You must be trolling. The 996 is the only generation that managed to look dated, even just a few years into it's life-cycle.
Good post, that caught my attention too. Not my area of expertise but this looks like a design flaw unless the intention is to deploy these while the car is still upright (and I don't understand why you would). I'd hate to be on the edge of a hairy situation only to have an airbag blast in my face.
That being said, a few years ago I was hooning a friends CLK55 Cabrio and we popped the roll hoops. I was a bit more understanding of the conservatism on a convertible Benz.

Heartclicked for making me both laugh aloud and very angry.
Was it they spent more on advertising BECAUSE they sold fewer cars?
I don't understand why Jaguar has so long refused to jump into the excitement market that Porsche pretty much owns. Before Porsche decided to spend more time on financial engineering than vehicle engineering, they were a titan of profit in a niche market. Jaguars whole history is built on excitement (and that means speed and sports cars too, not just fashion and gimmicky tech), but they just couldn't pull the trigger and build something. The brand is Jaguar, not Pussy.
It's probably his wife's.
I don't agree with this. If you understand you are paying $30,000 for an advertised $20,000 (I'd argue most people do) car and still want to buy it, fill yer boots. If people didn't, there would soon be no more $465 cars or people employed to buy them.
Agreed. That was probably a personal best ET for seeing article to clicking article.
I know a developer who used his C5 convertible to carry extra finishing bricks to a jobsite because he was in a hurry and couldn't pick up a truck. As crazy as I thought that was, compared to his '57 T-bird and '72 E-type it seems the logical choice. See, totally practical.
P.S. his Vette is for sale, you do NOT want to buy it ;)

I'm calling weak sauce, this car is not Jalop. Paint and body kit? Orange suede interior? Intake and exhaust? Sounds like a civic build.
I understand the 40 hookers, but the only way anyone would buy this many cars is to say they bought this many cars. If you're already buying the women, what's the difference?
Does Mitsubishi realize this is the only competitive car in any segment that they make? They didn't even sell cars in Canada until recently. A company that can't build a proper conventional car now has lofty environmental goals? Fuck you, Mitsubishi.
I probably couldnt do much better during my first 5 seconds behind the wheel on a concrete floor next to customer cars.
I have to admit, this new site layout is really pissing me off right now. I don't actually know how to comment, I just started doing stuff and the window came up. I hate the way the articles don't have pictures or brief descriptions in the scroll bar; I don't like having to decrypt a wordy title to decide if I'm going to click on a post. If there was some sort of hover feature where a little window came up that showed more info instantaneously I'd buy into it (full disclosure: I'm an engineer and know nothing of programming or web design). I admit the site now looks gorgeous, but I didn't look at anything on the old site but the articles anyways. Now I'm distracted from content by slick navigation features and design.
I won't go as far to say it's ACTUALLY a bad design until I've had enough time to get used to it, but I'll definitely say it's an unwelcome change because the old format was one of my favorites around the web for being simple and clean. I'm all for change when there's opportunity or requirements, but if it isn't a real improvement, why bother?

@Totoros Porsche: You will fit in nicely around here.
Nice Price.
@Elhigh: Darwinism is well and good if he doesn't kill someone else first.
One of those girls who isn't classically beautiful, but looks pretty damn hot in a tight dress. I like.
All the snooze appeal of a Japanese appliance with 3/4 of the reliability. VW pretty much has no business plan...."Lux up the cars too far up market...oops that didn't work...well, well what if we build them cheaper and dissolve brand differentiation?"
