The 4WD stuff is smashing the views. Take a look the the YouTube channel and it rates higher in a few days than the non 4WD stuff does in a few months...

Apart from the Type R what do they have that's competitive with the other brands?

Everything they sell is old and not very nice. I think that combined with this model, less dealers and service centres (I don't even know where the Honda dealers...

I think you're on the money. The Blackwing was in the future plans of the Corvette during development. Seems the electric thing is now a consumers favorite flavour of the month and they will go hybrid or full electric. I think the C8 styling does suit...

I wonder if they will do a Blackwing motor version since that motor only lasted two or three years

For those that don't know, 4.2 litre DOHC V8 with turbos running at 20PSI making "410kW" -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C...

Geez, here I was thinking the BMW and Porsche option sheets are a bit steep from anything more than a windscreen......

I'm a fan of this body style (you love them or hate them) and the electric conversion with restomodding is pretty cool

The solar roof will be for the initial batch, rest will go normal roof
Hyundai battery tech is currently the bees knees so should be better than Tesla battery tech kg for kg/ km for km
IMHO - It's $100k, the nearest ICE model in their range...

Des the definition of a luxury car simply mean it's eligible for LCT?

If so anything more than $58k is a luxury car, Kluger, HiLux, LC, heck almost everything now with a bit of fruit from the options list

Way I see this

You are a youngster with Maccs pay and you want a cool car. Everything is stupid money - ex SexSpec aren't. It's resonating with an audience, Youtube numbers show that 4 months ago the Lotus episode recorded 537k views. The...

You're not wrong. If you want a base model or non XR they are a steal

Epic build dear sir. Little bit at a time and it will get there...

Because too soon or it took so long?

Back on topic. I've only seen two of these things on the streets, both white. One with a massive time attack/pikes peak style rear wing on it

Are they that thin on the ground?...

I got the MCM hoody. It's freezing in Perfs due to global warming. May I say it works a treat and is very nice quality. Good choice lads......

#FordLyfe - Has the same issue on a XD and the Mustang. Fuck it's got me stump on the XD until a Ford Eng told me (well after the fact mind you) that the Earth straps to the block were junk. The Mustang one was aids and now has a massive 10mm thick copper...

I think this is genuine pre COVID pricing

Pre COVID they didn't fetch much. You could buy a smaller capacity six (2.4 or 2.6?) Mk2 for under $20k in very good condition. I was surprised how cheap they are for what you get. The pain, misery,...
