OK...which one of the dozen underlined links actually shows Mr. Musk saying he would make good?

Yeah. It wasn’t long ago when the world’s best sports cars had 200-300hp, and only some exotics had over 400hp.

Imagine traveling back to 1994 and telling the automotive community that some of the fastest cars in the 2020s will be full size trucks and “SUV-like vehicles called CROSSOVERS...”, and none of them will have a gasoline engine, and they will all weigh like 5,000lbs.

Guilty on all 6 counts. About 5 days of trial and less than 1 day of deliberation. The defendant did not act alone, and both will spend the rest of their lives in jail.

I served on a jury for a murder trial in which the defendant, victim and many accomplices were all meth addicts. It’s very possible these women were high AND panicking, which probably led to the crash and led to all sorts of stupid decisions immediately after.

Drive the car and you won’t care what it’s called.

Are they depreciating by $4-5 per mile?  I think not.

The % depreciation per year is somewhat normal for a luxury car.

To me it’s the on-stage launches for boring cars, where you have a team of live dancers trying their best to make a Chevy Cavalier exciting. Meanwhile the Cavalier is looking around like, “uhh, wtf is all this? I was promised a chill day inside on a turntable.”

Dittmann is ridiculous enough that it sounds like a character in a Seinfeld plot.

I find the lack of frunk disturbing.

I also have one. I got it mostly for durability and the cool factor. Has a nice weight to it that traditional rings don’t. Also it’s fun to make loud noises by tapping it on things.

You are describing the CX-60, which is sold outside North America. It is a shorter 2-row that shares the same RWD platform as the CX-90. Why Mazda chose to badge-engineer the CX-70 into existence is beyond me. Mazda didn’t get where they are through incompetence, so there must have been a solid business reason that we…

Jalop checklist:

Yes, I was speaking specifically about the US market.

IIRC the Mirai is only sold in California. I saw a few on the highways when I was over there last year.

Definitely not. Why?

The LC is one of those cars that looks amazing in person. Pictures can’t do it justice. It has significant road presence, an amazing naturally-aspirated V8 and is almost certainly a very comfy place to be.

Perhaps we’ve been all wrong about Predators. Maybe they are misunderstood, textile-based creatures that were scorned in favor of modern technology in some way, many generations ago. In their quest for justice they’ve evolved and adopted uniquely advanced weaponry to fight for their true place in the galaxy.

Interesting, so NHTSA buys them independently? They may be having trouble getting one, or it’s such a niche model it hasn’t been prioritized.
