When people flaunt that shit too much, I make Nazi jokes.

Correction: there have been huge improvements in the last 20 years to car handling. These improvements have been more noticeable in pony cars because their weight has increased less than the average sports coupé.

It's actually true(ish) due to changing regulations giving less freedom to manufacturers.
It can be good or bad, though.

People who claim that are retards. No other alternative.

But that's true...

Counterexample: Mercedes-Benz

This so many times. It's not funny anymore.

To be honest that's not just a misconception on modern cars.

It doesn't really do handling. Steering feel is non-existent and body roll is rather prevalent. A competitor for the ATS this is not. It's more or less an art studio on wheels, and as far as I know there are no art studios lapping the Nürburgring.

Operation costs =/= money that Lockheed Martin decides to suck up.

Glorious plate.

True that.

No, your argument is one-sided because you can find only one fault in the Viper (or in Chrysler for the matter). For the most, a fault which is frequently found in other vehicles of a similar nature.
I do have to apologize for the avatar incident nonetheless, as it was pink when I first replied to you. Kinja blows.

That quote does not appear in any of his works.
Not that it changes your point in any way.

Also, the gas mileage isn't really an issue on a car like this, but I was still surprised at how bad it was — about 24 in the city, and 28 on the highway. Now, for most 0-60 in 4 or so second cars, that'd be amazing, but for an 1100 lb three-wheeler with the absolute minimum of safety and amenities, you'd think that…

No.

Your avatar is no longer pink because your skin is so thin than you changed it as soon as someone made a joke of it.
You didn't present any "rhetoric" whatsoever. All you showcased was a (short) list of actual incongruences on no-longer-relevant vehicles produced by Chrysler, and then you took a piss on M/B and Fiat…

XTS is performance oriented? With an FF layout on that size and weight?

My (very cloaked, I admit) point is that the Escalade doesn't follow the textbook definition of "Cadillac" most people have and the brand became famous for. In fact, the Escalade was noted from bringing an entirely different customer base.

That grille is bigger than an entire Smart.
