    The 100-200 grand sports car market is getting crowded. We have the revamped R8, the NSX, the GT S, i8 and various Porsches. I wonder if there is enough customers for them all

      ...it's an interesting market: once the price point reaches a certain threshhold, while the customer base becomes much more limited, a *lot* of those same customers happily buy several examples of different cars offered to their market, as a stable... ...gotta catch 'em all!..

    While I can appreciate McLarens for what they are, the front ends are just uggh (just based on aesthetics, would rather have a Koenigsegg).

      god knows i agree with you but you are comparing a 911 fighter to a $1 mil.+ hypercar I think to me, a McLaren is a bit special compared to a mere 911 or even the new AMG GT everyone out there has a Porsche or Mercedes or an Audi R8 it takes a special masochist to buy a McLaren

  • EBFlex Ridiculous. “Insatiable demand for these golf carts yet the government needs to waste tax money to support them. What a boondoggle
  • EBFlex Very effective headlights. Some tech is fine. Seatbelts, laminated glass, etc. But all this crap like traction control, back up cameras, etc are ridiculous. Tech that masks someone’s poor driving skills is tech that should NOT be mandated.
  • Daniel There are several issues with autonomous cars. First, with the race the get there first, the coding isn't very complete. When the NTSB showed the coding and how that one car hit the lady crossing the road in the storm, the level of computation was very simple and too low. Basically, I do not trust the companies to develop a good set of programs. Secondly, the human mind is so very much more powerful and observant than what the computers are actually looking at, Lastly, the lawsuits will put the companies out of business. Once an autonomous car hits and kills someone, it will be the company's fault--they programmed it.
  • FreedMike Can we mandate tech that makes Subarus move the f**k out of the fast lane?
  • AZFelix Athenian style ostracism where every county allows people to post egregious driver behavior videos on a public forum and then allow registered citizens to vote to revoke the "winner's" license for one year. Counties with large populations can ostracize one driver per 100,000 residents.
