I tried. It was amazing how small the NSX was, but it was really spacious. Deep footwells and excellent seating position with the best 5 speed gear box in the biz.
Maybe if I catch cancer I'll fit in a 911. Just kinda over those low cars at this point in my life... |

I petted her gas tank as I left and ensured her she'd have a new, lighter gray garage buddy soon enough. Lol! Right now she needs to deal with the metallic black workhouse. #BLM |

Now, the same agency Daimler uses has also created a campaign for Rolls-Royce, called Rules Rewritten, with very similar intentions: "We tore up the traditional with a powerful, irreverent, enormously playful campaign."

But, I think Saturday's SNL skit where they tried to talk like Gen Zs was, intentionally or not, so inaccurate and yet so accurate regarding how un-cool it is when older gen tries to mimic the younger people. Shit just does not work. I'm of the opinion that brands should focus on what the Gen Z kids value in life rather than trying to mimic superficial things, e.g., slang. BMW's "OK, boomer" comes to mind. Who knows, though, maybe driving a gas-guzzling G-Wagen splattered in paint sends the right kind of targeted message to young & rich potential customers of AMG.

....I suppose it doesn't matter as much since many of us have joined the "other club" that we were bound to join at some point anyway, but change is imminent. If Porsche changes their marketing to attract the Steampunk crowd, it will cement the fact that maybe I'm just an old man at 42 years of age. Lol! |

Experienced Porsche peeps.....
.....Do they make clear or smoked rear reflectors for the 992 Carrera S? I would like to remove the red reflectors and replace them with something that matches the OEM clear/smoked front bumper turn signals. edit: https://rennlist.com/forums/992/1199...out-there.html It looks like my only option is to order a set painted satin black or body colored. |

It introduces the transformation of the brand into a Performance Luxury Brand and addresses two target groups: the performance-conscious and loyal customers who have appreciated the exceptional potential of AMG vehicles for many years, and a new, lifestyle-oriented buyer group that is looking for that special kick and is a pioneer of sustainable consumption. Where AMG saw an easy audience synthesis, M saw mutual exclusivity. It's just the most batshit business/marketing move I've ever seen. How's it panning out for M? Check in on one of the marketing channels where their new direction should have been a massive hit, YouTube. Surely, the target 20% are there. Screaming idiots M3 release video, 7 months ago: 2.4M views 4k likes 2.3k dislikes Screaming idiots M4 release video, 7 months ago: 2.7M views 3.2k likes 1.3k dislikes (Note glaringly disproportionate views:ratings, an indication of serious audience disinterest or artificial influence https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...w-sellers.html) M5 CS release video, 3 months ago: 3.9M views 65k likes 928 dislikes Oops.

So.. Sat in a 992 and drove an M2 Comp over the weekend. Fit much better in the M2 Comp. If I got the 992 I would end up being a Tiktok video getting out of it.....
Pretty sure I am going to grab a manual M2 comp to go with my GX. Seems like a great pairing. |

The M2 is really where performance values is in their lineup. Agree on all your points wholeheartedly. Your car is gorgeous and I'm doing the same thing when/if I make the jump.
P.S. I'm biased, I have Sakhir and I've never gotten so much positive reaction on a car. Quote:

Small step down in practicality, small step up in price for all of you 911 converts, but anyone else taken note of what's going on with the R8? https://media.audiusa.com/en-us/releases/442
Rear-wheel drive now standard, MSRP reduced by a chunk, still a high-revving n/a V10 with dual-clutch. Must be getting close to the end of the line on that formula. Haven't been this interested in the R8 since the V10 manual. Looks like a good time for street + track...
