I honestly just don't know a whole lot of cars that have departed post 2017 MY. The only two that really come to mind are the Viper and SS..lol but you could guarantee that Vanquish would be on my list. That thing is beautiful!

I didn't worry too much about colors as all of my choices I like in pretty much all of their color options. I think the only ones that stand out to me that I wouldn't want would be a yellow C5Z or the anniversary WS6 in that yellow either. I'd take any color for the Cobra, 335i, or Golf R.

It really is perfect for most any commuter. It was just expensive for its size when it came out(and still is for Gen2). Buuuuut the used market, with a ton of 10-15k ones available with very reasonable number of miles on them, makes them super appealing.

Does the engine ever need to change revs then? Or does it just stay at a constant rpm when it is running? Oooorrrrr does it change revs when under high stress to charge faster to keep up with depletion rates(such as climbing a mountain)?

The Volt is a fantastic idea. I probably would have bought one instead of my Focus if I had somewhere to charge it.

That speaker/grille/location is AWESOME!

I don't mind them. They so look a little awkward but they don't look any more awkward than the two stalks already sticking out for the blinkers and wipers. Plus, if they didn't then people would likely complain about cluttered buttons being elsewhere or having to use the infotainment screen to figure out how to change those settings. I don't think the look is perfect but I think having them located there is pretty nice.

I actually don't think it looks that bad. It looks more like a lifted hatchback and less like a bubble. Not by a whole lot, but by a little. It's difficult to see w/o zooming in more but it looks like they're or traction settings and drive modes.

That's what I gathered as well. Thanks ya!

This reminded me.. i was watching a couple of (the hated) Doug Demuro videos the other day while putting in some cardio at the gym and it was a new NSX and I think(not sure bout this second vehicle) a Bentley Continental SuperSports that had the slider bullsht for the volume adjustment. Buttons on other things but for volume you have to slide your finger.. hell no. That kind of "button" works much better in just a simple "touch" format like the Caddy's. I am glad Caddy is moving away from them. i didn't find them all that difficult to use myself but between other people have issues and still preferring an actual button.. Smart more. This is the NSX volume adjustment I was talking about. It's difficult to see here but it's on the left side of the scree and you can see the little +/- over there. That's gotta be tough to work, especially in a sportier car where the ride is stiffer and you feel more bumps.

There's no way that's a GLB. I assume "B" means it's small and look how wide that center console area is. That's gotta be GLEish sized with how wide it is. then again, what is comparable size-wise to a "GLB"? After looking it up, it's supposed to be like a baby G Wagen..? Is there anything Mercedes HASN'T DONE FIRST(in his eyes)?

Sorry things get shuffled to the bottom over the weekend for me(when I'm not on here). I'll give'r a run!

It took how long to get chargers as widespread as they are now, how long until these super duper fast chargers are widespread enough to make a difference? Another 5-10 years? So the vehicle would be less efficient needing more charge time.. Going 55mph should have yielded them pretty close to ideal highway range. I'd up that to 95% of people with a 2-300 mile range. Very. VERY, few people actually need more than that daily Or are towing that much for their personal selves.

I think this is my list.. 2003-04 Cobra WS6 Trans AM E90 335i MK6 Golf R Wildcard is a C5Z to replace the WS6..

My own money.. What do 90's muscle cars cost?!?

Funny Story, The two Santa Fe Sports that Motor Trend tested were the base model and FWD(184hp) and the fully loaded one (240hp/260tq) and AWD and the 184hp one edged it in acceleration. I'd probably safe to assume the additional 500lbs and larger wheels did it in bu it's crazy how much weight can negatively effect the performance of a vehicle.

Nahhh that's more like a n/a ratio of hp:tq. I'd bet it's like most of its competition's 2.0T's in that it'll have 232+tq FWIW, the current 2.0T in the Santa Fe Sport puts out 240hp and 260tq. I know that doesn't mean it will be that same engine or output but I don't think it would be a weak sauce engine as the middle engine in the lineup.

People will drive Demons on the street too but we know the full intent of the vehicle. I mean I understand what you're saying, they WILL get street time along with track time, but a car built like this has less concerns about how well it drives on the street than a race track.

I'd consider 1240sqft on the wee side of things. It's not actually small but its definitely on the small side, imo.

That's because it is a small dollar stock. You have to buy a decent quantity to get a good amount. But the same can be said for other higher yield stocks. If one buys $500 in Ford vs $500 in Pepsi, Ford pays a higher dividend(all assuming the price stays the same, etc. etc.).

Yeah, they put lights and corner markers because they had to, just like the GT. You know damn well this car was designed for track use. I'm not sure why there's a dispute.

Yeah, I would wage good money most people buying this car will be trailering it to and from the track. Just because it will be driven on public roads doesn't mean it was designed for public roads. Yeah, I brought up pushrods as they're the only thing comparable to the low end tq that dfelt was referring to. I didn't bring up 70's Pontiacs as they're irrelevant to the discussion. YUP. You better be buying The General so you can have your low end tq for the race tracks!

That is AWESOME. We need to capitalize on this technology, asap.

So much America in that post. Pontiac 455 V8 1/4 mile

When you're on a race track, because the topic of the 488 Pista is a track car, how often are you starting from 0mph to feel that shove that you keep talking about? I think the whole race track part is what you're missing here. As a street car, I absolutely agree 100%. You want all sorts of low-mid range tq because that's what you actually use. When you're on a race track you'll be lucky to find a corner that you drop below 4-5000rpm(in a car that revs to the sky like the 488 Pista - 7500rpm is what the regular 488 redlines at).
