RS6 C5 is criminally underrated

Dat color :scared:
 
Imho, there are many rich people like royal families, exceptional sheikhs and celebrities, and so on that actually use their vehicles properly not just to show off and own very small but coherent list. And actually have taste, too.

There is a stereotype that rich people (like celebrities or oil-rich sheiks) buy cars only as a way to show off their wealth. He thinks there are actually a lot of rich people who buy the cars because they genuinely appreciate them and want to enjoy them and couldn't care less what others think of their purchase. That is what I got out of the post at least.
 
If I wanted to buy a car, I would rather go for a bit more unique or less mainstream cars.

I have a hard time understanding some car stereotypes. It's like some stranger coming from far away and hearing some inside jokes.

I usually find name rebadging to be useless and only causes confusing between people. Like Nissan Tiida/Versa or Latio/Sunny/Almera...etc

If it was a popular opinion, people wouldn't wander into Toyota dealers by the thousands to spec out their Camry or Rav4 like such:

• I'm one of the few that would prefer to pick this Aston Martin Cygnet, over the original car based on, the iQ or the Smart Fortwo.

It might not have worked well for the profits, but the more I stare at it, boy I do wish I had one myself.

On to the last one, I would gladly say that Vauxhall is useless because only difference is the side of the wheel, especially rebagded Opels. Brand copying is just as bad or even worse than multiple names.

From an aesthetic standpoint,I agree with you, I'd rather have the Cygnet

But the huge markup means I'd probably pick the Smart (although if I really wanted a car that small I'd rather a classic Mini,Fiat 500 or Isetta!)
 
I hate tinted Windows. I think the car looks better with normal windows, plus if you can see the road ahead through the windows of the car in front of you.
"Muh privacy" isn't a viable argument in my opinion. Unless you're blazing it, or going to drive-by your turf rivals, its pretty much just ricer.
 
The Jaguar F-Type is Overrated.

It is difficult to over-rate perfection.

The F-Type R gave out one of the worst perfornances we've ever seen from a performance car on the PCOTY handling test last year.

Because all five drivers (two racers, one drifter, and two wannabe racers) spent their entire runs with the tail out, grinning from ear to ear. Everything else felt humdrum in comparison.

We might have even done celebratory donuts after each run.

Might.

I'm not quite sure. I think I was high on tire smoke at the time.

If you live in an area where it gets hot, tinted windows keep the interior much cooler than windows with no tint. They also help with preventing glare from the sun. There are legitimate reasons to tint a window other than looks or privacy.

I have nothing against tinted windows, but overly-tinted windows...

As a cyclist who's had doors open on him because he couldn't tell someone was in the car, I want to be able to tell when someone's in a car. Of course, people looking before they open their doors would cure this--but they don't.
