1971 Buick Riviera?  An example is up for auction on BaT:

Also the new CLE (and Mercedes coupes in general) looks goo to me.

I always thought the 2021 Mazda 6 was a pretty car

Definitely the 23 Prius. I don’t know how Toyota suddenly decided to turn their ugly duckling into one of the best looking cars on the road, but I’m glad they did.

The writing was never great. The show was almost great in spite of the bad writing, and in spite of the very confusing (for those unfamiliar with the lore) first season time-jumps. That a show could be promising despite major flaws in plot direction and writing demonstrates that there was definitely some magic there,

Assuming everything was translated correctly, the man being quoted isn’t a writer, but a producer who’s trying to defend his decisions on the show. Sure, the writers, by definition, write the script, but they’re usually working within the constraints set by their superiors - the showrunners and producers who decide

Now playing

Oh, no, it’s WAY worse than that. Just listen to him:

This is refreshing in a world where a compact M2 weighs nearly two tons.  

In the scheme of things, it’s not that limited. For example, North America only got just over 500 991.2 GT3 Touring models, so let’s say about 1,200 globally if the ratio is similar to other Porsches. The 991.2 Speedster was limited to 1948, and it turned out not to be as crazy popular as Porsche thought, at least in

I was thinking that myself, my 997.2 is just under that weight and significantly smaller. This thing must be a rocket with 150HP more but weighing the same! Who needs a turbo at this point? 

Seriously. If they de-“I’m so very masculine and tough so don’t tread on me these they would probably get a hell of a lot more efficiency than 4%.

This is a pretty amazing weight for such a large car- it’s only 100 pounds heavier than my much smaller 981 GT4. It’s still a large car (I thought the 997 was the appropriate size 911) but Porsche did a great job cutting weight. As someone else mentioned, let’s see if people actually drive one though or just store it

Thankfully, the numbers aren’t standard. And I’m pretty sure you could convince them to leave off the Porsche lettering if you don’t want it. You know, considering you’re paying nearly $300,000 at a minimum for a gat-dang 911 and all that.

Maybe, and hear me out here, they could lower the height of the hood? And the overall truck? It doesn't have to be 4 feet off the ground. Also makes loading heavy things that trucks were originally designed for difficult 

Automakers purposely pushed people towards trucks and SUVs over cars because they’re more profitable and have lax fuel efficiency standards (in comparison).  Increase the standards/penalties on trucks and move on with life.  Proposing increased taxes on the average Joe is a fairly dickish kneejerk reaction.

good.  its about time they closed the super duty loophole and make them be considered in cafe averages. and double the gas guzzler tax.  bring an ev efficiency tax along too.  anything getting less than 2.5m/kwh gets hit with it. 

Higher fuel taxes...to a point.

The car I actually want is just over $50k, so I’m going to Be Different and go with this bucket of monkeys right here:

I’d pick up another SS 1LE before they go away

A fully loaded Mazda 3 Hatchback with a manual transmission with money left over for PPF, extended warranties, and whatever. It’s one of the few desirable, attainable cars on sale that still feels “normal” and could conceivably last me 10 years or 200,000 miles.
