Re: Let's talk about cars

I've seen large regional variations in driving in the US. New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts: no patience, extreme aggression, flexible understanding of traffic laws but at least they keep moving...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Absolutely. Still, it's worth talking about in a "18 year old Top Gear fan talking about how they'd 'have' the La Ferrari" ridiculous kind of way.

Re: Let's talk about cars

So yeah, anyone else notice the Tesla Roadster announcement last night? Theater and hype, but the car is legitimately interesting.

Re: Let's talk about cars

This is not an uncommon sentiment.

Also, the F40 is the definitive 80s Ferrari.

Re: Let's talk about cars

Yeah back in the nineties you could buy a 246 GTS for next to nothing, maybe $25K all day long. Many tifosi back then didn't even consider them to be "real Ferraris".

I just checked, a mint 246...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Not quite as dramatically eighties, but the (terrible) 348 also had the side strafing.

Re: Let's talk about cars

Yuck, the 308 GT4 is awful.
On the other hand, in my opinion the Dino 206/246 might be the best looking Ferrari ever.

Re: Let's talk about cars

I would stay away from Volvos with this criteria. Looking at your list of preferences I would go for something Japanese. Many people have the same needs as you and there's a reason that Toyota...

Re: Let's talk about cars

The problem here is that you're confusing "cool" with "practical". This is a mistake when it comes to French cars.

Personally, I like the SM because it was elegant and ridiculous in equal...

Nice one. Harry from Evo did a great video on his own late model run car. Also, for some reason I've always preferred the 037 to the Stratos...

I love that car, pure West German Kraftwerk cool....

Re: Let's talk about cars

One thing, Evans' list of "top ten coolest cars ever" on the TG website is the most boring, anodyne and obvious list of "greatest cars ever" possible. Anyone who knows anything about cars could name...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Things I hope for (perhaps pointlessly) from the Netflix relaunch:
1. Stop the endless, repetitive jokes about their respective "show character" quirks. "Oh dear, Clarkson's bashing fragile stuff...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Maybe in 2016? It's already sold out in the UK at 500.
My point it that it's a Mondeo-sized car that can really only seat two, unlike the 3 sereis or A4s in the same price range. That limits the...

What other Ford offerings compete with the Mustang?

Re: Let's talk about cars

I disagree. It's a definitely American car that's fairly large and heavy by UK standards, has a useless rear seat and is priced to compete with a base 3 series. I think the Mustang is niche in the...

Re: Let's talk about cars

This is hardly surprising, people just don't realize how fast Teslas actually are. In particular that's a Tesla 85D, a special version which has two engines and roughly the same horsepower as the...

Re: Let's talk about cars

I agree. I'll withhold judgment until we see how this performs.

One other car Ford announced, the new Raptor:

Re: Let's talk about cars

New GT looks great. I have to say though... V6? Still, if it's light and drives well it should be epic.

Speaking of cars I could more hypothetically afford, Ford also announced the Mustang...

Re: Let's talk about cars

The big three have been offering some very niche high powered cars over the last several years but it's truly gone a bit bonkers in 2014.

It started about 5 years ago with the Corvette Z06 which...

Both very good points. I'll add that diesel isn't sold at every gas station, sometimes you have to search around a bit.

Re: Let's talk about cars

Anyone considering buying a Mustang should hold off. The '15 is going to be miles better than the '14:
- independent rear suspension. For God's sake, finally.
- smaller car, better looks. Much...
