It isn’t saber rattling if the current situation is all true. What true diplomats would do is keep a percentage of the current supply chains tied to foreign resources and make a big show of it, but mandate at least 40% be sourced in the US as a prudent plan B. This is in case of future virus pandemics or large…

My Dad’s 2000 BMW Z3. It’s over 20 years old now, so the interior is starting to disintegrate, the steering is sloppy, the seats slide under braking, and the car never had much power. BUT it was the car I learned to drive manual on and I have so many fond memories cruising Phoenix in “winter” with the top down.

Oh, the critics.

Thanks Ford for refreshing the platform in what is probably its last iteration of a Mustang as we know it.

No need to reinvent the wheel on the doorstep of electrification.

The best fast Ford is the 1901 “Sweepstakes” race car piloted by Ford himself:

stereo and climate controls handled by the touchscreen rather than physical buttons

I’m glad the Mustang is still with us and has not been consigned to the dustbin of history like most coupes in this SUV-dominated era, but its retro-design has been stuck in the 60s for so long it’s becoming a bit of a caricature. From the fifth generation in 2005 until now, it’s all minimal cosmetic changes, at the…

Yeah, there’s lots of love in the replies... I think it’s ok. Not bad, nothing really making it stand out either, it’s just OK.

As silly as this might sound, no physical buttons for climate control is a major no for me.

Hate the new digital dash.

I like the front end more than I thought but I’m not a huge fan of the rear honestly considering this is the only “affordable” Coupé with a V8 and stick once the Camaro and challenger seize production I give it an 8/10

I didn’t like the Huayra when it came out because the Zonda was such a different car to it. It looked like a blob because aero was so important, and it went the turbo/automatic route. I’ve grown to like it over the past decade, and I think I’ll take a similar approach with this.

And that’s exactly what Ferrari, Lambo, etc. should do. Make the manual an option on a limited run of a car and watch the money rain down.

Super fancy Mitsuoka Orochi is the best description this car can ever have.

I think the previous comenter has a point at the manual conundrum. If it was a standard production item nobody would want it. But make it a rare option and suddenly it is all the rage.

Pagani is going backwards in the styling department.

I’m really surprised that more Exotic car manufacturers aren’t looking at the huge price disparity between classic exotics with a manual and classic exotics with paddle shifters and thinking to themselves: “Hmmmm... maybe there’s a market for buyers who want to row their own gears...”

God these things are always mechanically amazing and otherwise look like super fancy Mitsuoka Orochis.
