    Pointless safety regulations ensure that these cars fail to be all that they can be. With a 9 pound drive shaft and all sorts of carbon fiber structural elements, this thing should weigh 2,500 LBS instead of 3,500. Where's the extra 1,000 LBS? I don't know - but I do know that it's too much.

    Sports cars should be light. Not Collin Chapman-light (they should be sturdy in my opinion), but light. L I G H T.

    3,500 pounds is heavy.

    I really like this car, even if the retro trend is absurd - I'm a modernist - but not at nearly 2 tons.

    What would really make me happy is to see this thing inspire a Funny Car body for an NHRA team. Th proportions are almost there. Though, the old SLR was even more so.

    I agree 100% with dr. Z.

    It is all about management and missmanagement.

    What's happening now is because of horribly wrong decisions made by the worst president ever, R. Reagan. His idea of "freedom" of the market only encouraged greed and thru this greed we got missmanagement and the disastrous economic situation we're in now.


    This should not be rewarded, never. nor bailed out, never. But unfortunately the financial market is too important for the rest of the economy. If that fails, everything will fail. So we have no choice in giving them money.


    But companies, like car companies, that were missmanaged since years and years, should not be bailed out. Why? because it wont work, you can throw as much money into a company, but it will still go bankrupt because other companies are more competent.


    That's why GM and Chrysler will go bankrupt, absolutely no doubt about it.

    @jodark:


    That is a rediculously ignorant statement.


    Check Harbour's numbers of who has the most efficient plants out there. Here's a hint, since you clearly don't know anything about this. GM has the most efficient plants in the country.

    @rlj676-Carbon Footprint Size - Clownshoe:

    Again, reducing this to the essential argument: It doesn't matter if you are the most efficient, if you don't produce vehicles that the public wants to buy. Efficiency is only a multiplier of profit, not what generates it. Look at Ferrari for Pete's sake.

    Opel goes under

    Dr Z doesn't care

    His only concerns

    are Mercedes and hair


    As Benz models grow

    So his hair does recede

    And puts him in a state

    of vexation indeed


    Now, Opel is not Chrysler

    That much it is true

    But it seems that Herr Doktor

    Is willing to bid them adieu


    Now someday Mercedes

    May be near a fall

    And Z's hair will be gone

    A mustache alone on a cue ball


    There will be no one around

    To ask for fiscal console

    Because no friends has he made

    This bald kraut asshole

    I'm loving Jalopnik having a Euro writer.


    Is it possible that Europeans are moving right while we move left and that the point at which we meet will either be incredible awesomeness or total hell?


    The only thing scarier than a Libertarian German is that mustache, but clearing out the dead weight of industry really excites me for the future.
