Multiple overhead lights -often (but not in this case) elongated. This scenario has a way of caressing reflective surfaces. Plus, the bounced light from the ground forms a sort of light sandwich with a dark horizon surrounding the “equator” of the car. A very poor man’s mimic of a type of lighting often used in…

Looks like the ayes have it. Sigh. Thanks!

I was worried that might be the case... I guess its a beat ‘em/join ‘em situation now.

Serious question, I’ve heard people are using the facebook to sell/find cars these days. I’ve had limited luck finding buyers for my e46 m3 on craigslist and cars.com. I loathe FB, and I’ve never had an account. Am I missing out on lots of car culture and potential buyers?

So... no regular-height wagon without stupid plastic cladding? Right, right. Sigh. I give up.

Speaking of FR Porsches with V8's, How much more ‘grand touring’ are 928's than 944's are ‘sports car’? I grew up in the 80's and they all sorta blended together. Now me and my wallet are curious.

Drove one of these at a BMW event at my job last year. From my humble, non auto journalist/rich person experience, this was the the best riding car I’ve ever driven. Even over rougher roads, the firmness/dampening you can achieve with a stiff, light carbon tub is unlike anything I’d felt before.

This sounds bad. This sounds very, very bad. I’m glad it exists, but I think it sounds like an expensive fartcan.

After seeing the concept, I was preparing to be sad that this wasn’t coming here. Seeing how it turned out, I’m good.

“Let’s say you have a sim of 1,000 frames,” he said, referring to a simulated cloth object. “Then it’s exactly the same thing as a face having 1,000 BlendShapes.”

I basically never drive it in auto mode, I tried it a couple times in traffic and always end up taking over. One thing thats great about them that I think a lot of folks don’t realize is just how analog they are. You get in turn the car on, and its in manual mode. Every time. You have to actively put it in auto mode…

The SMG is not as bad as the ‘enthusiast’ groupthink would have you believe. It’s the same 6 speed ‘box as the 6MT only it engages the clutch for you. What this means is that if you drive it clumsily it can be clunky, but when shifting hard on the redline, its fast as hell. Once you learn that the throttle input is…

Judging from the comments, I have the ugliest duckling e46 m3 out there: SMG, grey interior, well over 120k miles. My car has no sunroof, no harmon kardon, and manual (but heated!) seats. Before buying my car I drove a loaded 6MT and hated it. The electric seats sit too high, the shift throw was vague and the clutch…

This is following the same arc as the subaru/toyota/scion sports car thingie years back. Hyped, leaked and shown with disguise, and shown and hyped again and again. So that by the time it comes out, it already looks dated.

Is this on the same platform as the Stinger? It looks like it might be smaller.

That chrome D-pillar treatment looks god awful.

Buggin. I got nice at driving that thing. You have to predict and correct ahead of its tendency to swing wild and you can fall into a drift-happy groove. Dab of Oppo. Actually Gobs of Oppo do the trick. I love driving it.

DAMN that thing is hurt.

Not only does Obama not owe this country shit, HN’s article is somehow blind to the massive disservice he would be doing us if he did get involved. Trump and his base are so pissed that there was a black president for 8 years, their sole obsession is forcefully undoing any and every bit of his legacy in as visible and…

You guys need to stay centered. I really don’t think you appreciate the gravity of the situation.
