The Recaro thing, the key clue is, "was purchased by US investors..." the proper way to end that sentence is, "then they ripped out every cent of reasonably available cash as dividends, ran it to the bone, meaning 1 contract loss put them into jeopardy and they'll restructure, employees and a few small suppliers will lose out and the game will go on."

Exactly. Even number is an EV, and odd number is ICE, MHEV, or PHEV.

They got that, but missed the fact that this indeed follows the naming convention and is a BEV.

[@HyPe_Proxima]

Currently own a 2015 Ghibli sq4. My biggest complaints are 1. Crystler infotainment system. It’s absolutely horrible. By the time the Bluetooth connects I’m already at my destination. 2. Horrible Turbo lag. Even when floored it takes 3-5 seconds before you feel any boost even at high RPM. 3. The ride is horrible. 4. The all wheel drive system in it is terrible. The rear diff locks up when turning at slow speed. 5. I’m 6,3 and the seats provide zero back support. 6. Even for the time in 2015 the car was already slow. Positives 1. The best sounding turbocharged V6. It really is that good. 2. It Does handle very well at the cost of comfortable ride. 3. It is aesthetically appealing All in all I would say the positives do not outweigh the negatives

[@Games_and_Music]

Kennan spent twice the price of a used 335i on his old M5 in the last 6 months, and still goes like: "Nah, the 335i's aren't reliable, i don't want to deal with that." It's okay, just admit to your irrational love for your baby, Emily accepted it as well.

[@notDonaldFagen]

A 335 is (was) on every street corner. An E39 M5 is an icon, and worth falling in love with and maintaining. There are levels, as I'm sure you're capable of understanding.

My first car was a used 1988 Grand Prix, which had a digital gauge cluster. It died at the end of my senior year of college, so my dad donated it to the Kidney Foundation, which sent him a receipt for his taxes. A year later my college called me asking me to move my car or they were going to tow it. I had a friend check it out. It was still there, with the passenger door unlocked and they keys in the glove box. It's not clear which car the Kidney Foundation towed away, if any.

The problem with a round car - a car that resembles a sphere, is if you're unfortunate enough to crash you're not going to come to a stop. That sucker is going to keep on rollin', vastly decreasing your chance of surviving. Someone who crashed a bubble car in the UK said exactly that, they rolled off the road and into some woods before hitting a tree, all the while carrying the same speed.

If the V8 LC 500 Convertible had a manual transmission option, it would be the perfect car for Kennan! A Lexus, after the maintenance nightmare with the BMW. With Ferrari's money, you should get both anyway. The LC 500 Convertible as a daily driver and the 718 Spyder Manual as the fun car. Keep both for 5 years. The money and stress saved on maintenance and fun would be worth it.

Look at CARWOW and Harry's Garage. They do really well with road trips. Track days don't do so well, and cool new cars always perform the best. Road trips would be awesome. You just have to keep doing it. Just because you make one and it's not a big hit doesn't mean you should stop doing it. Any new type of video on any channel needs time for KZbin to get the right audience for it.

[@OpeoAslam]

I disagree with what was said about the throttle actuators. I believe that you can get a set of gears for them that make them more reliable. You may not need to replace the entire actuator. I've done it to my E60 M5 with almost 90k miles and they've been working great.

This Maserati Ghibli is an insult to the original Maserati Ghibli made between 1967-73. The original Ghibli was one of the most gorgeous cars ever, in either coupe or convertible. It was also very well made (as long as you kept rust away) and was much easier to maintain than this modern monstrosity. The originals now sell for serious money, as where the newer Ghibli’s depreciate at an alarming rate and will never be coveted in the future. Doug did drive an original Ghibli a few years ago (the video is still on youtube) and he was blown away by it.
