Seriously, the only thing missing from this plastic food obesity parade is a Cool Whip ad.

A++ on that one, my Man. Every time I think about good looking original ‘exotic’ cars, my mind goes to an Espirit. You never see the things around and I think they look great...times 2 on the TVR.

‘Smaller than a Ranger’...

I wonder if someday, way down the road, if people are going to say the original Teslas had character and/or were engaging?

I love all of them, but particularly those of the early 80s. Low and wide, just like a sports car should be. If you want to separate yourself from the crowd, too - I almost never see them.

...because when your speed deviates 30mph during the course of your lap, you barely only need four speeds.

Opposing team doesn’t come out for national anthem. Trump supporters don’t like when people don’t stand for national anthem. This is news?

I would buy the living crap out of this over a CUV

Yikes. Truck everything.

I wish I knew how to photoshop things because I would show you the MB design of 10 years in the future. Take the current MB grille, make it 40% larger, then put put a 2 foot diameter MB emblem on the grille with blue neon around it.

I agree. They echoed the Nuvolari era Type D grille and it works. Good for them. The rest of these things look hideous.

This is a great exercise and should be repeated for the big automotive offenders that comprise our universe of fakedom. I’d love to see 1) what car wins the ultimate prize for fake vents and 2) what car has the most functional vents. I suspect the Civic Type R would win #1 and some exotic would win #2, but it would…

It’s $120k (minus the true market value of the car) worth of marketing spend and it may well be worth it.

I feel like even when GM gets it right, they get it wrong. They the first (I think) to sell an EV car with the EV1 and the first with a ‘crossover’ with the Aztek. Even when they get it right, they somehow get it wrong. 

That’s what I figured. Thanks

Let’s hope. And hope it’s sometime before 2024

Holy shit - that’s why you were out. Yikes! so sorry, Man.

I didn’t do the research, but that’s what I figured. People seem to be able to do an LS swap into anything, so jamming the WRX engine into the BR-Z didn’t seem like an impossibility on its face. I suspect it would create a car that is faster than the WRX, creating a bit of a problem in the product lineup. Sort of like…

When I shopped for my WRX and was on the fence, I told the dealer if they put the WRX engine in the BR-Z, I would pay them what they wanted for it. I was told that engine doesn’t fit in the BR-Z, but I’m not so sure I believe that.
