Two door shooting brake vs four door wagon?

I like the FF myself.

I'll take one in Guards Red please.

2+2 hatchback/shootingbrake, wouldn't call it a wagon.

Thanks guys, greatly appreciated.

some old redneck douche in a Firebird with iridescent paint didn't like the idea of me passing him on the highway yesterday. Revved his engine, tough guy face, etc. I wasn't in the mood and I know my car is not cut out to race someone that so blatantly invests so much in a hobby car. I had, however, been trading leading and following at 80-85 mph with an E63. I checked my brakes and let the MB Driver pull up, Firebird revved again and the E63 was gone. There was a chase but no contest. Great little episode to break up a long drive.

 

From what Americans post here it often sounds like traffic on US highways is just as much highspeed "war" as it is on the Autobahn. Is it really that bad?

 

I seldomly see any high powered cars here, at least compared to the sheer number of all the little subcompacts, of whom there are WAY enough to stress me out. Throw in the salespeople's A6s and other upscale cars and driving hell it is.

^ looks like a hotwheels toy car from the 80s... in a good way.

the rear reminds me of the rear of the MP4 but seen through the new Apple Maps.

There certainly are cities where there is a take no prisoners attitude which can be intimidating with all the Suvs and trailers if you aren't used to it. I've spent a few years in long commutes in nyc and boston, rush hour can be pretty aggresive or pretty backed up. Nyc has better drivers, btw. I'm sure atlanta, dc, la, sf are all similar that way. Speedwise not so much, those two racin topped at maybe 125mph which is really fast for 4pm anywere, anythng 90+ would definitely be ticketed as reckless unless you're out in montana or some such country. Isn't that normal cruising speed on the autobahn?

dat diffuser, dat profile, dat everything... next level aerodynamics

jeeze I was kind of joking about the similarity between the new mclaren and hotwheels toy cars but apparently here's a new hotwheels lotus concept car toy coming out soon:

why does Mclaren love that orange color?
