I’m sure you won’t. The exhaust goes Brapapapapapap...just got rid of my C43 and I kinda miss the brapapappaappapap from the exhaust. 

It’s likely they would have given it AWD. How sick would it have been to have an AWD, manual, V8 ferrari powered sedan?!!! But all is not lost, we kinda have that in the Giulia QV. 

Alfa Romeo 159 GTA. It was rumored to have a ferrari/ ferrari derived V8. It was supposed to be revealed around 2009...it exists only in a handful of spy photos. 

Not many new sporty cars in my price range that come with a manual and AWD.

These engine problems are the reason I’m thinking of leasing an STI. I know they lease like trash but I miss driving stick.

What about a B6 grand coupe? 

They serve two different purposes. The M3 is for the person who cares about handling, lap times, noise, crackles, pops, and drifty burnouts. Alpina is the quintessential highway/ autobahn cruiser. 

If the M3 has that massive kidney grille that everyone is fretting, I’d gladly do a B3 conversion. Body kit, spoiler, exhaust, rims, grille, body colored mirrors. The only thing I would not do is festoon the exterior with Alpina badges If anything I’d de Badge it.

Oh please. You’re acting like the seats in coach are like lay-z-boys and the person who reclines the seat practically has their seat in your lap. 6 inches of recline is not that much. I’m far from paralyzed but I am not sitting up right for 14+ hours to “save face”. If you don’t want to recline your seat, more power…

@Me when you have 11 fused vertebrae. 

YES! People exaggerate how much seats on planes actually recline. On most domestic flights, they recline about 3-4 inches...international 5-6 inches. “Oh I don’t want you on my lap for 5 hours blah blah” seats recline for a reason. If anything, people should get pissy with the airlines for cramming more and more seats…

The E60 didn’t get the credit it deserves. It has aged well over the years. 

Depends on the airline. Some premium economy classes are simply economy class seats with an extra two-three inches. Others give you better seats. I recently flew Philippine Airlines JFK-MNL. Those seats were similar to the seats you’d find on domestic first class.

Yup. There are an elite group of travelers that believe reclining your seat is impolite, selfish, and bad etiquette. There have even been flights on planes over reclining seats. I should also mention, you can buy devices on amazon that prevent the seat in front from reclining into you.

While I don’t necessarily need business class, I’d have to fly in at least premium economy. 

Can’t wait for the “Don’t recline your seat” crowd to chime in about not reclining on a 21 hour flight. 

3 hours. Only happened once and here’s the story. My commute was usually 27-22 ish minutes depending on traffic and how fast I drove in the absence of traffic. It was November. The news predicted a light dusting to a coating of snow. An hour into this “dusting” I notice a good 4 ish inches of snow on the cars outside…

What about the 550 barchetta? Wasn’t that a front engined topless v12 Ferrari?

Canada gets the c43 wagon and will also get the A35 and a45 AMG hatchbacks. 

But you can buy a new AMG C43 in Canada.
