Amazing features and specs but I’m in the “sick-to-death-of-angry-looking-cars” camp. For crying out loud... one of the things I love about my old 911 is it DOESN'T look mean or angry or aggressive. It looks happy, smiling, maybe even a bit innocent. And then you drive it and... wow!
I guess it’s just a reflection on what I see as one little example of our society hurtling towards idiocracy - everyone needs to be more “Camacho” macho than the next. Bigger, badder, etc. I don’t get impressed by such things.
They could make the car LOOK way more elegant and still plenty fast but... they’re building them to sell and unfortunately lots of people want their chest-thumping “I’m better’n you” attitude on public display so... that’s what’ll sell. I get it but still don’t care for it.
I certainly wouldn’t turn one down. For under $90k that’s a heck of a lot of car and GM deserves to be proud of what they’ve done overall.
