Cars that make your jaw drop.

I wouldn't hold your breath on the "sound enhancer" staying naturally aural as opposed to being piped through the speakers. They said they were going to do that with the Focus RS, the Mustang and the Ranger. All three ended up with the sound being pumped through the speakers instead.

Also, the 2.7TT offering doesn't allow for the 7-speed manual transmission.

2.7 with 10-spd for me too.

That doesn’t bother me in the slightest. It’s going to be a daily driver above all else, so I’ll take the slush box. I daily drove a manual 2+ hours a day for almost a decade...I’m over the allure of that three pedal life. Hell even in the car that’s not a daily and is very much a play thing, I still have an auto.

So you're part of that demographic that screws over the rest of us from getting manual transmissions in the U.S.?

If someone could embed this one for me...

Edit - it looks like a Hotwheel!

Don't know how to do that, so here's some screenshot attachments

Sweet thanks!

In a sea of 911's this is unexpected for me... So i like it.

At least I’m not part of the demo that keeps wagons out of the US market!

Amen, sir!

 

[TheRobSJ]

Ok. Time for the wagon wars. What’s everyone feeling here? Forget reliability and cost...what’s your choice of these hot wagons currently on sale here?

M-B AMG E63

Jaguar XF Sportbrake

Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo

Volvo V90

Volvo V60

Audi A4 Allroad

Audi RS6 Avant

I’m not going to bother looking up pictures of the Buick or the Subaru since I know nobody would actually pick those.

I’d go with the face lifted E63. That new PanAmerica grille....yes please.



I’d have included this too, but you can’t buy the Taycan wagon yet.

 

[Kornholio]

I think you already know my choice...

 

[TheRobSJ]

I probably could’ve left the A4 Allroad off there too. Nobody would pick that over the RS6.

RS6 would’ve been my first choice but the new Mercedes front end pushed it over the top.

 

[KnifeySpoony]

E63 estate all the way.

 

[Johndicezx9]

I dig the panamera sport turismo...

 

[Kornholio]

I dunno, the A4 likely has a serious market if people knew more about it.

 

[Abacinator]

If you do the instagram thing, check out @obscure_cars_daily he's pretty entertaining

He makes comments like that and then shows a ruined old school NSX. Shame

Amen.

 

[Johndicezx9]

They need to do a Targa or something...

The dude has obviously never driven the new car. The new NSX is an engineering exhibition. Kinda like the original one was. In 1990 the NSX had a full aluminum body and frame, drive by wire, and was the first Honda in the US with VTEC. It was also very easy to drive to its limit...very much like the new car is. Is the new NSX swinging the biggest dick in the room? Nope. Just like the original. Want that, go buy a tennis ball green McLaren or Lambo.

I could’ve bought the new NSX last year. Believe me, there’s nobody more qualified than me to work on those damn things. But I kinda like swinging a big dick sometimes, so I bought a car that is so loud bone stock. it sets off car alarms.

Do we like the new color for 2021? Long Beach Blue.
