The CX-30 Turbo is perfectly enjoyable, having owned one for almost a year, and that meme is great

This isn't happening just because people "like" it. yeah it's all about crash safety when it comes to the belt line of cars now. it used to be down at like mid torso and now you're lucky if it's at your shoulder. although this is all because both people and car manufacturers are dumb and just want big SUVs

I was looking at Alfa Romeos a while back and couldn't help but laugh at where the window line in this thing was relative to the headrest.

Almost none of either of these two will ever be driven fast and as they are both lovely SUV's so I can pretty much predict with confidence they will be understeering grip pigs with about as much driver involvement as watching a RC car. Altho given the Mazda is a I6 turbo RWD and waaaaay cheaper, there's potential there for a interesting sleeper if the aftermarket gets hold of it. The Ferrari OTOH will just continue to be a footballer WAGs shopping trolley / private school kid runner and remain on the level of contempt it deserves

Years ago I told my friend that Ferrari would eventually make an SUV. Mark my words, MARK THEM. He told me to bite my tongue and take it back, it would never happen What a bittersweet day Data Graham fucked around with this message at 11:47 on Mar 13, 2023 |

Ferrari doesn't need to make an SUV in order to continue making their other cars. Saudi princes will always buy up every car they make at whatever price they ask. Also, hot take: it would be no great loss to automobile culture if Ferrari of 2023 quit making cars. They just aren't that special anymore

Here's my Ferrari hot take: Ferraris fucken own. You can hate the brand, hate the marketing, hate the saudi princes and dickhead lifestyle that is associated with them, you can hate the majority of the people that own them. I agree with all that. But cars themselves are freaking sweet.

the venn diagram of f car owner and lifted brotruck owner have significant overlap in the bigoted self righteous hoped-for-a-big-cock-but-became-one-instead region. Way over hyped poo poo because of flatlanders.

A more apt name a subforum couldn't have Footballer WAG SUVs no matter what badge they are Terrible Car Stuff OP. Sorry not sorry you cant/wont/don't wrap your mind around that simple concept. The last Ferrari I drove was a 430 Challenge and apart from a glorious engine it was a turd with 1970s Lancia Beta parts and about the same build quality - Just what I want in a car that costs the same as a house. Have they changed? Don't care. I prefer Foresters that can maul them on a track because that's actual insanity, not some Saudi prince car jewellery

How is this such a difficult concept for you people to grasp I did read your posts. That's why I asked. So to put a fine point on it I think that: 1.) You are the hired help taking care of some rich dudes' cars 2.) It is overwhelmingly unlikely you will ever be able to afford one of these cars In light of those things I'm trying to understand exactly what is motivating you to post what you are posting. Because it's the kind of thing someone who has spent a bunch of money on a thing is trying to convince other people that that thing is the best because it's the thing they chose and are stuck with so it must be the best. And essentially stomping your feet like a child with this kind of hyperbole: fridge corn posted:Love to post in a subforum called automotive insanity where everyone hates ferraris. because......a bunch of people didn't immediately defend the Mazdararri CUX-30?

slidebite posted:Cool cars are cool. Uncool cars are not cool. For comparison's sake, if i swapped a 500HP NA V12 Ferrari engine into a CX-30, would that be awesome or not? I'm still thinking not, because LOOK AT IT, but it does have more redeeming features than the Mazda. Those being 500HP and V12, not necessarily Ferrari.

Motronic posted:I did read your posts. That's why I asked. So to put a fine point on it I think that: I'm a mechanic. It's a job. I can fix mazdas or I can fix ferraris it doesn't really matter. Ferraris are a lot more interesting. A long time ago I would have thought a lot like you but actually spending a lot of time working on, driving, and crawling all around inside and out of supercars I've gained a much greater appreciation of them. I literally haven't said a word about the Purosangue until now. The only ppl stomping their feet like children are the ones falling over themselves saying how stupid it looks. I don't care what it looks like. I care that its got a 700hp v12, is still using the stupid ptu front drive gearbox hanging off the front of the engine that first came out on the FF, and apparently some trick new suspension that does away with anti-roll bars. It's bonkers and dumb as gently caress. And that's cool imo. But by trying to score points about it looking like a much cheaper car, are you laughing at the car or the ppl who have bought one? Cuz the former is lame. I'm fine with the latter I also don't care that I'll never be able to afford one. Ferrari ownership is not something I aspire to
