BeemerBoy Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 ^ Beats me. I've given up on trying to figure out which model is which with them. The Barbie Fiat 500? Why did I not hear about this?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilmoreISnAZN Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Porsche 918 Spyder soooo gorgeous! I would marry this car! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ucnp-srma-A Porsche is looking to prove that the best of both worlds don't have to be mutually exclusive with the 918 Spyder concept scheduled to debut tomorrow at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. Looking a bit like a Carrera GT evolved, the 918 Spyder is powered by both a 500-horsepower V8 and a pair of electric motors (one for each axle) producing an additional 218 hp or 160kW. At full gallop, the concept can theoretically reach 62 mph in 3.2 seconds and nip 198 mph on the high end. On the flip side, Porsche says it can also achieve 78 miles per gallon and emit just 70 grams of CO2 per kilometer. http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/01/porsche-918-spyder-plug-in-hybrid-concept-gets-78-mpg-hits-62-m/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeemerBoy Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 ^ I agree....well maybe not with the marriage part though. It may be the best looking Porsche ever. Even though I'm usually not too keen on modern convertible or targa top supercars, this one just kinda works....really well. And I'm sure Joe loves all that carbon fiber on the interior. Meanwhile, I'm liking the new Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 as well. And check out the F1 concept below it. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMC Terrain 9. Chevy Tahoe 10. Mazda 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) Im picking up my new car after work tomorrow, a 2005 Toyota Avensis 1.8 liter 129hp. Im uber-excited now, Ive been driving an old 91 BMW 318i for five years now. It will be quite a difference to drive such a new car. It's identical to this: Edited March 8, 2011 by viking86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParkTrips Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 And I'm sure Joe loves all that carbon fiber on the interior. you know me all too well Meanwhile, I'm liking the new Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 as well. And check out the F1 concept below it. Thoughts? I'm liking that angle, at least. The intakes are a bit too dramatic for my tastes, but I pretty much always say that with these types of cars. I adore that color though, and don't mind the black rims for once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotlanta Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 A quiz for our resident Ferrari expert Scott, What is this car? A Ferrari F430 right? Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeemerBoy Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Well, it's definitely one of the better looking kit cars I've ever seen. Still, the people who own kit cars amaze me. It's like trying to pretend their blow up doll is the equivalent of Scarlett Johansson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkTrips Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I think there is some novelty in saying you built your own car, but being a replica of a more expensive car is pretty lame. In fact, I think its much more respectable to not be able to afford a Ferrari, then it is to ride around in a fake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParkTrips Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 ^ LOL! They could have at least gone with something somewhat fast Hot off the presses.. "BMW M presents: The BMW M3 Pickup. It is the latest addition to our portfolio of high performance models and is an entirely new combination of sports car and practical vehicle for every day use. We think, it's a great idea - what do you think?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Of Spades Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 That makes a Porche Panamera look like an 8C in comparison. Ick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkTrips Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 ^ I actually disagree with that. Nothing can make a Panamera look anything better than repulsive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmicha Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 ^Absolute truth. I co-oped for school down south in the HIlton Head area and there were more Panameras there than should even exist in total. I couldn't go out for a drive to the grocery store two miles away without seeing one. It didn't help there was a Porsche dealer three miles from my house. Ugh. I just don't get how anybody could look at the Panamera and think, "you know, that's an attractive car. Let me spend the better part of $100k on it."

BeemerBoy Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Honestly, the Cayenne is no beauty queen either. To me, they're equally atrocious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkTrips Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I'm mixed on the Cayenne. I'm definitely one of the people who thinks the only choices one should have to make when buying a Porsche are "what color?" and "turbo - yes or no?", so I don't like it in that aspect, and I'm not a very big fan of sport utes in general, but if I had to get one and it couldn't be an H1 or Range Rover (as in, no intention of really abusing it on terrain), why not get one that happens to be a Porsche?

BeemerBoy Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 ^ Yeah, I hear what you're saying there. I'm just not sure the name and the badge can help it in this case. It's just pure ugly. Would I decline one as a gift though? Nope. It belongs on a better car, but........ ....best license plate ever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParkTrips Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 get rid of all of the 23's, and I love it.
