The trope that “people get boring when they have kids” really needs to die. ALL people are boring. It’s not like all those single people are driving Ariel Atoms to work. They are buying the same boring-ass crossovers as everyone else.

Meh. I'm 6'6" and fit great in a Volt. 

One of my friends is 6'5 and 225 and he fits fine in his 3 series and his Tesla model s. I dont believe you in other words.

We’re not looking at you but the majority. When you’re in traffic and look around, every single SUV has a driver around 5 something and one driver, in a warm weather climate and nothing in the back seat.

three pedals or no pedals in a fun car.

they might but then the autotragic would sell so well that people like me who insist on manual wouldn’t be able to get one. Id rather see one and know its a real manual.

I think it is. I have a ‘17 coupe and I’ve driven the Sport hatch. the Si has a lot more stuff for the extra $2,300, including dual mode shocks, heated seats, the glorious LSD, extra 25bhp and 22 lb.ft of torque in part from the larger turbo, sunroof, better seats, stiffer springs/swaybars and firmer shocks, leather…

The Si also has that sublime 6-speed shifter, mechanical LSD and active dampers. In addition to the overall more aggressive tuning.

No limited slip diff in the Sport though :-(

My only real complaint is that the Civic Hatchback Sport 6MT goes for under $23K and is only marginally slower than the SI. Plus you can get the hatch and much better fuel economy. I suspect that the SI does have a better suspension setup for aggressive driving, but I’m not sure it would be worth stepping into the SI.

I might consider trading in my Faraday Future FF-91 on one of these. You know, once that’s not made up as well.

I’ll believe it when I see it. As of now, Fisker has no established supply chain, no manufacturing facility, and no dealer network. Just more vaporware from the KING of vaporware. It’s alot harder to build an automotive startup then just renting office space in a WeWork

The CR-Z was a true successor to the Pontiac Fiero. A car that looked like everything we wanted, but... it really just wasn’t. 

The CR-Z had the looks, but that’s where all the good stuff stopped.

I think you confuse faster with better. The biggest shame of this car is that the power delivery is not linear. Other than that it’s great. Almost everyone mods and tunes these to get +20 hp, fill in the torque dip and its fine. I just wish it didn’t need to be modded. I sold mine for a fast car and I really miss it.…

And moreover, they are sick of overpaying for them.  Few level-headed buyers will skip a WRX given all it’s performance perks over the BRZ and practicality improvements when they sit at the same damn price point.  

Probably not, no. In fact, I think you’ll start to see other manual-transmission cars (that weren’t particularly sought-after in that spec) climb in value. Stuff like a V6 6MT Accord Coupe or a Cayenne V6/GTS with a 6-speed. Or even the not-uncommon MINI Cooper S 6MT.

That promo video looks like a literal joke. Ironic they call it the “apex” when the rider appears to be allergic to them. It looks painfully slow. Just confirms how good other electric offerings are. Too bad because I think it looks cool.

Yeah, but the guy in the story is b****ing about spending only $2k to get his 911 “running right”. If his budget is that tight, it is objectively stupid of him to buy the car (sight unseen?) in the first place.

72k...is the key point there, and while I agree Porsche CPO is the best way to go some folks don’t have the budget. You can get nice Porsches for reasonable money without the CPO, you just have to do the homework.
