This car.
It’s like a reverse mullet. Mazda in the front, Lincoln in the back.
I’ve seen more Bentaygas on road in the last 2 years than I have Levantes. I completely forgot Maserati sold an SUV.
I really want one of these and I convinced my father in law to buy a G80, but the real drawback to this over other luxury cars is the dealership experience. Hyundai dealerships are simply not staffed with people with the right mentality to provide luxury service.
Took me 3 hours to go 45 miles today. It took me an hour to go the first 7 miles. People had gotten stuck in such interesting ways on 684. And by interesting, I mean across 3 lanes, forcing those who could to pick carefully around them and those who couldn’t to get stuck on the same hill.
Its all in the valvetrain. You only have one cam in the block and a short timing chain that only has to travel inches. In a DOHC V configuration car, you have 4 cams and a timing chain that spans feet.
This seemed timely.
Best factory tint, IMHO, is Mercedes-Benz blue.
Which Esperante is in the lead image? With the subtle flares and stepped lip wheels, it looks better than any one I've heretofore seen.
Shifter feel is almost entirely dependent on shifter design, not transmission torque capacity. The T56 in my GTO was good for at least 600hp, and when I filled it with Amsoil ATF and put the right shifter on it, it was as good as an S2000.
I’ve driven 2 580 whp supercharged C6s and a 580whp bolt on C7 Z06. The clutches on all three were nice and moderately weighted, enough to feel the engagement point but not much more.
Oh that's better than the R8 and GTS. Shame you couldn't get the long wheelbase cars with a third pedal. Granted, they would have only sold one. To me.
This was the best GT car ever. Comfortable, fast, could be made to handle well, and all the visibility the Camaro doesn’t have. And Holden even teased us with a Zeta Platform successor which could have been sold here as another GTO or a G8 Coupe (or a great place to resurrect the Chevelle name) , but instead we got…
Shit. I’m going to have to give these a look next time I need a car.
Cooled seats on these trims?
LOL yeah. 90 miles a day commuting, and usually at least that much on the weekends. I like to drive so I don’t mind.

Not in the 90s it wasn’t. For the 93 to 02 Camaros, Z28 just meant “you’re getting a V8". SS meant “you’re getting a V8 with an SLP intake lid, hood scoop, and leather seats”.
Camaro 2SS 1LE rolls off the tongue about as well Mustang GT Premium Performance Pack 2.
1LE is a handling package, not a trim level. In fact, in the first year of the 6th gen 1LE, it was only available in Camaros with cloth seats. Every 2017 V8 1LE is a 1SS. People are
