Goddamn those things are ugly. That being said, I’d like to drive one sometime. Just to see what all the fuss is about.

This list is all kinds of messed up. And what the hell is a Royale doing in there?
I always pronounced it “Fee-ton”. Guess ya’ learn somethin’ new every day.
I have to agree with you here. However, as I like to look at the bright side of things, I do have to admit I’m somewhat excited to eventually be surrounded in traffic by completely silent cars and ruin their moment of silence with the deafening idle of my V8. The expressions on their faces will make my day, every day.
I’m going to cry myself to sleep every night knowing that I can’t afford one.
Beautiful car, wish I’d see them more often around here. There was a Newport on Craigslist for a damn good price and I had to actively convince myself for two days to forget the car. My commute is 60 miles a day, so I’d probably spend most of my income on gas. But man it’s so tempting to cruise around in a land yacht.
I LOVE these cars. 10/10 would daily drive one of these beasts.
‘71-’73 Mustangs. They’re finally going up in value and popularity. The high beltline and low, wide look seems to be aging fairly well. Still an acquired taste, but they’re a bit more appreciated now. Exposure in Gran Turismo and Forza hasn’t hurt, either.
Huayra*
Throttle response is better with fuel injection? Well, I can comfortably tell you that every car I’ve had with a carburetor has had significantly better throttle response than any of my EFI cars. Much MUCH better.
I went to Honduras about a year ago and rode in a brand new Ranger. Damn that thing was nice. Kind of jealous we don't get them stateside.
How does this not have a movie yet?
Never thought I'd see Die Antwoord in a movie. This ought to be great.
It has an "insane" setting? Mr. Musk, you are a genius.
Remove the Daytons, put in some old school wheels or steelies, drop a couple inches... instant sinister look. That's a beauty for sure!
This is something you won't understand till you actually drive a car with an old V8. Besides mountains of torque and that glorious sound that a 4 banger can't replicate, there's something about the way it feels that can't quite be explained in words. It's not about numbers, don't you know that?
Close call. Bet he never made the same mistake again.
Your statement is absolutely correct. I worked at a Toyota dealership for a bit and can tell you from experience that the kids who change oil and do inspections are mostly clueless. Some kid even left the oil plug out once and ruined an engine. Inspections were half-assed and had to be done (along with the oil change…
My god that thing is ugly. I volunteer to go to Lexus and redesign their cars. For free. I'm sure whatever crap comes out will look better than these monstrosities.
This. Apparently some people think that all slammed trucks have static drops, failing to realize that different airbags can be used for anything from autocross to hauling loads. Having your cake and eating it too. I love a properly airbag suspension.
