4cyl F-Type spotted

An XE is a fine weekday family hauler.

I know, since I worked on Capitol Hill then, that Ford's announcement that they didn't anticipate the need for rescue funding made the Gov happier than it likely made Ford. It was one of the rare good pieces of good news in the auto industry in those dark days. Fortunately, it was a happy ending for Chrysler (with Fiat's help), Ford, GM, and the Gov as things turned around more quickly than expected for the U.S. auto industry.

Hahahahaha! I have to say that bewinged hatchbacks are a little weakness of mine - an affection that I developed from PC racing games. But I agree that if I was single, I wouldnt be looking to a hatch with a wing as evidence of my masculinity.
But back on track, I'd be happy enough with a 4 cyle F Type if it performed well enough and had a decent exhaust note, provided the cost was a fair discount on the 6.

I personally think these discussions of masculinity are a bit silly. I think better approach is to look at it as: 'aggressive looks' and 'performance and handling'. For example, Mustang is an example of aggressive looking car on the road today. Lotus Elise is an example of performance and handling.

If we take all the psychological factors off the table, an electric car is infinitely a better choice is performance, handling and sensibility.
The purpose of a Focus RS is to make all the other drivers of an otherwise douchy car feel like they have thoroughbred linage. Which will make them the worst drivers on the road. When they pull out in front of you and slow you down, in their minds they will have the faster car.

A Jaguar's rarity is that its built mostly to impress the owner and those unswayed by trends. But in CA, trying to make an impression with any car is as futile as trying to impress a call girl with endurance.

No one buys a XE to impress others. Not in a big city. Not everyone wants to impress others- is that not rare in California.
#36
... Regardless, not many will be talking about them, yes? All these passive aggressive projections, are you actually trying to make a point in there someplace? Or is this just a substitute for therapy?
#37
I dunno. Most of the people I've met in the Bay Area don't care much what anyone thinks of them (even though or perhaps because they are some of the most brilliant people in the world).

Me too. But in SoCal (where my other half is from) its all hat and no cowboy.
