In exchange for the loss of the third pedal, we now get two variants of the Porsche 911 Turbo. A standard car with a 3.8L 520 horsepower flat-six and a Turbo S with 560 horsepower. Rear-wheel steering is also in place, much like the GT3, while active front and rear spoilers will give d-bags twice the aerodynamics to manually deploy while stuck in traffic.

    I need Porsche to make this car in a manual so that in 15 years I can by a low mileage example from said d-bag that put only 20K miles on it. That’s why it needs to be a manual, because I want one. That way that I can reward conspicuous consumption by taking advantage of the depreciation for my own financial and materialistic gain. Gosh, is that so hard.

    Who gives a crap about the transmission, did you see the video of those freaking LED headlights on the Turbo S?! so incredibly sci-fi, worth the 200k right there.(no jokes.)

  • Jrhurren Worked in Detroit 18 years, live 20 minutes away. Ren Cen is a gem, but a very terrible design inside. I’m surprised GM stuck it out as long as they did there.
  • Carson D I thought that this was going to be a comparison of BFGoodrich's different truck tires.
  • Tassos Jong-iL North Korea is saving pokemon cards and amibos to buy GM in 10 years, we hope.
  • Formula m Same as Ford, withholding billions in development because they want to rearrange the furniture.
  • EV-Guy I would care more about the Detroit downtown core. Who else would possibly be able to occupy this space? GM bought this complex - correct? If they can't fill it, how do they find tenants that can? Is the plan to just tear it down and sell to developers?
