gently caress electric cars, if I'm spending north of fifty grand on a fuckin car that goes zoom I'm getting myself a mid-90s NSX

hopefully youre just getting it for nostalgia or style and not power, because it isnt that fast, especially not at that price point

Yeah if I get one it's because it's been my favourite sports car for almost my entire life.

$55k is... both incredibly steep and surprisingly not as much as I expected them to be what with the new NSX being like $200k in Canada

hell for 200k you could almost afford a 1st and 2nd gen nsx. 2nd gens are proper fast too

when someone has managed to keep pace with an nsx in their sedan it kind of ruins the mystique of it for them ;)

yeah they weren't stupid fast in a straight line or anything but from everything i've heard they were just really well set up and drove like a dream

I've never driven one but I sat in the drivers seat of one at a car once a few years ago and everything just felt incredibly well built. Nothing creaked if you pressed on it, everything sloped perfectly towards you, and it was comfortable as gently caress

Apparently they corner incredibly well though, which would make taking back roads to work a lot more fun instead of just being a way to avoid the fact that this city is allergic to fixing potholes on main roads

there are plenty of bmws out there that at the very least have a functioning loving hood release so you can top off the washer fluid without bringing it into the dealer

A BMW is not an exotic car. It's Germany's GM, they just make different horrible design decisions.

To be fair, Opel is Germany's GM. Opel buys GM parts. BMW is still a high priced luxury car in Germany. It'd be more accurate to say BMW is Germany's Cadillac.

i don't think that really counts, it's more of an out and out racer than a supercar but then that could get into a really semantic argument

Okay this is a stupid roundabout way to say that you likely don't consider Ford a supercars manufacturer, but they do make one. So it's okay to say that BMW, who you don't consider an exotic car manufacturer, makes one exotic car.

E: I never said it's a supercar :ssh:

Yeah, when I hear "super car", I think Koenigsegg CCX or Veyron or some poo poo.


But still, if you're shelling out 150 grand for a car, why would you care about not being able to open the hood?

You don't need to open it...if there's something you need the hood open for, you're almost certainly not qualified to fix it.


/edit: lol, the engine isn't even under the hood, the electric motor for the front axis is, what are we even arguing about?

you could maybe make an argument the M1 was a supercar i guess? but even that i dunno if it really counts
