix with a failed TCU. The Corolla with a failed ECU.

Thanks, I guess.

The Gran Prix was a mound of dog turds. If you’re going to identify GM products of merit from this era, start with the Impala SS/Buick Roadmaster/Chevy Caprice/Olds Vista Cruiser B-bodies, throw in the Cadillac Fleet wood Brougham, and add a pinch of F-body Firebird/Camaro.

My Buick Roadmaster is big and fast and pushing over 300hp, yet is nothing like a GTR. Neither is an Accord.

It’s a V6 Camry made by Honda.

Baby GTR? In what’s way is an accord anything like a GTR?

This M5 reveal is far more believable than the #toomanysecrets M8 nonsense.

I dunno, maybe it should look like a $95,000 car.

BMW “styling”. Yawn. I miss Chris Bangle.

I’m not surprised by it’s existence. I’m surprised at how lame it is. They didn’t even roll the car out of the tent in the proper deliberate fashion. Sad!

Here you are again, trolling this RWD or bust nonsense again. 54% of all cars sold are FWD. 96% of compact cars sold are FWD. 92% of midsize cars sold are FWD. Only 12% of all vehicles sold, including SUVS and pickups, are RWD. You see, the market doesn’t care what you think, and the majority of people buy FWD or AWD…

As tacky as the rest of the car. I’m definitely passing on this one entirely, as I am too old to drive a car that looks like this.

I’m betting it’s compensation for ambient atmospheric pressure. Pretty common on turbo cars, especially when you take into account that the test took place in the Mojave in May. A crash course on absolute pressure vs. gauge pressure can be found here:

Two questions:

Right. In reality, BMW could drive around more subtly in a production version of the car, and everyone would believe it was some 5-series variant they forgot about because BMWs all look the same and overlap.
