The New Car Fanatic Thread

[Speedtrucker 2097]

Honestly don't care what it looks like. As the last gas sports car it's going to sell like crazy.

Yep that’s true. They’ll have 3 extra years alone in the gas V8 auto/manual market here…

Still shocked that both dodge and GM decided 2023 was the end for their V8s.

Glad I bought my wide body scat Challenger last year….

No way, that just looks like a fucked uo body kit. 
 

I like the new 2 coupe shape but whats with the ultra square lines?

[Sam Lin 3598]

I love how each new BMW looks like a cheap Chinese copy of a BMW.

[Okie State 3889]

That can't be real.

Sad to say that grill is less stupid than recent

[Okie State 3889]

The rear is unbelievably awful.

[Speedtrucker 2097]

Heh it looks like a buddy kit.

Like I’m Forza/GT when you unlock level 1 body kit for free

It basically comes down to just letting a computer design the car based on aerodynamics.  Whatever that result is, combined with German "creativity" is the car you get.

I thought the same but then I looked at every single refresh they’ve done in the past few years that are ugly as fuck (new 7 series anyone?) and then I totally believe it. BMW design team has totally lost the plot. 

[Atxracer 798]

I’ve seen it on a few sites so think it may be legit.  It’s not that surprising as it’s similar to a street version of a LMP car. 
 

All that said, it’s ugly as fuck.  But, I also don’t like BMW’s.

Must not be an ass man.

[A-Tex Devil 2500]

That puke-UNC beemer has to be a kit car.....  The rear looks like they forgot to finish it.

Panamera Sport Turismo 4S Hybrid rolls off production line at end of week.  Should have it in time for my bday in November barring another container ship fire (too soon?).

[PRONG HORN 3218]

 

Mr. Pagani doesn't really make mistakes in design as far as the whole car goes, but this sure is different.  Available in a manual.

Cracked the grille on my Audi when I hit a big tire tread on the interstate. Fuck.

He asked me to but I was at baseball practice. I’ll go see it soon. I gotta see the Spyker.

[Buzzrock 15136]

Sent this to him

That's great. He seems like a good dude.

looks like balls if you can see the hood bulge line

[936horn 942]

I seriously don't understand the design direction of the new BMWs. I saw the new XM or whatever SUV and it has the stupid grill and the tiny headlights and it just looks fucking awful. Same with the new 7 series. I want to know who the BMW design team did product testing with that thought this new design language looked good.

Don’t see a Singer in the wild very often. I was down there the other day and drove by and saw it. Very fucking cool. They also had a 997 3RS 4.0. 
 

Also relevant (soon) after a bunch of bullshit back and forth my 911 should land late Oct or early nov

My car is on a boat in the middle of the Atlantic and I finally got ONE production picture. Seems like people get 0-3 of them and I didn’t even get the cool one of it finishing production. Oh well.

Love that color. I never got a pic but it also didn’t burn up in the ocean so I’ll take that.  

[ERhine 1938]

Great color on that.

Thanks - it's Gentian Blue. I was originally thinking a non-metallic like Shark or Chalk but when I saw GB on a 718 and then took the painted sample the dealer had out in the sunlight, I was sold on it. Should be taking delivery in 20 or so day. I'll post pics.

You ain’t lying on the new designs of the Silverados. Just awful

It's amazing to me that GM managed to fuck up both the Tahoe and Silverado.

I’m glad they are catering to soccer moms with 8ft of brake lights on the tailgate. 

[Brew 3049]

You all are nuts, the Escalade is much better looking than the Tahoe and one of the better looking full size SUV’s. The front end of the Tahoe’s are stupid looking and not in the same ballpark as the Escalade. I’ve been trying to figure out what to trade it F250 for and I don’t really like much of anything, but I may drive my wife’s Escalade and let her get something else.

[Bozo_Casanova 26851]

great sightlines for the busy mom

[Okie State 3889]

Just because the Escalade looks slightly less shitty doesn't mean it doesn't look shitty.

[ChickenSandwich 9959]

Looks great

 

[LebongJames 1921]

I think the new sport Escalade is great looking ride. I don’t think I would drop over $100k on it.

 

On the Tahoe so many of the trims look terrible. You also need go with 22s to make the wheels even look normal. If I needed a Tahoe I would be ok with the RST but I would want the High Country interior.
