I'm sure they said they same about seatbelts when they became mandatory, but lane assist really isn't something that interests me. https://youtu.be/bs0-G2vIWiU

2024 Week Thirty-Five. Whatcha Got?

Its strange to see car guys bitching and moaning when existing small city cars get lifted up and made into crossovers. I get why the same happens with cars like the Eclipse and Mustang Mach E, and the Capri. Those names had history.

But c'mon, isnt a small crossover the exact sort of thing that would sell to the majority of non car people? I got to touch up a new Audi A3 AllStreet, basically a milder Q3, and it was the type of car I would love to have if I had to live in a tightly packed city.

I don't even like crossovers, I drive a fucking wagon, but I also don't get the major dislike for them. They aren't great for long distance drives with lots of people sure, but if you had a habit of doing those sorts of trips, you weren't going to buy a Tiguan anyway.

With the recent news about Jaguar selling off the CX75 from Spectre and Warner Bros. selling a one off working version of the Tumbler, what are some movie cars you would actually be willing to buy?

I really would like to own the Ford Mustang from the NFS movie, the DB5 from James Bond and the Batmobile from The Batman (the one with Robert Pattinson).

Johnny Lieberman quoted anonymous sources in his 2021 report on C8 models. The report accurately predicted the power figures of Z06 and the ZR1's powerplant. It’s prediction on the ZR1's power was however inaccurate as that car turned out to be even more bonkers than predicted. The report also accurately predicted the E-ray's name.

Beware rule 5: Discuss policy, not politics.

The size or cylinder count of an engine does not invalidate its capability. For example, the majority of 3-row crossovers are now only available with 4-cylinder engines. That does not mean these engines are automatically bad because previous generations had a V6. Modern compact vehicles are not bad because they use 3-cylinder engines.

This narrative persists every time a new product rolls out and the engine is perceived as too small for the vehicle. New, smaller-displacement engines are often more powerful, more efficient, and maintain high levels of reliability compared to larger-displacement predecessors.

This is not a one size fits all argument. Toyota is facing issues with downsizing. That is not the point of this post. In most cases, the disdain towards downsizing engines is unwarranted. The non-enthusiast population rarely notices a difference.

Gonna copy my comment from Youtube here:

"The V8 does not make the C63, it's the performance available to the driver". What a bunch of bullshit. No, people, the V8 is what makes the C63. It was never as fast or competent as the M3 or RS4/5, but it was a hooligan and extremely entertaining. That's why enthusiasts love and buy the previous gens

I know I’m going to get massively downvoted for this hot take, but here goes…

I have been a car enthusiast for well over 30 years and as much as I appreciate a variety of cars from automakers both foreign and domestic, I just don’t get the hype with Porsche. I mean, they have great engineers and assemble well-built vehicles with high levels of precision and great handling/acceleration, but virtually none of them look good to me. I can’t say I’m ever stopped in my tracks when I see one. Maybe I will do a double-take if it’s painted a bold color, but still, design wise I just don’t get the appeal.

Your turn! 😬

Push button or on the steering column just makes so much more sense. It doesn't get in the way or take up space for your phone or drink or cubby space. The vast majority of drivers just shift into reverse or drive, then into drive, then back into park at the end of their trip. They have little to no interest in a manual shift mode, I saw something that said less than 5% of drivers use it on a regular basis. I don't understand why the default is still a traditional shift lever.
