With as light as modern steering electric racks are you can probably just drive with your nose.

If you don't have to have a manual, Lexus is a great option with a ton of engine choices.

I saw an X2 on my dog walk today and i was surprised how much I liked the outside. I hate everything it represents, but styling wise pretty good.

Lexus front ends grew on me, I still don't like that the LED bit on the lights is disconnected from the rest of the light. Kind of makes it looked tacked on. I'm a huge Audi fanboy when it comes to their aesthetic. It's clean (boring to some i think) and efficient design and their headlight/tailight game is always on point. Gimme an A7. BMW is hit or miss. A lot of the cars look bloat-y to me with some lines thrown in. It starts to look alright when you get to the M versions and the fenders are WIIIDE, but other cars just look like a dented can that's inflated now. The new M4 coupe concept looks A LOT like the Q60 to me. Russian Bear fucked around with this message at 15:19 on Sep 11, 2019 |

Mazdas aren't connected to the internet yet, so if you are concerned about that sort of thing, the answer is always Miata.

I feel like if they tuned the torque dip out from factory people would not complain that much about that engine. Not only do they have it, BUT THEY SHOW IT TO YOU ON A GRAPH WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING. This was a very dumb feature to include because that's a huge impact on your feelings and really that's what matters - that's why fake engine noise is so popular. I've always found it strange why it's slower than a Miata to 60.

bull3964 posted:I never really expected to hear an "it's too heavy" argument for a 2700lb car. It's not that 2700lb is heavy, it's that the Miata weighs 2300lb, with a ton of lightweight considerations all over the car (aluminum everywhere for instance). Whereas the BRZ has a bunch of stamped steel econobox parts underneath.

bull3964 posted:The 86 may only have a 33% take rate, but the BRZ has a 78% manual take rate. It really just goes to show you how the brands are shopped. However, don't forget the sales numbers. Looking at absolute figures, toyota sells about twice as many 86s as subaru sells BRZs. So as far as the number of cars that are out there in the manual, they are closer in total terms.

There's no way they would kill the manual option on either BRZ or 86, unless they had some trick DCT or fast shifting ZF unit to substitute in. R..right?

If the US somehow overhauled the licensing process it could make things safer. For instance, you can only drive a car as big as the one you took your driver's test in. You can retake the driving portion with bigger vehicles if you want a bigger one. This alone, would reduce car size I'd think or at least make people slightly better at navigating their massive land barge around.

So any of you who are praising the current Benz V8, would you own one out of warranty? I'm sure it'll go like a rocketship and they will pump in some fake noise and everyone leasing one of those will be plenty happy.

Olympic Mathlete posted:On keeping cars a while there was a story recently over here that one of our MPs drives a Bentley from the 30s and that it was destroying the planet. He drives it 1000 miles a year and the newspaper was saying it kicks out so much pollution... then a bit later they said it would take him TWENTY FIVE years of driving a fully electric car to offset the manufacture of it vs just driving the Bentley. Who keeps a car 25 loving years?? This calculation is so off because of the very low miles driven. Most EVs can "offset" themselves in 3-7 years depending on the car with "normal" driving. This is a decent breakdown I think https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RhtiPefVzM

BuckyDoneGun posted:I’ve got relatives in Italy and from their descriptions, yeah calling it a first world country is certainly a stretch. Never mind that the various regions all loving hate each other and don’t consider any of the others to even be “real” Italians. One example from my uncle, he’s spent 2 years trying to get a stable internet connection and none of the companies involved really care that much. Currently, he can’t even receive incoming international calls. Can call out just fine, the caller ID we get is the right number, it just doesn’t work when you call it back. This isn't too far off rural America, granted Italy is tiny in comparison so I don't know why they can't figure out internet.

A modern Kei cargo electric mini truck like this would own. I hate trucks and think they are dumb, but I like CYBERTRUCK thing for its weirdness and maybe that's the point?

The Supra is skewed for the street more so than the track from what I understand. Savagegeese had a good take on it. So yeah under 10/10th I bet with the shorter wheel base it's a handful. But it's not really intended for hardcore track driving (maybe later there will be hotter versions). I'd get a miami blue Cayman any day though.
