Ok to the drivers who inevitably come over from Jalopnik just to hate on lane splitting:

I think the fact that large cities are large because millions of people live there goes against your assertion that most people don’t live in large cities...

I have a doctor friend who literally said this to me the other day. “Why the hell would you buy an M3 or a RS4 when you can get an S-class or Aston Martin for the same money?”

Unfortunately some people don’t understand that concept and will have themselves convinced the car won’t turn.

The Jumble-tastic badge system is a $9,999 option. They would have made it an even $10,000 but then you could jumble it to $00,001.

In fact, it’ll only be $13,500 more, for a total price of $61,370, giving you access to a flat-plane crankshaft V8 and carbon fiber wheels.

Is there a Part II coming? Because it’s kind of silly that they tested it on NOT the terrain it was meant for...?

There goes impressing your girlfiriend!

What’s your frame of reference? A 911 GT3 manual?! Calling the 5.0 crap to drive is a bit of a stretch there ol’ chevy die hard fan!

Is there any American alive that would own this car and be pulled out of that window in the event of an emergency?

he needs to call Tesla. jump start the Ebike movement.

As a riding instructor in Chicago, I always recommend a Ninja 250.

It’s amazing what people consider “not too much power” for a first bike. I’ve been riding for more than a decade, on bikes of all speeds and sizes from a Honda 100 Scrambler to a heavily modified GSXR1100; they aren’t cars. They aren’t “fast” cars. They’re a whole other world.

Also, this was 2009, there were WAY less Ducs on the road, so it was more of a rare site then.

I disagree. Enthusiasts like any other drivers with a budget will drive less if fuel prices are significantly higher.

People use gas to get to non-mandatory places for entertainment, too. It’s called the movie theater, or a road trip, or a hike, or a billion other places. If you’re young, poor, and gas prices drop it’s not only feasible but likely you would be willing to drive more in your entertainment time than you were when your…

I’m really glad to hear that.. we don’t need these companies to over-expand again only to have to kill them all off (or sell) a few years later.. I’m looking at you Ford (Jaguar, Land Rover, Aston Martin, Mazda, Volvo, Mercury) and GM (Pontiac, Saturn, Hummer, Saab, Oldsmobile)

Checking lane stray detection? Or some kind of autopilot system.
