You’re great choosing at cars!
I’m with you. I live on the plains. Speeding is for daylight with our multiple-mile sight-lines. I do something close to the speed limit at night when I can’t see them State Boys until my headlights hit them.
The supercharged V6 Audi S4 and S5 seem to be holding their value quite well. Might be interesting to do some checking into used Camaro prices. I’ve no idea what you’ll find, but I can’t image they depreciate slower than the S5. Sometimes the long-term math really changes how good of a deal cheaper cars are. And…
Ha! Okay, I’ve never seen that level of douchery before. I can only speak for those of us that de-badge with a pure heart.
Yes, we can all agree that dealer logos a plague!
I guess so, but I wouldn’t affix one to my jacket.
If it was a 328i, all the better. Those stupid numbers throw the whole symmetry of the back end to shit. If you need to know if I have the turbo, walk up and ask me. Or count tail pipes. Badges suck.
I’m so surprised at how many people echo your sentiments. I happen to hate badges on my car, and I thought most people that like cars did too. Whenever I see a de-badged car, I think “that person cared enough to remove that clutter”. You wouldn’t wear a blazer with a logo on the lapel. You wouldn’t ADD badges to a…
People are shitting on it because it’s a bad idea. Cadillac needs to move their brand perception upwards, and this won’t. As someone who loves small luxury hatches (old A3) and hopes that Cadillac can be as good as their best products hint that they can be, I hope it’s wonderful. But my internet-commenty-senses tell…
You are asking a great question that gets very little discussion here. I read the article thinking the same thing — this sounds worse, not better. My last car was a 2.0T and my current is a N/A I-6. In real-world driving the 2.0T was the faster car (lots of torque at low rpm). But I love the sound and feel of the six…
Is that 300hp turbo 3.0L V6 the diesel? Are Chinese buyers indifferent to the diesel emissions issue?
Okay, you’re correct. Many of us comment impotently that cars we want but can’t afford won’t come to the U.S.
That’s a good trivia question. According to wikipedia, the Ariel Atom 500 holds the title. 166.7 hp/liter with a 500hp 3.0 liter. Crazy.
BMW 3-Series don’t age gracefully? Respectfully disagree. I’d have to put them quite high on the list (that I just thought to make) of cars, that for multiple generations, age gracefully.
I just learned about RTTs with this post, and I can’t figure out how they are superior to the truck campers I knew growing up. What am I missing?
Much improved! The final step would be to photoshop the some normal headlights on it, so it doesn’t look like a cat with goopy eye.
Damnit! You beat me to it. Your picture is better than the one I found though.
I’ve always wondered if the 7-series was the sports car of the luxury boat world, as it is always claimed. I recently was able to drive a low-spec A8 and was shocked at how floaty it was. Regardless of what mode it was in (the only perceptible difference was the hyper-artificial steering weight).
I’ve been searching for the last 10 minutes, and I can’t find a thing. Just a Tesla that someone wrapped in Bernie 2016 livery!
