Your average person can’t. The average car transaction is around 40-50 and that’s based on people already living outside of their means on grave-digging financing terms
But that’s why you don’t see 50 GT350/M1s a day and instead see EBs and GTs
Oh you’re right let’s be specific
You’re comparing performance between a loaded 2+2 with a big trunk versus a completely base, optionless 2-seater
Next performance comparison: transporting adults with legs in the back seats
The adjustment won’t go south. Said this before but price figures will always be most aggressive at launch, typically at or below rate of inflation, and then we’ll see multiple incremental price increases that coincide with increased standard features to bring it in line over the course of the...
NOT BAD
$68k ($67,965) for a loaded example without the gimmicky CF wheels and auto?
Totally fair versus the outgoing mach. I estimated $60k base and $63k starting for this thing and they undercut expectations by about $2-2.5k.
>add CF wheels
>stick on dummy gummy track tires
>add all kinds of chassis bracing
>remove what is essentially the spine of the car and turn it into an al dente noodle
>presto
The moment they cared about handling, like normalizing IRS and fine tuning cornering behavior, they did what every...
Money shot for the door surfacing for sure, also that rocker sill blade looks good how it picks up the showroom lighting. That's a neat little restyling of the outgoing look
What'd you think about it after seeing it in the metal
I swear I remember it being said in one of the Blade trilogy movies but now all I can find online is the Dwight Schrute guy saying it in Transformers and FO3 lmao
Tagging onto that last bit: I’m making an assumption when we talk bland we’re talking about the muddy flank running along the midsection of the doors
It’s never going to photograph well unless there’s good downlighting and/or the paint has metallic flakes to pick up contrast
Comes back to the discussion of still shots versus rollers
Not many hard cuts in the body work so it doesn’t photograph well
I’ve seen it in person, looks much more 3D and sculptural but you need to see light and reflections play off the body for that to make sense
And in the real world cars are clean or dirty
Base models tend to look dull
Lighting in real world can make a difference in a still shot. In this example the sun is sitting directly behind the car and isn’t casting a single flattering projection along the side, which given the angle is all we...
