Not to mention the implication that “purosangue” has anything to do with racism.

But I feel like as a single word, “quattroporte” is not an existing word. If purosangue really means thoroughbred, I’d imagine that is a word in common use.

That’s the point. This will no longer be the case. And I’m assuming airlines will no longer give out TSA Precheck for people who have status or airline credit cards.

That seriously explains a lot.

I have a computer engineering degree and work creating electronics. I have plenty of experience with CAD software and 3d printing. I know what they’re talking about. All Aston is describing is a photo etching process and laser cutting titanium. Anything else more complex was just made up by you.

Dude, it’s a thin piece of stainless steel. With how much B.S. is described in Aston’s literature, why wouldn’t they mention the fact that they used “AI” and “generative design” to create the emblem if they had? That’s how you know it’s not any more complex than them experimenting with emblems of various thickness…

You are trying to imply that Aston partnering with PTC to make racing components somehow has something to do with their badges. And I ask you if you think PTC had a hand in creating an acid etched badge for Aston Martin. The Aston literature clearly states the badge was created for them by “Precision Photofabrication…

I said it in another comment, but I think the laser cut titanium badge is cool. Never denied it wasn’t. But this Fitz Matush guy is trying to pull stuff out of their ass. Talking about AI creating the honeycomb design on the badge. come on. He’s just falling for the standard car catalog B.S. that’s been used for…

You think they used PTC to make their badge? You think they used AI to make their badge? Dude stop embarrassing yourself. Just because some clueless people gave you some stars on your original comment, don’t think you’re right. The method they used to make that badge is literally just photo etching a thin piece of…

The problem is you and the guy you’re replying to don’t understand this is not “high tech” at all. It’s a known process used for a LONG time to make all sorts of things. It’s a thin strip of stainless steel etched with acid. The whole point of this release is to make it seem like Aston Martin is still doing cool…

The funniest part of his whole obviously “pulled out of my ass” comment is this part:

Oh and it seems like you’re not aware, but CAD is just computer aided design. That just means a computerized drawing. That’s it. We’ve been using CAD since post-WWII for everything. It has nothing to do with how this was made. It just means there was a computer drawing of this badge. Which honestly does not need to be…

The stainless steel option is simple acid etched using a type of lithography. It’s commonly used for integrated circuits. It is just printing an acid proof layer of plastic on the metal then dissolving the metal around it. It’s very common and not new in any way.

“Cutting edge technology” this is not. They’re using standard industry manufacturing processes and describing them in unnecessary detail to make them seem special. Carmakers have a tendency to do this to give laypeople the impression that they are using some advanced new tech. Aston can’t even make their own…

Brembos are still a huge waste of money for 99% of cars sold. If we’re being honest, they’re largely there for appearance.

Those probably fit 18s. I personally think 18" is a great size for a sporty car.

That’s a very scientific observation.

Shoot, the Nissan Z with the V6 VQ had more power than the Mustang GT until they threw the Coyote in around 2011.

Kia/Hyundai crossovers generally have pretty good depreciation. Do you have experience with bad depreciation on them or are you just parroting some internet myths?
