Cars that make your jaw drop.

No one beats Ferrari for sexiness

Bring your bike helmet. A potato bug in the eye at 100 mph would get your attention

 

[Reli]

Looks like a new & improved Pontiac Solstice.

 

[SuperMike]

Yeah. Totally.

 

[Reli]

Yeah....like the same flares over the wheels, and the same humps behind the passengers. Lower it, add a few creases, chop the windshield off, and slap some bigger wheels on.

 

[Blankpage]

The Solstice looks like a crap Chinese knockoff.

The Solstice looks like a crap Chinese knockoff.

Fun fact. The lead designer of the Solstice is also who designed all the current (and upcoming) Teslas.

Yeah....like the same flares over the wheels, and the same humps behind the passengers. Lower it, add a few creases, chop the windshield off, and slap some bigger wheels on.

By that logic, all cars look the same.

Shit, that explains a lot.

This it the kind of observation that usually comes from apathetic observers. " All motorcycles have 2 wheels, a seat, a gas tank, and some fenders. They all look the same to me..."

If when standing next to them both you still thought there was some sort of resonable compairison between a million dollar Ferrari and a Pontiac Solstice, i would have to conclude that you really dont care about the wildly obvious difference.

Ill never own a Ferrari, but i can appreciate the things that make it what it is. Drive a new top of the line Mercedes-Benz (S600 or AMG) if ever given the chance. It gives you a little of that feeling that " this thing is at a different level of quality" than your Chevy or Ford. I would also concede that lots of that difference is unnecessary in the big picture, but im a car guy and i appreciate excellence in design and engineering. Ferrari has that, Pontiac may have touched it here or there.

Yeah, like how a Carolina Reaper is more than a million more than a Habanero. I get that. I'll stick with Jalapeno.

If you see one out on the street and can't tell the difference between it and a Pontiac Solstice the sound of a 6.5 L V12 should one of the first clues.

Speaking of the NY show...

I’m a little curious as to what the reaction to this is, though I’m pretty certain I know what 100% of it already is. American Honda will be showing the PMC Editions of the Acura MDX and TLX. What’s PMC? The Performance Manufacturing Center is where the NSX is more or less hand assembled and it’s body is painted with a much more involved process than a typical mass produced vehicle. There are hardly any robots except for frame welding for the NSX, which is irrelevant since the MDX and TLX will arrive there as a body in white. So anyways. Here is the TLX...

They only come in this color, Valencia Red Pearl. It is a PPG Andaro paint process that is 10 stages. On the NSX this is a $6000 option. So the gist of it is, that you take a TLX or MDX A-Spec, go gloss black on the roof, wheels, and door handles, put a ### out of 360 plaque inside, spray it with a super fancy paint...and make it about $5k more. All the while, we have all new generations of both of those models slated to be on sale in less than a year. Any takers?

A little more info regarding the paint...

You know, you say that, but of the two cars, only one of them will prevent bugs from hitting me in the face at high speeds, and it ain't the Ferrari.

Its a motorcycle forum. Everyone here has a helmet.

You take the Pontiac, I'll take the Ferrari.
