Yup, I’d buy a Golf R wagon tomorrow if I could. Hell, put the R drivetrain in a Tiguan and I’d buy one. It’d be the only affordable fast/fun SUV on the market. And no, I don’t consider the base 2.0L Macan affordable because it comes with shit options.

Looks soooo much better than the current Fiesta/Focus screen that is way too high on the dash and sits above a horrible looking SONY branded black plastic interface. That’s the #1 reason I wouldn’t even go look at a Focus RS and if the next one gets this dash, I’d reconsider.

I mean, to be clear, I was 25 or 26 and she was 20. It just seems weird when you push that difference back to childhood. My parents are 10 years apart, but met when they were 30/40.

I was a high school junior on 9/11, so I spent the whole remainder of the day watching the news on TV because nobody gave a shit about school anymore. Many years later, I was ‘getting to know’ a girl who was a bit younger than me and 9/11 randomly came up. When she said she was in elementary school and didn’t really…

My neighbor recently bought a gray one and had to go pretty far away to find it. He said dealers only get one or two and they are selling fast. I’m not sure what he paid, but I know it was over sticker.

Any thoughts that they are ragging out this last design with a million special editions before they finally kill it, a la the Viper? I’d imagine not since I see V6 and 392 Challengers everywhere, so they must be making some money off the thing.

Honestly, I think they sound and look great and the interior is pretty…

Ya know what I did when I got out of college? I bought a goddamn XJ, already lifted on 32s. It was my 2nd vehicle for a while, but then I was like “I don’t need this 400hp supercharged convertible Mustang that I spent years building, I have a lifted Jeep and it can do anything!” So I sold the Mustang that I loved for…

Wow, that was annoying as hell.

Is COTA paying some of your ticket price to F1 in order to artificially lower prices and gain attendance? Or were your seats terrible? I think we paid over $300 each for the weekend at the 2015 Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka. The Porsche races were fairly lame, we got no Lambos, and maybe 5 old formula one cars doing…

Generally I would agree with you 100%. Then I thought of the Prius, which is basically the same thing, but sold like absolute hotcakes.

I think if you had a few celebs driving Bolts and touting how they were saving the world, people would drink the kool-aid and start buying them. Get Bono in one ASAP.

I mean, they already have 3 Super Bowl wins, so you can’t quite say they never win anything...

Maybe they get into them using the ‘hidden’ frunk release that all you news outlets blasted all over the front pages a few months back?

You lost me at ‘comically slow’. It should be illegal to sell a vehicle with 150 hp these days.

Yes, and this car has been around for a loooong time. Saw it in person in Myrtle Beach back when I was in college, and I graduated in 2007. Saw it some time before that in Ocean City, MD as well.

LOL I literally said that in my first post. My used E90 335i was a lease return when I bought it. Why is that a bad thing? It’s usually very well maintained with very low miles. Mine had 23k after 3 years.

Hemi Grand Cherokee is $42k and gets to 60 in 6.6 seconds. I get your point, but that’s still slow for the ultimate driving machine sports sedan.

That’s pretty slow for a ‘sports sedan’. Lots of SUVs are faster than that now.

If I’m spending $30k on a BMW, it’s going to be on a nice used lease return 335i with like 20k miles. Not a stripper 320i with no options and no horsepower. I’m only 31, but I’ve learned to really appreciate modern amenities on my long commute.

I had an E90 335i for a while, my mom still has a 2008 335i that she’s owned since new, my friend has gone through numerous leased E90s and F30s and currently has a 340i that he loves. All of them have been pretty damn reliable, nothing worse than any other car I’ve seen. Nothing even close to what these media cars…

I drive around 22-23k miles a year, so leasing isn’t an option.
