Lol I just noticed this but I meant that the NB has a stronger engine than the NA.
Hnnnnnggg.
Sucks that it's FWD though. But if they drop the turbo Skyactiv in this thing... It's gonna be fantastic.

Yeah that Koeru is beautiful. Hopefully it goes into production, perhaps als CX-6?

Rear batteries give you better traction on electrons.

$43,300. It's bigger and better looking than the Macan. It's closer to the Cayenne, but priced $10K cheaper.
God bless Jaguar.

That american price.
Macan starts at 77k euro and Cayenne at 86k euro where I live.

I'd rock one of these if it had the right powerplant. That's sexy for an SUV.
I think it's gonna sell like hotcakes.
And as they left the event, there was not a tree in the county without a 911 wrapped around it.

Jag is revealing the XF on the streets of New Orleans. My friends are posting these:
Looks like a cross between an Volvo XC and an BMW X5. Which is not a bad thing at all.

new S4 is going single turbo V6 with no manual or dsg option. zf 8 speed only.
kinda underwhelmed by the exterior but the interior has a bunch of nice touches in terms of design and tech.
edit:
porsche owners: is the difference between a standard Carrera engine and Carrera S just the tune, or is are there anything else?
edit 2:
did not know that the previous C2S ran a 7:40 ring lap. this new one runs a 7:30 apparently.

Well they're not fast. And if you're not getting a manual it will probably be worse. Maintenance can be a pain on them as well.

Supposedly this is gonna be a CX-4... like a coupe CX-5 or whatever.
If that's the case and they drop the turbo Skyactiv in this... I actually wouldn't care if it's FWD, it should be really awesome.
Heh... one of my favorite gifs of all time.
Anyway, are there any modern Dodge Challengers owners in here?
I had the chance to drive an '15 R/T today and I fell in love. The sound of that V8 was captivating and everything about it was awesome, clutch, interior and all that stuff. I've driven a Camaro and the new Mustang before and I liked them but with the Challenger, I felt like I was at home... I really really really want one now.
Not just a tune. Totally different hardware. Current Carrera has a 3.4L flat six, whereas the S has 3.8L with beefier internals.
The new ones are both going to use a 3.0TT, so not sure what the differences will be.
Question for all of you "nice car" owners. Do you drive your sports/luxury car to work? Take a lot of grief over it? There was a lot of debate over the issue on Fchat at one time, but I always felt like those guys were in another league with their potential problems.
For reference, if I showed up in a 987 Cayman S I'm pretty sure there would be infinite amounts of shit talked about how I was overpaid, even though it's not that expensive of a car.

It looks vastly better in every other color and is actually amazing in real life. But super unphotogenic. F40 is ugliest super car IMO (looks like a kit car IRL) and Koenigseggs are just heinous.
I take mine to work every day. I did get some grief at first, mostly that the money could have been better spent elsewhere, and nobody really expected me to pitch up one day with a car like that given my position/pay grade. The grief quickly died down when I explained that I had been saving for this dream car for many years prior, and it was clearly not an impulse purchase.
Ya, seeing it in person I agree, it didn't age well at all.

I didn't see this posted here yet but GM has released the performance numbers for the 6th gen Camaro. The SS comes in at 3685 lbs compared to 3908 in the 5th gen SS, both with TR6060s.

And the new ZL1 or Z/28 was caught on the track

Just wait until you hear it.
/edit: ah, beaten by mmazurkiewicz.
Cool pics though, Evo X. Those slantnoses are awesome.
Different turbochargers, different intercoolers and a different exhaust system equals 50 PS more. Engine core is the same.

It looks like a smaller car is trying to burst out of a larger one. Like in Alien.

Saw an uncamo'd '16 Camaro on the road in Lansing, MI the other day. Looked pretty dang good.

The SS looks good. I'm not sold on the rear end yet, but I'm sure it'll grow on me. If they release a ZL1 with the LT4 I'll order it in a heartbeat.

You mean something like this?
It's pretty wild in person. I think the whole birthing a 911 thing is hilarious though.
What is seen, cannot be unseen.

Yep, but like Jackson pointed out, the analogy for i8 is Ace Ventura.

OMG...I just noticed it. It's the inner-blue surrounding of the rear bumper. It's like a 911 coming out. Hahahaha

that rear window is tiny, will be a nightmare to park and reverse tbh. looks fucking hot though.

It's a 2017 model car. Camera and backup sensors are standard.

I think it's a very handsome car. Great work SUVing the front of the F-Type. The wife said the back reminded her of the older Lexus RX300's in a bad way though. I can see that. The back is definitely weaker than the front, which is kinda weird because the F-Type back is amazing.
Good stuff. Do we have any idea of what to expect?I believe that is the case which will launch in late 2016 as an 2017 model.

Now that's a driving road. The back roads I like to drive are still well paved due to lack of use, but if I end up tailing someone in a minivan who doesn't like to use turnouts then my afternoon is considerably less fun or fast. Those roads look amazing by comparison. Turnout large enough to be a rest stop.

16, you mean? Or does Honda actually stick to the proper year unlike other auto manufacturers?
