I love the car itself, but that has to be the ugliest interior I've ever seen on a hyperexotic. What is with the gigantic circular thing in front of the driver? I mean, it worked for Mini, but you're in a Koenigsegg!
You forgot the people who still lose out either way.
Everybody seems to be going after the owner as grounds for their CP, but you're rescuing the car from its owner. Just remove the A-pillar gauges and make some other tasteful mods, and you've got a nice go-fast quasi-sleeper for under 40k.
@tonyola: Oh well, I can still have my fantasies of the little guys threatening the big three.
One word: Asanti.
@tonyola: Apparently Chrysler was, as they took over the company that owned Hillman and killed it.
@ssrock64:
@Fast_Nel:
@ckron247: That is so ugly that even Nibbles had to spit it out after realizing what he was biting into.
@veronykah: As @AtOurGates mentioned, these cars played a key role in providing some amazing cars, however much you hate them. The Carrera GT was only originally approved because the Cayenne was supposed to pay for it. Same for the 911 GT2 RS and the Panamera.
@v8corvairpickup: It's definitely getting progressively better. I think they fired off their writing team and finally went mostly unscripted during the segment filming. The script is okay with me when it's in the studio, but the thing that makes the challenges and trips truly worth watching is the unscripted banter.
I can get how this would be jalop, but it would only be jalop at about $5,000. At $300,000 it's just plain elitist junk.
I accept no substitute for the Sledgehammer.
The question is not whether it's worth the price. The question here is if it's worth ANY price.
I beg to differ. There's still one in Wisconsin.
@gtuned: I'm now split between the two, so I'd get the best of both worlds and get a C4 ZR1 instead. Everyone wins. It's got the Jalop character of the Buick, the Jalop craziness of a new Corvette, and the Jalop price point of, well, a C4 ZR1.
@akirachan: You, sir, need a Honda S2000.
I saw the Bentley and cringed, but that Camaro's hood scoop nearly made me faint.
P.S. It's not as old as you think. It's a replica.
