Performance Car Values - They Be Crashing

[flibbage0]

I said that, then I purchased my GTR and have had the best 3 years of my life.

Its going up for sale at £34950 this week as a stage 1 car. Happy to do you a better price to avoid the autotrader and pistonhead dreamer crap that will follow

Must...resist...

I've just renewed my insurance, if I had this on my current policy It would be north of £2.8k so I'll wait another year.

Also think I need an intermediate car, would be quite a big jump to go from Volvo V60 diesel to GTR

You’d be much better off in winter with a 4WD, for erm... safety.

I saw a Lamborghini Anus or whatever it's called earlier. I really don't see the point in them.

Why would you buy a Lambo, but an SUV. People probably get excited when they tell them they own a Lambo but then massively let down when they find out it's an SUV

Saw one the other day with my 10 year old boy. He thought it was the coolest car he'd ever seen. There are a lot of fairly unevolved adult men (I'm looking at you GCC) who think like 10 year olds who will lap it up.

They maybe are taking a lead from Porsche - ok Lamborghini is arguably a more niche marketed brand - but I’m sure I’ve read somewhere that Porsche produce more SUV’s these days than cars heck even Rolls Royce & Bentley are on the SUV bandwagon albeit hideously!

Ultimately they want sales and if diversification into the SUV market brings in the punters thats where they’ll go and are indeed going.

I shudder at the thought of a Ferrari SUV but I bet it’s on the cards.

Edit: Kill me now!

Like everyone else Ferrari will do whatever is good for business and SUV sales are BIG business indeed.

Surely the SUV is the idle blend of a car and a truck for though who love driving trucks and going fast. Hi Scania

Hi

I hear you, but personally can’t stand SUV’s, generally too wallowing.

I’ve got my e38 for driving, after a day in the artic it feels and drives like a rocket powered roller skate!

Winter tyres make a bigger difference. Some of the best cars for driving on snow have been RWD, like the old beetle

Tesla roadster, 0-60 in 1.9 seconds! Does any other road car even come close to that? I'm sure it will sell purely as a show piece for the rich, but there is something very displeasing about electric cars (No noise!).

porsche 918 apparnetly does 2.2

but then again not a true petrol car

Sorry @flibbage0, you’ll have to settle for an old beetle.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Yeah, but at least you get a steering wheel in the Porsche

Saw one in person today in a dark grey, and actually it was quite pretty to look at. Was 120k though so LOL NO.
